    After all these years of being away from it, I have to admit that, this one finally has me AB curious.

    But the press release clearly said "the first and only copper lager in the category". Anheuser-Busch wouldn't lie to me.

    The other beers named by "JackHorzempa " aren't in the "value" category (to use AB's terminology) - aka "below premium" "economy" "popular-priced". They're all considered "Premium" or even "Above/Super Premium" category brands.

    I want them to rewrite this and try not to use the word signature. That would be a challenge.

    I thought those were the same thing - are the 24ozers the tallboys? p.s. it's not beer, but there's an AB hard cider coming soon that's actually really good. Again - it's not beer. Probably why it's good.

    If I see this on the way to the train, I'll give it a try.

    That's the way it was originally when Schlitz came out with the first 24 oz. cans in the 1950s.

    I don't see this as craft pseudo one bit. Further as someone who doesn't give a fuck I don't give a fuck wjSt
    if you think that is true then you should pay more attention to where the growth is in the beer market. Busch will never go up against craft. It's going up against a trend in macro lagers.

    BIG fan of the 60's formula Schlitz gusto it takes some digging to find these great tall boy's the original, but worth the hunt.

    LMAO at slightly-more-special occasion...when is that, exactly? After the sinus infection clears up?? I'm reminded of the Bonnie Situation from Pulp Fiction ala "Bonnie buys shit. I buy the good stuff because I wanna taste it.":wink:

    I know Miller is putting one out, Smith and Forge or something. The packaging looks really cool, I'll say that. Is that what you're talking about or is there another?

    um. why is this not in PA? Busch is one of my go to "garbage" beer and to me is better than BUD or PBR

    It is bad enough they release their first new brew in 15 years...it is not good...and then they tell me when to drink it.
