Presidential Miller Time

[mondeo]

Props to Crowley for best taste. Gates gets honorable mention with an acceptable light beer.

And once again, Biden is the joke. Non-alcoholic? To echo Marc, srsly?

When I'm full from drinking too much good beer, I'll reach for a Bud Light Lime! It's like Beer-soda!

I've never tried BLL. I'll put this on my to-drink list.

It's actually quite refreshing. Goes great with golf!

I don't golf, but will give it a try!

But.....

How was Wilco?

Good, until it began to pour and the concert abruptly ended. Leaving the stadium was ridiculous....not enough exits.

The opening band was good, but they played way too long.

+ 1.

At least he did not have his foot in his mouth for once....

Anyone else feel bad for Crowley being there in my opinion WAY WAY out of his element? I know if I was sititng with those 3 I would probably go through a 6 pack by the time it took them to finish their 1 beer. Kind of like being at a party where there is nobody you want to talk to.

That's probably why he chose to drink what he did. It was the beer that tastest most like his foot.

has anyone really stopped drinking Bud/Bud Light/Bud Light Lime (ha ahahah) etc. just 'cause the ultimate owner of the company is belgian (instead of red, white and blue american)?

It is probably ironic that there are most likely a significant amount of Bud drinkers out there that probably drink it because it is the quintessential American beer (says something about something, I guess...) and they probably have no idea about ABV.

Or that the real, original Budweiser has actual flavor.

I think it was great! I'd have a beer with the president on the Whitehouse lawn any day...

Nobody drank Miller, but it's interesting that Gates is the only one who actually drank an American beer. No political signifigance, but a comment on the state of "American" businesses.

"The president was drinking Bud Light, Biden was drinking Buckler (a nonalcoholic beer), Gates was drinking Samuel Adams Light and Crowley was drinking Blue Moon."

Bud Light: Brewed by AB-InBev, a Belgian company now.
Buckler: Brewed by Heineken
Blue Moon: Brewed by Molson Coors, a Canadian company.
Sam Adams: Brewed by Boston Beer Company, the largest American brewer now.

Really, saying Bud is an American beer is like saying a Honda made in Tennessee is an American car.

The state of American buisness is pretty sad.
All the True Ski Bums know it's all about the PBR.

I tried a BLL tonight...I'm not a fan. Maybe after a 3 hour mountain bike ride when it's over 100*F, but then anything cold would be refreshing.

In honor of this thread, I picked up this t-shirt this evening while walking around at the Blueberry Festival downtown stroll event in Wilmington, VT

I'm thinking that I need to doctor it up a bit with a piece of duct tape replacing maybe crap with GREAT! or instead of life IS crap, maybe life ISN'T crap!

Probably just give it to my father in law whose a big bud fan

I have two "life is crap" shirts.

While not at all reflective of my attitude on life, I get a lot of comments when I wear them out in public.

Brian's mom gave him this one:

I can relate to that one.

 

[drjeff]

This is probably my favorite of the 5 (if I keep the Bud shirt) crappy shirts that I have

with this one being a VERY close 2nd
