You wanna know what don't make no damn sense? (AKA: Beer prices in DC suck.)
I'll tell ya what don't make no sense: that a 6-pack of Budweiser sells for the same price as a 12-pack of Milwaukee's Best, yet Milwaukee's Best tastes better. Plus Icehouse sells for $16 a 30, while every light beer is at least $20 a 30.
Damn Yankees got no sense.

You crazy, man. The only thing Milwaukee's Best tastes better than is Nasty Ice.

Apparently I'm not drinking the same Budweiser as everyone else, but the crap I drank once had no flavor except some bitterness and a hint of chemical aftertaste. At least Milwaukee's Best actually tastes like beer.

I'm just telling you what I drank. It's not my fault if Budweiser is worse than Milwaukee's Best.

To be honest I was just drunk and posting random things at you... I've never tried either and I never plan on it.

Anyway, what's the price of Stella in the US compared to your local stuff? I heard some stories about all Belgian beers being really expensive at the US.

Re: You wanna know what don't make no damn sense? (AKA: Beer prices in DC suck.)
It's about $7 a six pack where I live, sometimes closer to $6.
I always thought Budweiser and Milwaukee's Best were both about equally terrible.

I just paid $6 a six pack for Stella at Walmart. I really like Sam Adams variety of beers. Their Summer Ale is very like Stella. Cream Stout, Brown Ale and Black Lager are also good.

Why don't you spare your taste buds and drink something imported?

Budweiser is probably my favorite beer...there's a reason it's so popular you know, it's **** tasty!
Re: You wanna know what don't make no damn sense? (AKA: Beer prices in DC suck.)
But what about the beer you were reffering to?I'll tell ya what don't make no sense: that a 6-pack of Budweiser sells for the same price as a 12-pack of Milwaukee's Best, yet Milwaukee's Best tastes better. Plus Icehouse sells for $16 a 30, while every light beer is at least $20 a 30.

Where you at, Rev? Although Bud is a national brand, it's brewed, bottled and distributed locally (L.A. in my case). Maybe your local Bud brewer got some bad water?I'll tell ya what don't make no sense: that a 6-pack of Budweiser sells for the same price as a 12-pack of Milwaukee's Best, yet Milwaukee's Best tastes better.

-edit-
and yeah, the price of a 30-pack can vary store-to-store, and week-to-week, from $16 to $25. Same as Miller, Coors, MilBest, etc.

Well, the best Budweiser isn't the American version by far.
You need to heck out the ancient and delicious Czech beer by the same name.
Really, it's the beer American Budweiser was named after.

Re: You wanna know what don't make no damn sense? (AKA: Beer prices in DC suck.)
Beast, as we call it here at school, is much worse than Budweiser. I don't know how you can even drink that stuff. I couldn't even shotgun (google if you are not sure) a beast it tasted so horrible.I'll tell ya what don't make no sense: that a 6-pack of Budweiser sells for the same price as a 12-pack of Milwaukee's Best, yet Milwaukee's Best tastes better.

It's just Miller Genuine Draft, packed cheaper, with zero marketing budget.

Re: You wanna know what don't make no damn sense? (AKA: Beer prices in DC suck.)
The Czech version is sold under the name Budvar. I prefer the dark version.

Shiner or Zeigen Bock.

I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: You wanna know what don't make no damn sense? (AKA: Beer prices in DC suck.)
Beast is what got me through college. IIRC, Beast Light had more alcohol and tasted a little better than standard Beast. After one or two, the you won't even notice the taste.
Never been a fan of Bud, the aftertaste, hangover, and day-after toilet issues killed it for me. The aftertaste is due to the cans I believe, I don't notice it as much with bottled Bud. If you are on a budget, stick with Beast.
@ Kukri: I never knew Beast was "generic" MGD, interesting.

Re: You wanna know what don't make no damn sense? (AKA: Beer prices in DC suck.)
I found out last night that the Beast "Ice" costs the same and has more alcohol.
Re: You wanna know what don't make no damn sense? (AKA: Beer prices in DC suck.)
Full Disclosure: I'm not a beer chemist, nor a brewer or bottler. That info came to me via the local Miller/Bud/Coors distributor a couple years ago, back when I'd spend my free afternoons at Akiko's Bar and Grill, instead of here. We ran a few (quite a few) blind taste tests at the bar, and the results held up: un-labelled, guys couldn't tell the difference. So 'expert' testimony + experiment = assumption of truth. *hic*

Re: You wanna know what don't make no damn sense? (AKA: Beer prices in DC suck.)
Just why the hell would you think I don't know what shotgunning is?
And for your information, I drink it normally. I don't need to shotgun my Beast because I'm not a wuss.
Re: You wanna know what don't make no damn sense? (AKA: Beer prices in DC suck.)
Beast Ice came out about a year after I graduated. I could afford better at the time, but got together with some college drinking buddies soon after and tried it out. Not too bad, considering.I found out last night that the Beast "Ice" costs the same and has more alcohol.

Re: You wanna know what don't make no damn sense? (AKA: Beer prices in DC suck.)
If I were forced to drink something like that or Budweiser I'd probably do it as quickly as possible and follow with something better to get rid of the aftertaste, and not because I thought the flavor was too strong...
I imagine there are probably things I like that would elicit the same reaction from some of the members here, though.

I was referring to everyone on this board. You are college student who drinks, right? I'd punch you in the face if you didn't know what shotgunning a beer meant.
It's not about being a wuss. That cheap crap is vile.And for your information, I drink it normally. I don't need to shotgun my Beast because I'm not a wuss.
By the way, I take shots of 11 dollar per gallon vodka with no chaser. I bring this up because it seems I have to prove my manly drinking abilities to you.
