Why wouldn't they be able to handle it? Budweiser is a lot stronger than a lot of beers.

Erm its 4.3% ABV. Just like Heiniken, Miller, Carlsberg (though the cans only seem to be 4%), Most of the contenetal stuff is 5% or more.

Does it not get boring compiling unpaid statistical surveys of local shops at the weekend?

Doing that and adding to my pressed flower collection is how I spend my weekend.

On topic, they drink de buds and wear de trackies cause it's their identity, and they want to fit in with each other. Simples.

Taste is subjective, as is style.

Bud and tracksuit clad skangers is a stereotype which is probably true. Can one of these handle quality German beer? No they cannot, they drink the weakest beer(Bud) and act as if they are the toughest guys in the hood!

They are really weaklings who can not handle stronger beer, guess it goes with their inferior intelligence.

E.G. Rheinbacher 6 x pint bottles for 6.??. Result.

Alright it ain't the best but its better than ****ing budweiser.

Take that back! Rheinbacher is Gods gift to man! It's the best beer in Ireland imo. Closely followed by St. Etienne!

Bud 66 is alright. It's all about the bubbles. Small bubbles = nicer beer, ie: St. Etienne, Jupiler, Blonderbrau (yes, those bright orange cans!).

It's 4.8%. It was 5% until January 2012 when its ABV percentage was cut.

Meanwhile back in Ireland we have our own excise rates which haven't increased since 1994.

http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/excise/duties/excise-duty-rates.html

Exceeding 1.2% volume but not exceeding 2.8% volume 7.85 per hectolitre per cent of alcohol in the beer
Exceeding 2.8% volume 15.71 per hectolitre per cent of alcohol in the beer

Bud is obviously a gateway drug.

anyone know where I can lay my mits on some Jupliler in Dublin, a damn fine brew indeed

I meant to say Jupiler, haven't started yet if you're wondering, it's only two o'clock

It's made from rice, making it a lot lighter than a typical continental lager.

Marketing, product placement in Hollywood Films, that stupid American trailer-style gravelly voiceover on the ads.

It's called BUD, bud.

If your target market has no taste already ( John Player Blue, Baby Blue Tracksuits, Soapbar Hash, Air Max, Yop, Chips, Aslan ), then the quality is moot.

I dont see anything wrong with budweiser,but i prefer bulmers myself more of a cider drinker,its what i drank in my youth,(minus the tracksuits),but ya seeing someone coming out of an offie with a full shell tracksuit and a slab of budweiser isnt exactly an image to behold..

BUDWEISER IS MY FAVOURITE BEER!!

Beer snobs are the worst type of people.

I didn't read the whole thread, hope I don't repeat anyone, but I've been aware of this phenomenon for a good few years. At some point, around 10-15 years ago, lager became the drink of choice amongst the 15-30 year old male demographic. It supplanted guinness and other stouts and ales. Some Budweiser/Heineken drinkers were also Cider drinkers but I think the lager was doing most of the business.

Anyway, over the last 10-15 years, Irish working class, or should I say, Irish social welfare class, have had bit of a glut in terms of recreational spending. If money was tight, they may be required to drink the 6 for a fiver type drinks but they are not. So in the same vein, that people that don't seem to work a lot, or earn a lot, have a lot of expensive runners, tracksuits, phones, cars etc. they also spend that bit more on the cans. I think it's bit of a paradoxical sort of social snobbery, these young fellas, especially the more savvy, slightly higher up the social scale ones, wouldn't be caught dead drinking dutch gold but go for budweiser every time.

BillyMitchel

The judging and snobbery on this thread is unbelievable. It's a drink for gods sake it's always the same out come after a few anyway.

Get called a social welfare bum if you fancy a can of Dutch gold.

Get called a skanger if you drink Budweiser. Mightn't be to your taste but you can't deny how much of that stuff gets sold all over the world.

FFS folks get a grip! Does it really bother you that much?

I tried some Bud Light once on the recommendation of an American friend. Never again.

Why is Budweiser so popular in Ireland as opposed to the UK?

Think it's because they've got the likes of Carling, which is all over the place in England (and Tennent's in Scotland), whereas neither of those beers have any serious foothold in the Irish market.

Drinking today is more of an idea that has to do with lifestyle .
It is'nt as much about beer as about alcohol .How many would bother without the alcohol .The young will never complain and the brewers know this very well .They don't complain because they know nothing better . Real Ale is something you don't forget .

Fosters and Stella are the most consumed there I'd say. Well seemed like that when I was there. If I remember correctly it was rare to have bud on tap.

I live within eyeshot of an offlicence and I can say without fear of contradiction every, lets say tracksuit clad but not an athlete, person that i've noticed going in comes out with a 6-pack, crate, slab whatever of budweiser. Without fail.

Its not the the cheapest gatt around but its without doubt the foulest pisswater known to man.

So why do our sporty friends drink it ? Do they think its fashionable and care what others in the bush see them drinking ?

Answers on a postcard.

It's all down to marketing. When Anto and Deco sit down to watch the Premier League, they are bombarded with ads for Budpiss etc.

It shows just how impressionable they are. It's disgusting.
