I'd drink Bud Light before the dust-up, but it would probably be the last choice if other stated options were available. What's with the judgey "horrible taste" take? The product sold well because people bought it in large numbers for consumption. What's next, you guys trash talk some poor guy enjoying a Kit Kat because you prefer your fancy Cadbury Caramilk or Aero candy bar? I'm over here enjoying a Kit Kat, contemplating a Coors Light later and..well, I'm listening to ABBA. There, I said it. ABBA. I have no plans to go out and buy some craft beer made in the 'brewery' of some dopey real estate attorney/brewmaster, knowing full well the 'brewery' is his moldy basement and his kids likely dropped some snot-laced Leggo into his swill when the babysitter wasn't paying attention. Go to h3ll, the both of you. Expand Yes, if you drink Coors Light and eat KitKats and listen to ABBA, I am judging you. It’s just facts that those Big Beers and candies like KitKats are very chemically processed. What’s also funny is you’re making a point against yourself when you’re talking about who is making these beers, as if normal everyday people creating local microbrews is somehow worse than large conglomerate businesses who mass-produce them. Many , obviously not all, of those contain much better ingredients and are more flavorful and are made by people who love beer. You’re free to enjoy your pisswater and fillers with 10% chocolate candy as you have and I’m free to judge you for it as I have, the same way I would if someone willingly chose Oscar Meyer dogs over Sahlens or Zweigles.

That’s something. On the other hand, you present as a craft beer zealot, probably just a couple IPAs away from lopping off the head(s) of non-believers crushing silver bullets. This is a dilemma.

BillsFanNC Posted July 15, 2023 Author Posted July 15, 2023 I'm a home brewer and craft beer enthusiast. Isn't it obvious that all adjunct rice/corn macro lagers are what they are? Cheap *****. How the hell did one, and only one, of the many big beer conglomerates who brew ***** beer using woke trans marketing become about craft beer? Oh that's right. Deflection.
