To end all debates, Budweiser or Bud Light?

[rawimpact]

What do you prefer for casual drinking?

[GiveItToBurrito]

Regular budweiser.

Actually, a better answer would probably be neither, since the only American beers I really like are Yuengling and Coors Light. Corona is and always will be the GOAT.

[Lamar Doom]

I guess it all comes down to whether or not you're looking for superb, unmatched drinkability or a bold, full-bodied, but not over-powering AMERICAN lager.

Why not have one of each?

if im in the position where i have to choose between the two i go with bud light.

[johndeeregreen]

OK, I call BS on this one.

Coors Light is beer flavored water and, along with Miller Lite, Bud Light, etc. generic as f*ck. I flat out refuse to believe that you like Coors Light but not Bud Light. The difference in taste is negligible. I don't believe for a second you could taste the difference between two watered down light beers. That's like saying you like chocolate but won't touch Hershey's.

[~primetime~]

Neither. They're both piss-water. If I had to choose though, Budweiser.
no offense to you Shannon, you seem like a really good poster, but I have seen this exact comment many times here and it always comes of "douchy" to me...

To me if you are too good to drink a premium american ale then you are just not a man...

drinking a Bud Light at a sporting event can be one of the greatest beers a man can have IMO...

what do you drink during summer BBQs??? freakin Guiness???....no, a light beer is pretty much the only way to go...


again, I am not trying to call you out, it is just the vibe I get when people say that, you are far from the first...

very true...

although I do have a freind that for some strange reason his face turns all red when he drinks budweiser products, so he has to drink Coors, but that is a rare exception obvioulsy...

yeah, I can't really imagine someone loving one of those and hating another...

for whatever reason, i think miller lite tastes different/better than those other light ones.. however my beer of choice is stella. if they don't have that i probably have a heineken, and in the rare event they don't have either (cha cha lounge in la) ill drink a corona.

and if im feeling cheap, PBR is the way to go hah

I am sorry but both are really, really bad.

Try Belgian beers. We've got about 100 that are probably better than your best. :pimp:

Guinness is an overrated but well made stout. My favorites for sure, but i'm talking American Lager.

Anyone that says Corona is the best is total crap. Corona is made with hops grown in trash.

ok, when you say "really, really bad" do you mean like you would throw up if you drank one?

or are you just saying that they are bad compared to Beligian beers???




what the hell did you MFers do when you went to a keg party???...did you tell everyone the beer is nasty and bust out your own fancy sh*t???

[rawimpact]

I have to agree, i drink a few 32oz millers now and then. For 1.59, who can say no?

Have you guys tried miller chill? It's a lot better then budlight lime or whatever they're calling it.

would anyone be interested in a once-a-week beer review in this off court lounge?

haha easy there, those belgian drinkers are spoiled in terms of drinks but we americans have other things going for us.

Sure belgian beers are good, but they are pricey and are a whole different breed of beers.

Don't compare apples and oranges.

Yeah since no one drinks when they're teenagers right?

let me ask, did you attend college? away from home?

Sad to hear alcoholism runs in your family, but does posting while intoxicated (PWI?) run in your blood as well? That'd be unfortunate.

BTW bars are for ppl who don't have anyone to drink with.

-I drank when I was a teen

-I attended art school after high school

-being on a computer while drunk is not something my family delt with, however had the internet been around I am sure they would have

-I go to sports bars with freinds...or at least I used to

'happy hour" is when everyone from work goes to the bar after work...not alone...and the bars have specials during that time...

[~primetime~]

you have never been to bars where it is just full of a bunch of people alone...???

[GMW]

I wouldn't throw up, but beers like Corona or Budweiser just don't have any taste to me. I could drink 10 of those and it wouldn't taste terrible, but I want my beer to have some taste you know? When I see the American beer ads it doesn't seem to be about taste at all, just "drinkability". I don't even know what that means.


Sure belgian beers are good, but they are pricey and are a whole different breed of beers.
We've got all kinds really. You got the heavier beers which are my favourite (Westvleteren, Westmalle, Duvel, Chimay, etc) and you have regular lagers (Stella, Jupiler, Cristal), and something in between (Leffe for example).

