I started homebrewing.

maybe one or two, but it's been a long time is what I'm getting at. We were at an event for SWMBO's family today and the only beers available were light beer #1, light beer #2, light beer #3 and light beer #4.

I grabbed one at random, and it was bud light.

Now I am a man of conviction and choose not to purchase products made by the evil, fork tailed, horned men at BMC but if it's free and it's a hundred degrees outside I ain't gonna bitch.

all I really have to say is that they really stick to that "superior drinkability" slogan, because I couldn't even tell I was drinking a beer. Absolutely no hops taste at all. Thinking about how this product is actually called beer make brain hurt and no good do thoughts no more.
 
No "light" beers that I can remember, but a month ago I went on vacation for a week to a remote island (ferry only) and took along a bunch of Old Milwaukee. I like that stuff. I'm going to try (again) to make this type of beer during the winter.
 
Bought some the first of July for a camping trip and a month before that for a long night of poker. 90 degree weather or A case or more while playing cards for cash and the hit the spot. 5 hours of pounding 7% beers and poker don't go well together
 
Mid 90s when I worked in this Pizza shop... The one cook was my neighbor and she was always giving me bud lights. I was never a fan but I am not one to turn down free beer. If I have had one after that, I can't remember. I have had Miller Lite recently. Same crap different can to me.

Late 2000, couchsurfing at the house of a friend of a friend in Kauai. I would cruise down the hill on his one-speed clunker bike and ride back up with a 12er of Bud Lite under my arm. It was the house beer and I was the houseguest.
 
Last weekend I went out dancing and had 3 Coors Lights. Ain't gonna pay bar prices for "good" beer. At home it's all home brew. Besides I'm trying to stay sober when I dance.
 
I haven't had a BL in so long,I can't remember the last time. I've been buying Stroh's for the last 4-5 beer runs now. It even tastes good as it warms up a little. Can't say that for bud. Miller high life & old Milwaukee are good to. But only when my home brew is gone,fermenting,or conditioning.
I'm building the pipeline back up now.
I remember when I lived in Elyria,we had a neighbor 2nd house down that was on a tank crew in 'nam. He always had a 6'r of Bud cans on a picnic table in the middle of the yard all summer long. When I asked why,he said they had to get used to drinking it that way,since supplies hung in nets on the outside of the tank. I can get used to a lot of things,but damn...fresh horse wizz?!
 
BL...Mardi Gras 2009. At a friends house for a parade and he ran out of bottled water. I figured it was the next best thing.
 
Last BL for me was the OU Nebraska game last year. It was that or CL and I was hot and thirsty. That's when these beers perform their best IMO.
 
Bud light is beer?

Honestly after watching the movie "beer wars" about 2 years ago i have never had a BL, miller, coors or any others since and refuse even if its free.

Dance...sober...doesn't not compute :confused:

I think I had one at a baseball game last month. We were in the cheap seats and no craft beer vendors in my section.
 
Had one a few days ago. Went to drop off my kid at a friend's house and his dad offered me a beer. To refuse would have been rude, so I drank it. It actually doesn't taste bad, just doesn't taste like beer. Highly drinkable. :D

My rule has been not to drink BMC unless it is free, and there is no other option. This fulfilled both requirements.

Before this BL, it's been a while. I sometimes end up drinking one or two if I visit my folks -- Dad likes MGD. Otherwise I avoid them like the plague.
 
A year ago my best friend /boss was dying of cancer and he wanted one last beer so we shared a can of Bud Lite-he died 2 days later. It will be a year next week. That wouldn't be my choice for my last taste of beer but it was all he liked.

They always have Penn Brewery at PNC park and sometimes you can get beers such as Victory or Troeggs I am told. If I am going to grossly overpay for a beer at least it's going to be a good one.
 
last night. i was at my buddy's house and we were getting **** faced. no reason to waste good beer (and money) when i'm drinking 20 of them.
 
Years ago now...because bud light tastes like piss in a bottle and gives wicked hangovers. If i'm gonna drink a light, watered down beer, i'll drink a code blue.

Goto the players club. I was paying $6 for a Dfh 60 min last time I was there. You can sneak them out if your are careful
 
i bought some BL Lime when we were on a camping trip a couple weeks ago and it was like 100 degrees. It worked for that situation, just wanted something like water, but not quite
