Anheusuer/Inbev Bud Light * *
Yes I drink Bud Light. It is like a dirty sin for true craft and micro brewery drinkers. I feel bad giving it press. I have heard some nasty things said about the AB products recently. With all the negativety put aside. I guess you could say I grew up on Bud Light meaning my first legal drink was a Bud Light. I was a Bud Light drinker till I learned about the wonders of microbrews. This bud light was free thanks to some friends that came over this weekend, but I would buy a bud light if I had to if a local brew was not available. Some bars all they have on draft is bud light. So it really makes it 3 stars but I didn't feel right doing that so i gave it a 2 stars. Bud is easy to drink and tasty, however after drinking this beer and then going to drink Schafly or Boulevard you see how void of taste and body it is. I have drank it many many times, for example at the many Cardinal games I have gone to where that is the most prominant beer on tap. It is really a shame what happened to AB with the
Inbev purchase. I really try to support local brewries which sadly AB is not truly any longer. They are a giant brewry owned by foreign company Inbev. Yes there are St. Louis employees. Yes the beer was brewed and bottled in St. Louis. I am torn about this being from St. Louis and I am not trying to sound like a beer snob. I think as you can see from some of the beers I have tried and will continue to try I will try anything. However I believe in supporting good local companies like Schlafly and Boulevard. More thoughts to come on this topic. I am sure you all have some opinions so feel free to share them. Thanks
