wiegie Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 So the other day I had some friends over and I offered them some beer. I had a fairly wide selection of about 12 different types of beer so they were trying to figure out what they wanted to drink. One of the guys was somewhat disappointed when he saw that I didn't have any Bud Light, but he kept looking in the fridge and found a six pack of Bell's Oberon. He asked me what type of beer it was and I told him it was a wheat-based ale. His eyes got all excited and he asked me hopefully, "Is it like a Bud Light Wheat?" :sigh: (For the record, to shut him up, I just said "yes" and he happily drank the beer for the rest of the night.)

Next time offer him warm piss in a glass. That would be the closest substitute for Bud Light Wheat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) there's folks that aren't beer snobs and you have to respect that. Oberon is like BLW, only better. Edited September 30, 2010 by loaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkirc Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I have two guys I hang out with that will only drink Bud Light. Nothing else! It drives me crazy. I had a full fridge of various brews (Sierra Nevada, Bass, Harp, and even Coors Light). Rather than drink any of those, they drove to the store to get more BL. I don't get it.

driveby Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Beers like Bud Lite have their place. If I'm at a party or a bar and just want to pound a few Bud Lite will do just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puddy Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) The goal is to get them to try good beer. If that takes telling them it is similar to Bud Light Wheat then so be it. I sometimes bust my Bud Light friends balls about the beer they drink but then realize I just sound like a jerk when I do that.

No2011Lockout Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I am just gonna throw it out there... Bud Light and Fried Pig Skins really can't be beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheikYerbuti Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 One of my favorite things at work is when someone asks the waitress "What beers do you have?" "Heineken, Yuengling, Guinness, Corona, and Bud Light" "Great! I'll have a Bud Light!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Save money. Always have some cheap swill beer on hand for the cretans. Give then a Bud Light and sit them down in front of a DVD of a continous 20 minute loop of Gieco Caveman commercials. Problem with that is, they will come back, because it's the most fun they ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiegie Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 let's be clear here, I'll drink pretty much any beer from time to time and I don't mind Bud Light at all. What was noteworthy to me about this story is that the guy pretty much refused to drink any beer other than Bud Light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy_22 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Bud produces a MUCH better light beer than Bud Light - It's Bud Select. Good stuff w/o the aftertaste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Cretans is plural for cretin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
untateve Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Cretans is plural for cretin. This is incorrect. Cretans is a plural for Cretan, a native or inhabitant of Crete. Cretins is the plural for cretin, a word of French dialect. It is defined as a person with cretinism and the slang definition of cretin is idiot. Are you saying that you serve individuals who originate from Crete "cheap swill beer?' Why don't you like Cretans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWmaker Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I'm saying it isn't my fault the dictionary spelled it wrong. I'm quite sure that the dictionary spelled it "it". Further, I'm sure that the dictionary spelled only one word wrong. "wrong" I need a beer. NOW. It can even be a Bud Light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to figure out which one of those is the beer I'd actually choose. Bud produces a MUCH better light beer than Bud Light - It's Bud Select. Good stuff w/o the aftertaste. When the beer is actually tasty, aftertaste is not a bad thing. Then it's called "the finish" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Really? You'd say Guinness and Bud Light are equivalent? No, actually that would be the one beer of that mix that I don't mind. Not that I think it's very good, but it is certainly a cut above the rest mentioned. That said, I'm either in the mood for a stout or I'm not. So it's not like I'm going to consider it an option all the time. I understand there's some love for Yuengling, but I've never liked it at all.

SEC=UGA Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) Beers in my fridge. Miller Lite Guinness Tecate Corsendonk Brown Ale When I get home tonight, I'll drink a Miller Lite. This weekend I'll drink a Miller Lite. When I wanna get a buzz at a bar watching football, I'll drink a Miller Lite. When I'm sitting down at dinner with a pot roast I'll Drink a Guinness or Corsendonk. But, for the most part, I'm drinking Miller Lite. I'm not a big fan of beer and it will be a cold day in Amsterdam before you catch me with a Heineken in my hand... I have a buddy of mine, he's on here occasionally, who used to drink exclusively Miller Lite, too. Now I go over to his house and he has Sam Adams, Land Shark, Red Stripe, Heineken, etc... No Miller Lite, I'm like dude, Hey, Jude !?!?!?!!?!?! So I don't go over there that often anymore.... actually come to think of it, I'm not invited that often anymore.
