The king of beer mergers

Will patriotic Americans stand by while a foreign brewery chugs down red-white-and-blue Budweiser? Or will they say, good riddance!

    Blinded by beer

    Have any of you ever done a blind taste test of Budweiser against micro-brews of similiar style and really put your tast buds to the test?

    I have a feeling the results may be embarrassing the same way wine snobs who take blind tests are always embarressed.

    I haven't done it personally, I don't drink it because I'm a snob and I'll be the first to admit it. Hnestly until I tried a blind taste test I don't have the confidence to proclaim how bad it is based on anything except for my attempt to escape a certain demographic I associate with Budweiser drinkers.

    After you do that one, you could have a second taste-test between bud-light and fermented gutter-water and see which you prefer!
