More Bud or Coors

Dick said it best. American lagers really do hit the spot when that is all you want.

I like either Bud or Coors, depending upon whom I am drinking with. Coors has just a hint of a metallic ring to me, but one that stops far short of unpleasant (which metallic taste is definitely). If forced to make a choice, I will say Bud, since Coors staked themselves to brewing capital with production of uranium fuel pellet "hockey pucks."

Wouldn't ANYTHING "hit the spot" if it's also "all you want"?

Yes. It's a tautology.

For me, when "all I want" is something with little flavor that quenches my thirst, I'll drink water.

Are you recommending a beer that can clean carpet stains? Name, please!

I agree. Water is thirst quenching, but so are American lagers when you want a beer that is not complicated, just wet and with a bit of alcohol.

Don't get me wrong, I once thought that Redhook ESB was awesome. Someone told me that Fuller's would simply blow it away. "Oh yeah, right," I thought. Upon tasting, I had to admit that they were right. For my taste, Samuel Adams Boston Lager never gets old. The Stock Ale that they offer can be better still, but to my taste, it is very inconsistent, going from one of the best to definitely not as good as the Boston Lager, depending upon the batch (or handling, whichever is to blame).

I haven't tried any of the three that you mention. I will have to keep them in mind. I do like Pilsner Urzquel (sp?).

My problem with BudMillerCoors is that, to me, they are NOT refreshing! They are much too sweet, nearly cloyingly so. When I go for light lager (and I do like them well made) I tend to opt for versions from smaller American breweries such as Victory Prima Pils, New Belgium Blue Paddle Pils, and my new favorite Sierra Nevada Summerfest. A nice smack of bitterness that is very refreshing.

Pilsner Urquell. If you like that, seek out Radeberger Pilsner, but the the Victory, NB, and SN beers benefit because of freshness issues; PU and Radeberger have to cross an ocean, while the other three are made domestically.

Thanks for the tips. I shall look for them.

Thanks for the tips. I haven't posted in ages. In the meantime, I had become accustomed to a seeming increasing disdain for bottom posting among emailers.

American beers use rice in the formula. It is something they started doing during a long time ago to make ends meat. They are not real beer as far as I am concerned!

Really? Which ones? What kind of rice? Basmati, Japanese short-grain?

Really? Which meat? Venison, beef, pork? Can you really make meat from beer ends? What is a beer end, anyway?

But you don't matter, as far as I'm concerned. See how this works?

Oh, by the way: you're an idiot. No need to thank me for this valuable information.

This is not new information. The Industrial Light Lagers (Bud, Millers, and Coors) have been adding fillers to their beers for decades. But it's not to make ends meet. It's to minimize the malt taste in their brews so they taste like corn-flavored water.

Some pale lagers do. Some use other adjuncts.

To achieve a specific flavour profile, actually. Which has done rather well for them in the marketplace.

Then you're an idiot.
