Head for the Mountains! Bust my balls all you want.

A neighbor of mine is all about Busch Beer. He's always drinking it. I haven't had it since college which was the beer of choice back then. So recently I bought a 12 pack for like 8 bucks and it's actually not bad. No worse than Bud Light or Miller Lite which I have no problem drinking either. I'm no beer snob, and yes I've had plenty of good beers so I know what the differences are. The shwag beer is kept on the lowest shelf in the beer fridge in the basement which is set to keep beer at barely above the freezing level.

Ice cold shwag! Yum! :beer:

Busch bar bottles were the beer of choice in college. I don't really remember what it tastes like ...

Yeah Busch is pretty good for cheap beer. I'll drink almost any beer with no complaints.

We used to drink this crap in college. Dirt cheap and really got you drunk. I tried one about 3 years ago and it was the worst beer I've ever had.

Bush Light = Miller Lite = Bud Light

If I'm not already drunk, I'd rather spend the extra $0.50 for a good beer.

Since Root is still in diet mode, Root would rather consume the 118 calories in a Blackbeary wheat opposed to what ever the calories are in crap beer, that Root thinks taste like flavored water anyway.
















Did ya catch that...Root did a Wa-Loaf :lol:

When I want swill, I want PBR. For whatever reason, I seek out PBR cans for on-beach drinking each summer in Carolina.

I'm also pretty fond of Coors these days. I often walk over to the brewery for the "short tour" I will drink any beer that is free. PBR is good swill too.

Haven't had Busch Beer for a long long long time..... I think since high school. For this thread I am going to go out and get some and see what my taste buds say now!

Another schwill beer we had in college was Glacier Bay....... WORST hangover you can have by beer.

Ugh. Our college beer was Natty Light, $7.99 a case in the mid-90's. Bottles, which always made it taste somewhat tolerable.

Our college rotgut in the 60's was Stegmaier, Gibbons or Bartels -- you could get the added benefit of cleaning rusty car parts with this swill :D:D

Busch Light Draft (aka BLD) was our college swill. $10/case at the time, it was so prevalent it became a unit of exchange- in deciding to do just about anything, its cost was measured in cases of BLD.

I was sitting in a bar yesterday afternoon enjoying a Unibroue Maudite on tap (okay, 2), when three folks came in and ordered a Miller Lite, a Budweiser, and a Bud Light. It got me thinking, I don't remmeber the last itme I had any one of those three. Seriously, I have no clue.

Not a beer snob (well, maybe a little), but I would much rather pay a little extra for something that's interesting. With better beer, you can taste what the brewer was thinking about, what he (or she) wanted it to taste like. With the mass-produced brews, you can really taste what the accountants were thinking about.
