Rolling Rock

Strapped for cash and restrained by local choices, I bought a six pack yesterday. This beer has little to no taste. The only thing I really "taste" is carbonation. Why is this beer so trendy?! Mike

Rolling Rock is still trendy? Gee, I thought that was around 1985...

As to it having little to no taste and yet is still popular in some circles, recall that 3 of the top 4 selling beers in country are Bud Light, Miller Lite and Coors Light.

Blech! I'd rather drink iced tea.

It has a cute and memorable name and Yuppees care more about image than quality.

It's all about conspicuous consumption for them. Everyone's heard of Rolling Rock but few know how pathetic it really is. A nice way for a gutless Yuppee to convey image without risk.

The same reason companies like McDonald's and Budweiser do very well. People value things other than taste.

Well, I've tried hundreds of beers, ranging from Pilsners to Ales, Stouts and on and on and Bud is my favorite. So call me trailer trash.

So what flavor characteristics do you like about Bud, and dislike in other beers? Oh, and "smooth", "cold", and "cool label" are not flavors.

I like the clean finish and the fact that I can find the beer I like no matter where I go in the world.

"Clean" isn't a flavor, either. You really suck at this.

Oh, Guess

Boy do I feel sorry for you! I cannot imagine "finding" Budweiser in Belgium, Bavaria, or even Denver...

Seriously though - do you like other light lagers? Tried many?

The name of this newsgroup is alt.beer. Budweiser is beer. People like Budweiser.

Chill.

The majority of those who visit this newsgroup do not like Bud. The reason why most visit this newsgroup is to learn about and discuss beer, specifically beers that they've never had before.

You're right. I'm moving over to Alt.beer.exceptbudweiser

A newsgroup is for discussion of topics relevant to that newsgroup. In the case of this newsgroup, that topic is beer. Budweiser is to beer as Wonder Bread is to bread: something with all the character removed, in a deliberate manner, so as to taste as little like what it is as possible. People also dislike Budweiser. I drank one a couple of months ago, for the first time in years. It's flabby, fizzy, and nearly flavorless - not "subtle," flavorless. That people like flavorless beer is no surprise. I don't. Thus ensues discussion.

Don't tell me - or anyone else - what to think or post. I'll grant you the same courtesy, but I'll reserve the right to disagree about things - especially about mass-produced American industrolager.

Ah...Don? Aren't you really telling him what not to post? He's not telling you what not to post so much as "discussing" with you the idea that Budweiser is beer, and that denying that is, in his opinion, over the top. I didn't see him telling you what to think or post, any more than any of your -- or my -- posts tell people anything other than what you -- or I -- are thinking about that subject at the moment. "Chill." Calm down, take a break, think about what you're saying. Looks reasonable to me. Whether you choose to do it or not is up to you, of course, but it's hardly a full-frontal attack on your civil NG liberties. As these things go, it's actually pretty mild, isn't it?

Well, I like Blue Light, Molson Ex Light, and Bud Light, along with Bud itself. I'm also a huge fan of Old Speckled Hen, Black Sheep Ale, and I'm also partial to Sleeman's Honey Brown, and Sleeman's Steam Ale, though these obviously don't fit into the light lager category. Finally, for an evening beer, nothing better than Guiness. The floating widget is as close as one can come to the tap.

And Oh Guess...I'd piss in your beer at a moments notice. Mr. Randal Chapman: Thanks for carrying on a civilized conversation.

I will say anything I want on the subject, as can you.

If your panties are that twisted over the 'chill' comment, then feel free to block me.

Piss, Budweiser. Budweiser, piss. At least piss has aroma.

And I came in the last beer you drank.

Oh wait - in order to piss, don't you need a functioning central nervous system? Too bad, "rev" - good luck trying to get that mirror to fog, though.
