Does Shiner count? Otherwise, the last time I had any of the big 3 was a year ago. I was at a PTA function, drunk and they were out of shiner. So I drank a MGD. It really is just water with some alcohol, right?

I put beers like Shiner, Rolling Rock, etc. into what I'll refer to as "Regional beers". Its not a micro brew, and its not nationally marketed like a Sam Adams.

I guess when I started the thread, I wanted to refer to the big 3, but there are some fairly big regional brands as well.

The New Schlitz

Schlitz in the early 1970's, changed the recipe of their beer that had made them the dominant leader of beers from 1900ish-1950ish to a crap version that most everyone is aware of.

quote:

During the reformulating period of the late 1960s and early '70s the original Schlitz formula was lost and never included in any of the subsequent sales of the company. Through research of documents, interviews with former Schlitz brewmasters and taste-testers, the 1960s formula, along with a new television advertising campaign were officially revealed in 2008.


And its freaking good. No wonder my Paw-Paw loved this beer when he was young.

It is my new beer. My standard beer, not my premium beer.

I'm stunned at all the lite beers being listed as favorites. Bottled water does not appeal to me when I want to taste a beer.

Since some of my likely picks have already been ruled ineligible, I'll have to go with Bud. Classic taste.

Michelob is good.

I am an Ultra drinker.

I never got into the silly debate, I like a good dark beer sometimes, sometimes I like an Ultra. A nice cold, light, crisp ultra...out of a ten ounce can, with a coozie too. That ought to send a shiver up the spine of the beer snobs.

I like Miller Lite, and Ultra would come in second for me. Although I don't drink many Bud heavy's, there is nothing quite like a blistering cold Budweiser when your really hot and thirsty...

I've gotten to the point in life that it's just not worth it to me to drink something I don't enjoy just for the sake of drinking. I feel the same way about food. So I'd rather not have any beer at all if my only options are Bud/Miller/Coors. I don't enjoy any of those products, so I'm not going to drink them. I can say the exact same thing about Pizza Hut and McDonalds and Olive Garden.

I do wonder how many of the people here that bash "chain" restaurants are the same ones knocking back a six pack of Miller Lite.

Oh, and for the record, I'm not above some of the products from these brewers. Just this weekend, I had (and enjoyed) a couple of Beach Bum Blonde Ales (Michelob). And I'm happy to drink a Blue Moon (Coors) every now and then.

Shiner is marketed and sold in 41 states. That is more than a regional beer.

But what is the difference to someone in Texas where Shiner is at any bar or restaurant you go into?....Anyplace you'll find Bud, etc. you'll find shiner. that's a mass market beer to me.

Then they won't mind if I call them hypocritical. Because Miller Lite is the Pizza Hut of beer. Mass produced garbage.
