    To be sure, it definitely is better than all the other BMC light lagers. (probably has something to do with the fact that it isn't a light lager) It's just funny because my cousin cares nothing about its taste. He only buys it because of the most interesting man in the world commercials.

    And way to not be a cheap fuck! Cheers!

    Friend: What are you doing this afternoon?
    Me: I have to go up to greensboro to get some beers (Hill Farmstead-about an hour and 15 mins away)
    Friend: You have to go to greensboro to get beer? You know they sell it at the corner store, right?

    He was kinda kidding, but kinda serious at the same time. I guess it could be worse, he drinks Sierra Nevada and other available craft beers, but doesn't care to seek out anything that's difficult to obtain.

    Majority of my buddies are BMC to the core. I had a buddy come over to my place once, reach in my fridge and grab a two hearted ale. He cracked it open, took a swallow and was disgusted. He told me my beer had soured and was on the was to the sink to poor it out when i stopped him dead in his tracks. Needless to say he brought his own BL from then on. I do have on guy I made friends with recently, who didn't drink anything at all. I had an old Rasputin and Hopping Frog in the fridge and he tasted them both and loved them. I turned they guy into a craft lover and now he comes to my house at least twice a week with 6 packs of decent stuff.

    Back in January, my girlfriend at the time was always saying that she liked Coors Light best of the big three, and couldn't drink any of the others. She wasn't exactly a BMC person, as I had introduced her to some beers she liked, but she wasn't even close to being "into" beer, either. So, based on her Coors Light statement, I reasoned that, if she blind tasted the big three light beers, she probably wouldn't be able to pick out Coors Light. I also argued that, because they are so bland and homogenous, that I wouldn't be able to, either.

    So, one day I poured all three into different cups and handed each to her to sample. I don't remember the order of the beers, but I remember Coors Light was #3. She sipped all of them, and said "I can't tell which is Coors Light, but #3 is definitely my least favorite." Eliminating #3, she sipped the other two again and eventually said she liked Miller Lite the best. She was very surprised when I revealed the results, and I have no idea how I kept a straight face when she eliminated #3 immediately.

    Then it was my turn, she gave all three to me in a different order. To my surprise, I disproved half of my original hypothesis by naming which of the blind samples was which beer after only one sip. I learned that day that all are weak on flavor, but Coors Light is the sweetest, Miller Lite has a faint hop flavor, and Bud Light is the wateriest.

    I turned one of my bmc friends on to craft. Now he's pissed that he can't buy a 18 pack for fifteen bucks anymore, but refuses to drink the swill.

    Ha! You would love my cousin. He posts his beer drinking on Facebook like it's LNBA, except it's always Bud Light. Always.

    I'm particularly fond of when one BMC friend starts to bad-mouth another BMC beer that another friend drinks (i.e. he drinks bud lite and judges those who drink coors)

    The arguments that arise from that are hilarious, especially when they start using those infamous terms like "triple-hopped" or bring calories into the mix.

    I think it rather shows how "easy" some people are ... as well as ignorant.

    (That was my point.) I defer to my original statement.

    This. All the way. I've been told cuz at a bar you're paying for the "atmosphere"/experience". Didn't make sense to me.

    I think I'm much more tolerant than most people on this board, lol. I have BMC friends, but I don't try to convert or educate them about craft beer... they've had craft beer (if you live in an urban area, everyone has had it pretty much) and made their own decision about what they like. I'm not so stuffy as to turn down a Victoria (which one of my friends drinks religiously) or Bud Light at a friends' house either... I always keep Shiner Bock around for guests as well (and myself), which everyone loves BMC or craft-minded alike (just like Yuengling was on the East Coast).

    Southern hospitality, I guess. :slight_smile:

    I did laugh when I was at a bar in Miami last week with my dad and Bud Light was $6 and Bell's Two Hearted was $7. For serious? lol.

    I once went to a bar with a friend who don't actually drink anything. So we started drinking and after two bud light he was going "dude, I'm d-runk, to-tally d-runk". I was just happy drinking my Hop Stoopid and because I was seeing him, finally, (a little) drunk, but, seriously? drunk after two bud light? It's sad actually.

    If you think you're a good guest because you leave Dos Equis in the fridge, maybe you should think a little harder.

    One time I tried to share my homebrew with some buddies. Then we all got smart and went to BDubs and drank ice-cold Bud Lights!
