rant of the day - anheuser-busch black labels













I thought Budweiser Black Crown was bad enough, but this? Are you fuckin' kidding me? What the hell is Anheuser-Busch's obsession with black labeling everything now?

Busch Black Light Lager
Michelob Black Bock Special Dark Lager

Beck’s Black Jewel

Rolling Rock Black Rock Extra Dark Lager


I can tell you this, Busch Light was, unfortunately, the first beer I ever drank. It's the classic story of an underage high school student on an Iowa country dirt road rebelling against everything that's so horrible about being a teenager (I wasn't really rebelling, it just sounded cool). I remember thinking this might just be the worst beverage I have ever put into my mouth.

This new product, I guarantee, will be even worse. Extra ice brewed for bold taste? Sure, it's bold for someone to actually drink this shit but to call the drink itself bold is just plain false advertising. And smooth finish? I remember puking once just because Busch Light tasted so horrible, and there was nothing smooth about it going down or coming back up. Both ways still tasted like shit.

If anyone buys this, drinks this, and ACTUALLY enjoys it, I will personally film myself listening to John Mayer's Say What You Need to Say on repeat, which in doing so you will see me lose all forms of sanity as well.

Support Your Local Brewers!

  3. most of these local brewers would love to work with Anhueser-Busch, think of all the resourse. your blog paints it perfectly, they can put out 5 new Black beers(maybe they are trying to diverify). The will make more of those brands than most micro breweries make of their entire portfolios. bottom line competition create better beer for all, AB has the best and fastest equipment. I going to grab a Hopslam talk to you later.
