bjorn_skurj Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Good. I disapprove of all those beers which are losing sales. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ih8music Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 yeah, but those drinkers are jumping to even worse swill like Natty Lite and Keystone - bleah! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Good Old Neon Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Good. I disapprove of all those beers which are losing sales. I agree, it’s swill. But if folks stop purchasing the expensive, $3.00 a six-pack premium beers brewed by Budweiser (/sarcasm), what will happen to micro-brews? They’ll go out of business or get swallowed up by Coors or some shit. ome shit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They’ll go out of business or get swallowed up by Coors or some shit. ome shit. i don't think the micro-brews will be hurt by this since it is a completely demographic all together. i can't imagine someone going from a quality micro-brew to a bad budweiser anything to save a dollar. if you're already drinking bud, you're cheap to start with and have no taste and were likely never going to shell out the cash for the good stuff anyway. i do hope micro-brew sales haven't declined like the crappy beers though. if i saw those numbers, then i would probably be saddened by this news.

bobbob1313 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 It's an ongoing debate on college campuses across the nation, and I happen to fall on the side that says there is not a real difference between bud and natty after the first 3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I cannot stomach cheap beer – I think the genesis of my distaste for it harkens back to my freshman year in high school, drinking warm Bud behind the local mall prior to hitting the arcade. It did nothing for my Galaga skills. I rarely drink, but when I do, I usually stop by the Portsmouth Brewery for a yummy Black Cat Stout. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M. (hristine Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 At a beer tasting recently I spit a mouthful of "craft" lager into the wastebasket of the guy running the tasting. Ugh. How can people drink that swill.

Gobias Industries Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I only accept Natty Lite when it comes to beer pong. Especially if I'm responsible for my own beer. A friend once said, "the best kind of beer is free beer" so I tend to go along with whatever if it's there, though if it's not good I refuse to drink more than one or two by itself.