[rawimpact]

Dude, look at the class of beers you're comparing... America's cheap "party" beers versus belgian upper-class beers... not a fair comparison at all.

it means you can drink alot of them...

they are really pretty much ment for pounding...

you can't drink a 12 pack of guiness because you would be too full and bloated...drinking a 12 of Bud Light is very doable though...


also good for warm weather or sporting events...no one wants to drink a dark beer on a hot day...

Sure people would, not everyone wants drinkability on a hot day. A three-dollar guinness is very tempting on a hot day IMO.

difference in taste I guess... I love a cold, dark beer or a heavy triple beer on a hot day. But you can't drink 12 of those without being hammered, that is correct.

[~primetime~]

http://www.bigspaceship.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/dropbox/m_the-corona-beach_1.jpg

swap that out with guiness and it doesn't work dude...

you don't see gobs of people drinking dark beer at beaches...

[rawimpact]

Dude, a dark guinness would look 10x better to those that enjoy beers brewed with multiple tastes.

And beers should be in a chilled glass to maximize the flavor.

[Meticode]

I don't drink, the last time I took an alcoholic drink was 3 1/2 years ago. But, as far as living in Wisconsin seemingly most people here prefer Bud Light from my experience over Budweiser.

[methusala]

Am I the only one who thinks Guiness tastes like coffee mixed with chew spit?

[rawimpact]

Nope, you're not the only one.

[Quata]

Quata, i'm guessing you're a fan of bitter lagers then eh?
Not really, just drinking budweiser compared too all the other beers i drink is like having a glass of cordial. I like them a tiny bit bitter, but not those full on strong as **** european ones.

[methusala]

Ok cool. Not gonna knock another man's tastes, but damn. I've accidentally sipped a few spitters in my life, and those episodes came flashing back the second I drank some Guiness.

[Lamar Doom]

Blue Moon is from Canada, but I'm repping you anyway. :D

oooohhhh, f*ck me, it's just "belgian STYLE". son of a b*tch. sh*t is super tasty on a patio, summer night, big slice of orange in it.

[Juvenile]

European beer > US beer-flavored water. If I had to choose, Bud over Bud Light. And "Drinkability" is not a word.

[Jackass18]

Corona is and always will be the GOAT.

Corona sucks, that's why most people have to drink it with a lime.

[InspiredLebowski]

If I gotta choose between the two, easily Budweiser. If I get to pick my own domestic cheap beer it's Amber Bock though. And Corona is gross, but to each their own.

[LJJ]

Dude, look at the class of beers you're comparing... America's cheap "party" beers versus belgian upper-class beers... not a fair comparison at all.

Lol at Stella and Jupiler being upper class beers.

Lol at upper class beer in general.

[ukplayer4]

if i had to choose between the two it would be budweiser, it can just about be drunk- at a bbq on a hot day when you want the lightest beer drinkable, only then is it acceptable. im not even into strong beers but even i consider bud light to be piss.



most of my favorite beers are belgian, my favorite probably being hoegarden- so much subtlety and depth.

very nice!

http://www.zeenz.nl/images/uploads/Westvleteren1.jpg

best beer in the world!

[quasimoto]

Both suck. Even the ****tiest Belgian beers are 10 times better than Budweiser. Westvleteren is by far the best beer I've ever drunk but it's nearly impossible to get. You actually have to drive to the abbey where they produce it, somewhere in a small village in the middle of nowhere, and all they give you is one crate. That, or you can buy a bottle in a bar at 10 euros a piece.

My favorite lagers are Jupiler and Stella (which are NOT upper class beers, although I believe that's they way they are promoted in the US)

[InspiredLebowski]

The hell is an "upper class beer?" Seems like an oxymoron to me. I hear upper class I think some decades old wine or something, not beer.

I don't drink beer much outside of when I'm drinking at the cottage or too lazy to go to the LCBO and get some harrrrd liquor. So when I do drink beer, it's my father's ****ty stuff. I mean some crap 4% taste like urine ****.

I do like Alexander Keith's Amber Ale though. That is good.

