Not a snob, but...no. Water or iced tea would be fine for me at that point. I think the only time I've ever enjoyed a Bud was when landscaping as a teen, and a homeowner brought out some cold ones in the height of summer. THAT was a godsend.Originally Posted by mikebake
I did like Bud's organic brew Wild Hops, though, it was pretty damn good.

The key to Bud is that it is affordable, although I don't buy it any more.
It was our high school beer of choice in the early 70's. The Bud distributor sold us 15 gal kegs for $35, and would take ski boots, skis, or even someone's car stereo as a deposit for the keg and taps. Very friendly fellow.
After picking up the keg, we'd swing by the local Arctic Circle drive in and pick up a box of 100 sixteen ounce cups and head for one of the local canyons!
Big fun in the fresh air! A good stress reliver after a long week of school.
BTW, at that time my Dad was running field coil Lansing Iconics driven by Marantz 9's. My buddies dad ran Hartsfields driven by 9's as well. Another buddy's dad ran an all Mac system, which didn't sound nearly as good. It was argueably the prettiest though.
For acoustic musical instruments, I really liked the Iconics the best. However for Jimi Hendrix and Zep, the Hartsfields ruled, no doubt.
wikipedia on the original budweiser:
link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BudweiserSince the 19th century, Budweiser (like Pilsener from Pilsen (Plzeň)) became a synonym for a style of beer. This led in 1907 to the "Budweiser trademark dispute" between beer companies owning or claiming trademarks rights:
* Budweiser Bier Bürgerbräu, founded 1795 by German-speaking citizens of Budweis, was exporting Budweiser Bier to America since 1875. The company was expropriated by the communists in 1945 and changed names, but after the fall of communism reacquired old naming rights in the 1990s
* Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch), from Anheuser-Busch in the United States, has been marketed since the 1870s as "Budweiser" in United States and Canada
* Budweiser Budvar, a brewery founded in 1895 mainly by Czech-speaking citizens of Budweis (České Budějovice)
when i was still into beer i really enjoyed the ol' budvar. very refreshing and colourful.

I remember stumbling upon them in a French grocery store years ago while there still was a Checkloslovakia... at that time the name Budweiser was in small print on the label along with Budvar in bold type.

Dudes, who said anything about BUD It's BUD LIGHT! The trailer plainly says BUD LIGHT on it.
Last night a buddy brought out some Red Stripe. It's the best beer bottle ever.
Joke right????
Hmmm... I guess you are a light beer fan. For me, if the sun can pass through it I am not interested.

No, I don't mean the beer in Red Stripe, I'm talking about the bottle.

My boss pointed out last night that the Red Stripe bottle is the perfect size/weight/shape for a beer bottle.
Talk about a hijacked thread.
I still support my (once) local brewery. I drank Busch until Bud Light was introduced in the early 80's. Now I drink Budweiser Select.
Now we're talking.
there was a time that I thot if cut, I'd bleed either San Miguel or ba muoi ba (33). -back in the old irresponsible days
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles

LOL, you ain't jokin, how could a topic like Pro Sound At Home turn into beer speak?
Cool lookin Vettes dudes.
RIGGED
Beer's more interesting?
I guess, if you drink enough beer even some Cabarets can sound good as hi-fi speakers.
