Budweiser Ale

HailHailVitalogy

Every couple of days I get a new 6 pack to try.

I got it tonight once I finished studying for my finals. It tastes like if Keystone made an ale...its bad.

I had Sam Adams Irish Red, liked that a lot. Tried Sapporo the other day...but the winner of the week is Pete's Wicked Ale

Before that I was on a Newcastle streak.

Seriously, though, I haven't tried it, but I can't stand Newcastle. I'm on a Rolling Rock kick myself right now.

winter lager, magic hat 9, magic hat seasonal as of late..and i didnt think the american ale was that bad to be honest.

Pete's Wicked Ale is my absolute favorite. Near impossible to find here on LI. The Strawberry Blonde is awesome. I'll have to look for Sam Adams Red. I love red beers, but have neevr seen the Sam Adams Red

They were sampling this at a local bar the other day. I thought it tasted as if they made a grocery-store generic brand of Red Hook. Once again, the big brewers think they're being hip and micro, and just fall flat on thier face. Give it up already!

I had Rogue Hazelnut Brown Ale the other night.. I thought it was really good..
I'm heading to Colorado next monday, and I'm really looking forward to getting to Oskar Blues and also getting some Fat Tire.. If there is anyone from Colo. that could recommend some other good beer stops, I would appreciate it..

right...like when Bud came out with the American Ale right after the foreign take over was announced.

Quick trivia question---what is currently the largest American owned and operated brewery?

I'd say Yeungling or Sam Adams probably.

yup, it's Sam Adams

New CAstle is the most delicious liquid ever.

Sam Adams Irish Red is not one of my favorites. Its like there is sweetness added and it ends up tasting swilly. I can usually find words to describe how I feel about beers, but I'm at a loss to describe what I don't like about this one. I really like most Sam Adams beers, but not this one. Oh, and their hefinwiezen is possibly one of the worst beers I've ever had.

And on the American Ale, Bravo: you did an excellent job of desribing it. Not a quality beer, not a quality ale at all. But I'll bet it will out sell plenty because its budwieser.

If you don't like New Castle, but do like Rolling Rock, you're on the complete other side of the spectrum as me. Rolling Rock isn't bad; its a quality lager, kinda light. New Castle is heaven.

Someone mentioned Fat Tire. I've decided I like everything I've tried from the New Belguim Brewing Co.
I've also found that I don't like anything from the Sierra Nevada Beers.

Tried the Fuller's 1845 tonight, excellent. I'm really loving all the Fuller's beers.

Your first problem was buying Budweiser. What sort of selection do you have over there? If there's a lot of international stuff to choose from, the English make the best ales, the Germans make the best Lagers and Weissbiers. Polish and Czech Lager is pretty good too. I'm not much of a stout drinker but I know that there's a coupleof Irish ones that are well regarded.

I don't like Bud, but I do like the new American Ale. It was a lot better then I thought it would be. It kind of reminds me of a Redhook ESB . . . kind of.

I hate Bud. I pretty much only drink IPA's, although I like Belgians and Stouts too. I had the Bud Ale. It was much much better than I thought it would be, and wasn't overly carbonated like Bud. To me, it tasted like a mix between Yuengling and Sam Adams. It's decent. Better though, I didn't get the Bud Mud the next day.

I completely disagree that Germans make the best lagers and white beers. I haven't tried Polish lagers yet. The Czech ones are good, but some of them are pure piss, like Heineken.

Maybe I'm a little biased but Belgium truly makes the best beers (lagers and white beers and special beers).

if you can find Fuller's Porter on tap, it's amazing

Anybody from new england going to the extreme beer fest in boston? Dogfish and the two brothers who are putting on the fest teamed up together to make a new brew only available at the fest...can't wait to try it

All budweiser is bad. I'll only drink it as a last resort!

I've been on a Samuel Smith's kick lately. Oatmeal Stout...mmm...

My brewer pal said that he'd have to try this Bud Ale just to see what all they fucked up.