Coors Light is beer flavored water and, along with Miller Lite, Bud Light, etc. generic as f*ck. I flat out refuse to believe that you like Coors Light but not Bud Light. The difference in taste is negligible. I don't believe for a second you could taste the difference between two watered down light beers. That's like saying you like chocolate but won't touch Hershey's.

I'm sorry, but it's true. Coors Light from a bottle just has this weird, kind of smooth taste to me that I find appealing. Bud Light tastes better than Miller Light, but it's still not as good as Coors.

It's ridiculous that you like Coors Light but not the other generic light beers. That's really all there is to it. They may taste a little different, but certainly not enough for you to like one but not the other.

I have to admit that I've been known to suck down a few Coors Lights on a hot day at the golf course, but I think it's because it's basically water that also gives me a buzz.

*shrug* I'll drink it. I'm with primetime here, if I'm out barbecueing I don't need a Sam Adams with the consistency of motor oil. If I'm going to drink 15 of them, I don't want something that makes me feel like I've eaten a sandwich drenched in alcohol. I do enjoy a beer with a rich taste, but there's a time for that and there's a time for the High Life.

Second of all, Corona is for people who "stand out." By that I mean, a group of five guys come to a bar, 4 order Buds but the fifth insists on Mexican macrobrewed piss with either a slice of lime or that grenadine marashino cherry ****. That one guy with his Corona, he's the "cultured" one, not to be confused with those boorish friends of his that drink American macrobrewed piss. Sometimes this ******* comes in the Heineken drinking variety, "giving himself a good name." He's not like the other *******s, he's a special kind of *******. After a few years of tossing grenadine, lime juice, oranges, and WTF-ever else he will finally accept the fact that he just doesn't like beer and really never did. If he wants to pretend to be manly he'll start drinking vodka and tonic water. If he just decides to be honest with himself? Order up that Cosmopolitan. And in the privacy of his own home? Smirnoff Ice and Mike's Hard Lemonade.

The Carolinas and Pittsburgh have strong connections, it seems. From what I hear, there are a lot of Pittsburgers that migrated down that way, so it would make sense that the beer is sold down there as well.

Funny thing is, before I moved here, I KNEW that I had that beer before, but couldn't remember for the life of me where. People around here kept telling me that they old sold it in this city. I lived in South Carolina for 7 years, so it HAD to have been down there where I had it, because they didn't sell it in my other state of residence (Ohio)

However, when I go to a place that has a huge selection, some of which I have never heard of before, I tend to go with that new item just to see what it's like. (which is how I came across the linenkeugel). It's kinda like going to a restaurant with a huge menu full of items that you have never tried before and getting.........a hamburger. :confusedshrug:

Some people like their creature comforts, and others, when the opportunity presents itself, want to try something unique. Nothing is wrong with either approach.

(Granted, there are certain restaurants that I go to that I will get the EXACT same thing each time)

That just makes it seem more like a chick drink, lol.

I really liked the catfight chicks, but weren't they Miller?

yeah that isn't what the marketing team intented at all...

they were trying to attract men with those pics/posters...not women

Actually, a better answer would probably be neither, since the only American beers I really like are Yuengling and Coors Light. Corona is and always will be the GOAT.

That's pure ROFL. Corona is, at best, the fifth best Mexican beer. Seeing as Corona is your favorite and the only American beers you like are Yuengling and CL, I can safely assume that you have not tried very many different beers.

EDIT: lol at primetime defending his pee beer. $250,000 a year and still white trash.

Busch Light is f*cking gross. :oldlol:

it seems douchy doesn't it?

I don't think I have EVER gone to a bar or club and seen a dude refuse or complain about any beer being "piss water"...

yet somehow on the internet, every beer dork on the planet pops out and explains how they will only drink some stange asian sh*t that no one has heard of...

I am not trying to insult anyone but damn it seems like this thread lacks balls...("oh gosh, budweiser just disgusts me, I have to have leidenmulger with peaches that you only find in a tiny German town, now where the hell is my purse?")


props to JDG for being a "highlife man"...(aka, a normal male)
Different cultures man... no offense, but every beer here is far better than anything you guys have. Or at least, it is for me. If you don't like beer with a strong taste and just want to be able to drink 10 in a row without getting knocked out, you'll probably like American beers better. But I, and I think most people from Western Europe, like our beers better.

