Americans and Budweiser don't mix!

One of the most gloriously tacky beer gifts ever! Click to see more the UNOB beer gifts HQ.

Americans and Budweiser go together like Australians and jokes about wallabies.

I must say. It gets quite tiring having to put up with Australians telling me that I don't know my beer/can't handle my beer just because they all assume America only has Budweiser.

My first response back to them, "Ok! Fosters!" To which they get their feelings hurt and tell me that Australians do not drink Fosters.

I have to explain to them that just because America has Budweiser on TV and it sponsors the living hell out of things, it doesn't mean all of America drinks it.

America is a mecca of Microbreweries and Homebrewers. We love our beer and all alcohol as a matter of fact. Our people did not descend from the mighty drunks of Europe to have crap beer!

Nicknames for Budweiser:
Piss Beer
Water Beer
Soda Beer

It is true that Budweiser does taste like an overly carbonated, watered down beer. I can not even imagine myself drinking a can or bottle, let alone a whole carton/slab.

The closest I have got was by having a night of drinking XXXX Gold beer (which is a mid-strength beer) here in Australia and found myself puking, not from being too drunk but because my system just couldn't handle it. There is just something wrong with lower-strength beer.

So, to all those Americans out there planning on travel outside of the United States, come prepared with a Beer Magazine, an empty belly to out drink your competitor and your defence armour up! It's time to show the world that Americans Do Not Drink Budweiser!

BUD
by: Justin

Dogfish is great, but at $12 a 6 pack ($12 4/pck of 90 min IPA).
3 Floyds is awesome, but at $12 a 6 pack.
Bud is the best median, $18 for a case. You can knock it all you want, but I will still drink it.
Be a beer snob, it's your pocket book not mine.

Thanks for the information man
by: I <3 Kokanee

Thanks for settling this disturbing assumption held by Canadians.

Honestly, we think you Americans have the worst beer. Coors Light is for pussies, Miller has a nasty aftertaste, and Budweiser is piss in a can.

Or at least we did until I read this article. Thank you for informing us of your higher quality beers, I knew they existed but the marketing campaigns that plague American programming would have me believe you drink nothing but Bud, Coors and Miller.

P.S. If you are drinking anything imported from Canada, go for anything by Labatt: KOKANEE in NW USA, LABATT BLUE in NE USA, and whatever you can get in the midwest.
