New amber lager coming tomorow from Budweiser/InBev.
It is the "winner" of the Project 12 competition. From the brewmaster in LA. It was the red labeled one in the 12 pack. Was delicious, nice to see it released.

I've seen it in stores for about a week now (they must have pre-released in some markets/regions if tomorrow was their date). Would have preferred to see it released at the price point of their normal Bud products, but I knew that was never going to happen.
It was a good one in the taster pack, though.

Please dont buy this stuff from Budweiser. Craft beer is much better, support American.

I know Bigdogg said support American but my issue with InBev products isn't that they aren't American (because many of them are made in the US) but that they are largely poor products and they use business practices I'm not a fan of. There's plenty of smaller more local breweries that make delicious beers in a vast variety of styles so I don't get why some people never purchase outside the macro brewery offerings. I mean, even if your beer tastes only involve lagers or pilsners there are tons of craft breweries which make excellent products. Sort of baffles me. To each their own I guess.Emmett Brown;1370681 wrote:I know it is a foreign company but that beer is made in Columbus, how is that not American?

$12.49 a twelve pack isn't much cheaper than a lot of micros.ernest_t_bass;1370759 wrote:Price.
And either way, I was talking about people that never purchase outside of the macros. Not people that mostly purchase macros and sometimes try other things.

I should clarify that I mostly meant within the beer industry not that they're a particularly corrupt industry compared to a lot of them. But the macros support laws that make it very difficult for smaller breweries and new competition to open and distribute their products.Pick6;1370766 wrote:what are the business practices you arent a fan of?
As far as things that aren't corrupt or anything that I don't like we can move on to the marketing. The macros don't market their product on the merits of it's taste or quality but on silly things like "coldness". They found that it's more effective to sell this way (and it's really a brilliant bit of marketing but as a brewer and someone who loves beer I don't like it but again it's not that they're doing anything morally objectionable in this regard).

As a brewer? LOL. Sorry but buying some beer kit and fermenting hops doesn't make you a brewer. I love beer too, and I love Bud Light. Sounds like someone has been subjected to marketing from the "micros" and is to arrogant to realize it.I Wear Pants;1370772 wrote:I should clarify that I mostly meant within the beer industry not that they're a particularly corrupt industry compared to a lot of them.

I knew this thread would bring out the beer snobs who create this self-proclaimed elitism by dreaming up beers no one has heard of and pretends they are better than other beers. Here's a hint, no one cares.

You don't know the answer to this?I Wear Pants;1370755 wrote: so I don't get why some people never purchase outside the macro brewery offerings.
Cost, consistency, and availability. Can you purchase a 30 can cube from these little breweries and hammer those boys down with a plastic funnel and clear tubing?

$6.00 a beer for a Bud Light...Nuff said. I for one would never pay $6.00 for a Bud Light. Dudes saw you coming and you deserved to pay double. I'm just hoping it was very cold as the Coors Light you didn't drink.sleeper;1370779 wrote:I think they are fantastic. Prove me wrong. LOL

Budweiser just recently changed their recipe to using broken rice which is cheaper and produces a lower quality product. Well documented corner cut, while increasing the price.

My price point for bud light is free if it is very hot and no water is available.