I can only speak for myself, and since Inbev has taken over/merged with AB pubs here have Budweiser as well, so I got to taste it. It's something I would finish if someone bought me one but I would not spend a single cent on it myself. I can honestly tell you that of all the Belgian beers I have tasted (around 50), even the least good one is still far better than Budweiser. It hasn't got anything to do with Bud being an American beer, cause Corona and Heineken are equally bad, if not worse.

The only thing Bud has over our beers are the hot chicks in the ads :D

I don't know whether to :oldlol: or :rolleyes: . I guess both.

How many American beers have you tried exactly? Just within 100 miles of where I am right now is the Coors brewery, New Belgium, Breckenridge, Rock Bottom, Flying Dog, Avery, Boulder Beer, Wynkoop, Anheuser Busch, and many others. But I'm sure you've tried all those, huh?

There are some very good American beers. The masses tend to prefer the mass-produced, mass-advertized stuff.

I like almost all beers...(minus some stuff with berries in it or stuff that is so dark it is tar)

it just comes off douchy to me if someone were to actually complain about a "regular" beer in real life....that's all

and btw, Budweiser has just as much alcohol as guiness or bass or pretty much ANY beer in the world for the most part (minus 1%-2%)

the reason you can't drink a 12 pack of Guiness is because it is ridiculously filling....that would be like 1000000 calories...you would feel amazingly bloated...

you would have to quit becaues you are "full", not drunk...


American Ales are not like that, you can drink alot of them without feeling like you just ate an entire f*ckin pig...

btw, "water" is one of the main ingediants in all beer...

you are right, I should have said anything I have tasted. But if they are anything like Bud & Miller, and I hear from pretty much everyone that most are, it can't be much better.

The funny thing is, over here I would be considered an easy person when it comes to beer cause I drink pretty much every beer we have here. The thing is, Bud is not considered a "regular" beer here.

Different culture and different taste I guess.

A common misconception. Guiness has less calories than most beer.

[i seen hippos]

Why do people drink beer at clubs? At bars I can understand. Casual.

At a club. With a bunch of girls in slutty dresses? No. Beer doesn't cut it. You got vodka, whiskey, gin or rum if you're a girl. You drink that and only that.

Unless you're one of those cool guys who leans against the wall and circle jerks with his couple buddies trying to act like they're laid back in front of all the girls with their pretty smiles. You know, the guys who come in with the tight white T and the backwards cap. Everyone else knows they're trying to pick up harder than anyone else.....while we drink a few bottles, get too drunk, say dumb **** to girls and get laid.

Oh wait....they're still at the club trying to figure out what lines to use....

[Randy]

Well let me tell you, "everyone" is wrong. Bud, Coors, and Miller are the most prominent because they're cheap to make and cheap to buy.

There are hundreds of excellent American beers, lagers, ales, stouts, porter, pilsner, etc. but because they are usually brewed and distributed locally, they are not as popular. For example, New Belgium makes some of my favorite beers, but until recently was only available in 15 states but is still considered one of America's most successful microbreweries.

Bud Light:

110

Guinness:

210


been spelling it wrong this whole time I just realized...

anyway, it seems to me that you are wrong...

a 12 pack of Guinness would be 2,520 calories

a 12 pack of Bud Light would be 1, 320 calories


that is a huge difference...

[~primetime~]

Fair enough, but to me it comes across like "drink Budweiser! We girls will **** you because it makes you the man!" :oldlol:

You are correct. My point is Guinness isn't outrageously loaded, as one might assume.

you got tht off WikiAnswers...

and that dude got it off this:

http://www.shapefit.com/beer.html

maybe the 210 was based on the 16 oz. drought beer can or something...


110 to 153 is still a pretty big difference though...Guinness is 4.27% alcohol and Bud Light is 4.1%....nearly the same




McEwans Scotch Ale....295 calories (9.5% alcohol)...:oldlol:

12 pack of that will just kill you...
