In praise of Budweiser

lostinsuperfunk

There is only one major issue on which I stand completely alone, reviled by all. And it’s this; Budweiser (by which I mean the real Budweiser, the beer which has been sold under that brand by Anheuser-Busch since 1876) is really quite a good beer.

This is probably verging on heresy for readers of this forum, but it's a witty defence of the watery yellow stuff (which, by the way, I am not a fan of).

Interesting article - it's still p*ss though

I can only assume (and hope!) that that article was written in jest.

Budweiser does not taste like piss. Normal urine has a pH of 4.6 to 8.0. Budweiser, like most lagers, has a pH of around 4.0. Therefore, Budweiser is definitely more acidic than piss

When you're comparing acidity to determine the similarity of taste to piss, then you know you're really clutching at straws...

So, Budweiser tastes like acidic piss. Gotcha.

this article made me want to have a nice cool glass of Schneider Weisse. Bud is piss

The best thing I can find to say about Budweiser is that it doesn't taste of anything much at all. At least it doesn't taste bad.

My mate drinks the stuff every week in the pub and I've tried in vain to get him to drink anything else but he loves the stuff ..

Theres no telling some people I'm not a lager drinker at all - bottled guinness or draught if no bottles available - the only time I drink lager is when in Spain or Portugal and then it's the local stuff.

I would'nt give bud to my dog even if he was die'ng of thirst !

Some very missed in formed information, especially the "These so-called “craft brewers” are a newfangled modern", there are continually blending/change their hops and have released a raft of "specialist beer" to take the craft beer market including the michelob beers

It's at least slightly tongue-in-cheek. I wouldn't agree with what he says about industrial scale brewing being necessarily better. More consistent, perhaps, but those Belgian monks were pretty handy at small scale brewing several hundred years before the industrial revolution.
