In Ireland the best beer I found ( and I did my due diligence ) is Smithwicks . It is available in the U.S. now but the bottled variety doesn't seem as good as I remember the tap.
Budweiser PR problem?
- Thread starter durango
- Start date
How has the tap version of Smithwicks compared? I see Smith, Harp, and Guiness on tap around here a bit. I like Guiness on tap a lot better then I do the bottle, if you get someone who knows how to pour it.
It takes close to a month for ship to cross the Atlantic, then truck it. Plus with any small consumption beer, you just don't know how long it sat in the store or bar.
I would think Guiness would ship better, being a stout. But being low in alcohol, that may effect it storage. I like the Imperial Stouts, which were made to be shipped, and they are all high in alcohol.

The only thing I like about Budweiser are the Clydesdales -- clearly, they have more loyalty, intelligence and integrity than Busch IV.
That's a low hurdle, even for a Clydesdale.

I'm gonna protest. I'm not gonna buy any more Michelob Ultra this week. I just picked up two cases of Yuengling anyway.
Microbreweries don't always produce a good beer. We have one attached to a nice restaurant. I took a visiting New Zealander there once. New Zealanders know their beer and God, can they drink it! The restaurant had all seven of the microbrewery beers in little glasses in a fancy iron rack thingy. We each ordered one. Independently we both decided none of them was much good and after dinner we went home and drank Dos Equis! (Oscura, not that pale stuff)
Try Yuengling. Oldest American brewery in existence. Good beer IMHO.

outside of some bad statements ...
that some folks wont agree with , on the nra , ar15 type guns or what ever, i still like a cold bud .
as a matter of fact it DOES NOT taste rotten to me and prefer it over a lot of other brews ... even sam adams !

My dear ol' Irish father would buy a case of the cheapest beer (Rule 3's Fishers Ale) and a 6 pack of Guinness Stout. He would open a bottle of Guinness and a can of Fishers, pour the Fishers into a frosty mug and add a shot of Guinness to the mug and mix them together. He said that the stout gave the cheap ale a better taste.
Personally, I would decline a Bud if offered one.. I'd rather go without.
Here you go , look up your favorite.
Sweaty Betty Blonde - Boulder Beer / Wilderness Pub - Boulder, CO - BeerAdvocate
I just happen to have a six of these in my fridge right now. Never tried it before, but interesting.
Oh I found the Bud page..
Budweiser - Anheuser-Busch - Saint Louis, MO - BeerAdvocate
Not so good... of course to each his own...
As someone else mentioned. I know a couple of hard core Bud drinkers, they are both drunks.. won't even go into a bar that doesn't pour Bud..
Ill pass on that..

Yeah, there is, but not (I think) with most people who drink micro beers.
There's a snob factor with lots of people who are consumer cultists of all sorts of products, people who want to tell you--sometimes very subtly--that "my make/model/brand of gun/car/truck/beer/etc. is better than your make/model/brand of gun/car/truck/beer/etc. and that makes me better than you."
Ever meet a guy who says or implies that if you aren't carrying a Glock or a 1911, or if your cartridge doesn't start with a "4", that you're an ignorant loser? They aren't hard to find.
Too many people are pathetically jockeying for status based on what they own or consume--and some reverse this, trying for superiority by embracing an "anti-status" approach. They all should be treated gently--hopefully most of them will eventually mature.
Reg Bud gives some people a headache because it has rice in it. It's the only one that I know of. The mold on the rice gets allergies upset. I heard this from A Busch himself on a call in radio show. 2 reg Buds gives me a head throbber.
For those that think those that like micro brews are pretentious or something.
If I offered you a choice between 2 handguns for free.
1. a S&W Model SW1911SC E-Series or
2. A Wilson Combat Tactical Supergrade Professional
which would you choose?
I thought so....

Well, I dunno, Boris B--they'd both taste about the same to me.

Alcohol is involved in about half the crimes and almost 40 percent of the murders in this country, year in and year out, it would appear.
Busch's family has been, until recently, involved in the production of alcohol for over a century.
It would seem that he has a lot more to be ashamed of than his NRA membership.

Almost forgot about this: about 30 years ago we had a garage sale and right in the middle of a bright blue-skied Saturday afternoon a tall middle aged and very attractive blond in a nice looking ladies business suit walked up to me and asked if I was the home owner. She smelled so good I went blank for a minute but the clouds parted and when I came back I admitted that I was indeed the homeowner.
She asked me if I was a beer drinker. I just couldn't make myself lie to that face. I admitted that I was a beer drinker. She asked me if I was interested in participating in a survey. I wanted to ask her if it involved the removal any articles of clothing but I just gave her my best smile and told her that if it would help her out at all I'd be happy to.
She said she had 2 six-packs of beer in long neck bottles with either a Red 1 or a blue 2 on each bottle. She asked me to drink the six-pack with the red 1s first and not all on the same day. Then the following week to drink the six-pack with the blue 2s on it in a similar fashion. The week after that she'd come back and interview me on both the red 1s and the blue 2s. She refused to tell me what brands of beer they were.
When I opened the first red 1 I knew on the first mouth full what it was because it bit my tongue off. It was without she slightest doubt what so ever Budweiser. I drank about half of that bottle and poured the rest out. I gave the rest of to my neighbor who liked Bud and he agreed that it was definitely Budweiser.
At that time I was drinking Miller High Life and again I had no doubt that was what was in all the Blue 2s. I drank em all...at the same time.
When the lady came back around I invited her in and she sat down in my favorite chair (intentionally?) and opened up her briefcase and pulled out her little clip board. She asked a series of questions about both beers and I answered her honestly.
I finally asked her what they were. She said that she was not allowed to divulge that information. Her snotty tone kind of torqued my jaws so I told her that it was alright, I knew what they were. I told her that the red 1 were so foul that I didn't drink them and that I knew they were Budweiser and I gave them to my neighbor. I then told her that I knew that the blue 2s were Miller High Life and that I drank them all right down in one sitting.
She gave he a "Harrumph" stuck her nose up in the air and walked out to her car. I had to laugh when it wouldn't start. I stood at the living room window grinning as she look up toward the house with a pleading look in her eye. I just stood there. She finally got it started and left.
I couldn't help feeling a little hurt that she never called or came back to see me. I just hate it when one of them golden moments gets away from me. But...I did get a free six-pack of good beer outta the deal.
