Maybe we'll stop hearing about how bad it is now.

PHILADELPHIA/NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. brewer Anheuser-Busch Cos Inc (NYSE:BUD - News) agreed to a $50 billion takeover by Belgium-based InBev NV (Brussels:INTB.BR - News), a source familiar with the situation said on Sunday, creating the world's largest beer maker.

Nope... its a British instituation to approach the Bar and declare in answer to the question "What's yours?"

"Anything but Bud!"

But I drink it... wet... alcoholic... readlily available!

Right now thems be my beverage critieria!

They're involved in upper management, not production level operations. Bud will continue to taste just as piss poor as it always has, so long as people continue to buy it. Just like when they bought out NewCastle Brown Ale.

NewCastle Brown Ale.

Yuck! Dog... Newky Brown... the Brown!!!

Tastes rank (to me) over here too... its an acquired taste... made worse by the loss of S&N Brewery in Newcastle itself!

Bud may not be in this picture...but it should be.

I don't care who owns it, I won't drink it. Maybe because it's a weak lager and I do not care for lagers much - but I really think it's just flavorless swill.

I like Newkie but it's an ale so that probably explains it.

 

[BeardofPants]

Yeah, I like the Newcastle as well. Bud? I only tried once. Nothing working against it. If you like flavourless beer.

what you all are trying to say is "affordable"

 

[tonksy]

Sam Adam's is not much more expensive really....but a damn site more enjoyable to drink.

If you really want affordable... as I understand it, Keystone Light is the beer that's not good enough to be Coors Light, and Natural Light is rejected Bud Light. That stuff is cheaper than Bud/Miller/Coors, etc.

 

[paul_valaru]

I haven't tried it, but it HAS to be real bad or REAL good

 

[Inkara1]

Do they really sell that? Or is that a movie prop for when no company has paid for product placement?

No clue actually, I heard that people who drank beer in the 70's might know it.

They used to at least.

I knew it. Tasted like crap. Generic beer. I wouldn't drink it again with my worst enemies mouth on a million-dollar bet.

 

[tonksy]

Quite the habit!

yes! it's real! my dad has some cans in his collection. they drank it in the airforce, beer was 10 cents and other beverages were 12 cents, lol.

The urban legend is that Keystone is just Coors light cans that have been slightly dented. I would always look for the inevitable dent in the can while filling up my funnels.

too bad SnP isn't around to call some of us beer snobs.
