Am I a Loser?

[LakewoodBrew]

I can tolerate someone saying they like the taste of BMC, but calling it beer that's where i draw the line.

FYI as far as I know AB wasn't willingly sold. In fact in press conferences they assured people that the company wasn't at risk for such a thing. Then InBev bought 51% of their shares and the rest is history. Check out "Beer is Proof God Loves Us." Awesome book

That is wrong, perhaps that is what AB wants people to believe.

The truth is... AB got 100% bought by InBev:

I add adjuncts to my beer, what are you saying?



German purity law also prohibits wheat. Ever heard of german wheat beer? yeah. Ever had a rye ale? Illegal under the law. Limiting yourself to anything but taste is a mistake. Saying you don't like bud because it tastes bad is fine. Saying you don't like it because it violates a hundred year old law designed to stifle foreign competition, is just odd. Unless... you secretly love bud ?!? BUD LOVER WE HAVE A BUD LOVER OVER HERE FOLKS

Regardless of the German Purity Law or definition of adjuncts , adding cheap corn or sugar cane syrup as a source of fermentable sugar in the wort results in a product of poor quality and almost no malt smell, which is typical of BMCs.

You can find more info at beer advocate. Again, I’m not arguing the fact that some people like them, that’s fine, but saying they have good quality is not fair game compared to crafts IMHO.

Yes you are a loser. Not for drinking Budweiser, but for feeling you have to apologize for it.
