    No, unless we are counting BCBS as BMC!

    I used to crave BMC beer. Then I entered a 12 pack, I mean 12 step program and was cured.

    I don't mind something from the InBev lineup every now and then. MillerCoors is just shit, though. Never had one I liked.

    I have never had a craving for BMC. In fact, it was the taste of adjunct lagers that kept me away from beer until I was in my mid-30's, when I discovered craft beer.

    If Old Style counts I crave that at Wrigley Field. I'm going to be pissed if InBev in fact gets them kicked out of Wrigley next season. Old Style has started an online petition to keep it there, where it's been served since 1950. Sign the petition if you agree.

    I wouldn't want a 10% beer at 1pm either, but BMC isn't the only alternative.
    A flavorful craft pilsner or kolsch would do better.

    I'd never refer to Miller Lite as "nice", and "uncomplicated" is simply another way of saying uninteresting.

    One month after the Metropoulos family bought Pabst, C. Dean Metropoulos wrote a memo which included the line:
    ...so, they'd only have themselves to blame for giving AB the idea.

    Of course, the last 3 decades or so has been full of examples of Pabst only having itself to blame...and, conversely, they AREN'T responsible for their one lone notable success - the unexpected revival of the Pabst Blue Ribbon brand.

    I sure do crave it...sometimes I feel like I drink so much Nelson or Pure Hop I can feel and smell the hops oozing out of my pores. So tonight for MNF it will be Bud, Pabst, or High Life. I enjoy it and if I am going to sit on a bar stool for 4 hours I need a low ABV beer that is cheaper...but I often find that I drink them so fast I end up having 7 Buds in the time I would drink 3 or 4 IPAs.

    Not often, but a Narragansett goes down really well sometimes and I have been known to grab a sixer every once in a while, especially with pizza/hot wings.

    I understand that the new ownership of Pabst hasn't done itself any favors. When I read about them wanting to get out of the Wrigley deal a while back I almost abandoned Old Style all together, but it's cold, refreshing, kreusened deliciousness sucked me back in on Opening Day.

    It is an uninteresting beer, it's a light beer I'm not expecting much here. Just somethink ice cold to have with some home made salsa. Not intended for you , but some act as if its poision or an affront to their good taste. If it was only one game and a later start maybe I reach for something else. In the end I just drink what I feel like drinking.

    I don't think I'm ever "in the mood" for a BMC. I don't mind getting a Miller Lite or Mich Ultra on draft, especially if there isn't much else available, but that's more being in the mood for a beer, and taking what's offered, rather than being specifically in the mood for a BMC.

    Michael, I had a California Lager yesterday afternoon as I watched the Eagles game. Two thoughts went through my mind: damn, this beer is so good and why can’t the Eagles defense stop the Chargers on third downs.

    Cheers!

    I crave what are referred to as American Pale Lagers, which BMC could nail but don't try

    Sometimes

    It's just another style of beer, after all.

    Absolutely my friend. (No need to have you tail between your legs...lol) Of course it reminds me of how good an IPA tastes. Of all BMC products, Miller Lite has the most hop flavor. Most pilsners remind me of a stronger Miller Lite.

    Perhaps they can get La Crosse Lager in as a replacement. The "old" Old Style.
