First reason being that it is cheaper than buying a keg. Don't argue that it's not. A keg of Bud Light is around $80-$130 depending on where you are in the country (without deposit) and it's 15.5 gallons. I can brew a 5 gallon batch of beer with a lot more ingredients and flavor for about $25 average and that only comes to $77.50 per 15.5 gallons. I am sure that a watery-tasting party beer can be brewed for much less.
Second reason is with the legality of purchasing a keg for parties which I won't delve too far into, but long story short a keg full of homebrew is allowed whereas a commercially filled keg is not.
So, I will be brewing 1 barrel batches for party purposes, and to appease the masses, I won't try to force anything too flavorful on them, hence the need for a Bud Light type recipe.
I'm not saying it has to be an exact clone, but something similar that doesn't give too much more in terms of flavor. It's purpose will still be a party beer that people won't care what it tastes like.
I have searched for a while for this and only found people turning threads into flame wars and some recipes that seem to be an attempt to make it more of a craft lager than a clone.
So if you have any idea how to make a Bud Light type beer, please post it, and don't tell me to water down a beer and piss in it, I would really like legitimate responses.
