I'm OK with drinking BMC... Are you?

[GilaMinumBeer]

Holy SHT! Your study reinforces exactly my latent thoughts on BMC!

I never went past the "Bud sucks, but I can drink Miller" point. Turns out that I feel the same way about all of those beers you listed.

Now what the hell am I going to do with the 2 pounds of flaked rice I bought?

In the summer I will pick up some schlitz, 1970's formula and miller high life. Thats about it though

 

[IrregularPulse]

I used to be a Miller Lite guy. Don't really like it much anymore but will still drink it occasionally. I won't drink budlight. I just don't like like it. Too carbonated and too watery for me. I will drink PBR quite often.

 

[JoeyChopps]

Man I sound terrible now I always have a 30 rack of stones in my fridge I love my homebrew and micro beers but I also really like cheap beer I will drink damn near any beer and enjoy the Hell out of it must just be me

 

[curlyfat]

I'll drink any beer if it's free. ANY beer. Sometimes I'm in the mood to throw back 12 or so and still see straight. That's where PBR comes in. Easy to drink mass quantities.

I don't hate ALL BMC, just, it seems "Bud" type products. So trying various "Lagers" including those from microbreweries, I made a list of the ones I hated and the ones that were ok; trying to figure out why I liked some and not the others. Finding out that I like corn adjuncted lagers and not rice ones like sapporo and bud.

Millers, Michelob, Labatts, PBR, Strohs, Schlitz, I will drink, and many like Strohs and pabsts (the original 70's recipes I will actually buy and enjoy...to me te two main bud products just taste horrible to me.

I really like Labatt's blue.

Interesting... I suppose my tastes are the same but I haven't really thought about why I don't really like most Bud products. I enjoy products from Miller and Coors now and then but Bud just never did it for me.

This will require a thorough investigation!

If I have a choice I don't drink BMC. At the bar I'll buy full price craft over today's special pitzwasser. While at a wedding the other weekend I had the choice of Bud, Bud Light, or Michelob Ultra. I drank sweet tea until I just had to have a beer. I went with Bud.

I see a lot of you guys will drink that stuff to quench thirst. If I'm just looking to quench my thirst I'll have water. If I'm looking to drink a beer I'll drink beer, not a water/beer hybrid.

 

[cadarnell]

before i started to drink mostly craft beer and now my own homebrew ... I drank coors original a lot .... and I will still pick up a sixer of it now and then ... cheap and IMO very quaffable .. .. dont like most the others tho ...

i didn't see anyone say quence thirst.
i saw "refreshing," "cool," and "hits the spot" but nothing about thirst.

if i'm thirsty (or not thirsty, but enjoying a beer) i drink water or juice.

 

[EoinMag]

i didn't see anyone say quence thirst.

Nor will you, you just made that word up.....that you'd expect people to know you were about to make a word up and use it preemptively is a little much don't you think?

 

[JonM]

Of course! On a hot day, at the ball park, at a cookout, etc. It's not my favorite, but it has its place.

 

[j1laskey]

The Highlife is always good to have on hand...I like to stick one up the chickens butt before I put it in the oven too....mmmmm...beer can chicken......

 

[Zen_Brew]

I'll buck the trend. I don't drink it, don't like it, and don't care for the business practices of InBev.

If a friend offers me one, I decline. If I go to a party and that is all that is there, I go to the store and pick up better beer, plus some to share, then return to the party. If that's all that's on the menu at the restaurant I drink water or soda.

Life is too short to drink beer I don't like.

 

[EoinMag]

I have a friend who brings BMC or worse to parties and drinks the good stuff.....man I ended up with some crap in my fridge after that party.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

That's right. I'll drink a BMC every now and then and I find it to be perfectly acceptable. Do I think it's great beer? No. Do I like it? Sometimes.

Here's how I see it... There are a couple items on the menu at Taco Bell that I kinda like. Now, when I'm in the mood for mexican food do I think of those items? No. Sometimes though I really want some Taco Bell.

Same thing with BMC. 95% of the time I would much prefer to stay away. But there is that 5%... Is it when I'm in the mood for good beer? No. Sometimes though one or six bottles of BMC sounds good.

So there...

I won't touch the stuff, much less drink it; I won't even cook with it.
If you like it, more for you. If it's a choice between BMC or water, I'll take water every time. Regards, GF.

 

[beerloaf]

I used Bud Light in a super soaker once because I didn't want to waste the water.

[duckmanco]

No I'm not ok with BMC, and its only about the flavor. Light American lagers taste like sh* t to me and I'll order water instead of it every time.

Life would be easier if I could enjoy drinking those beers, but I can't, and so I won't.

 

[GreggZ]

Usually no BMC for me. I wont say i'll never have one again but I dont enjoy them anymore. Why waste my liver on something I really dont like.

 

[arturo7]

ftw

 

[RMitch]

BMC is quite refreshing. Ice cold can of coors light on a hot day...kayaking, fishing, doing yard work, etc. It's what... 98% water?

 

[funkapottomous]

I will drink any BMC that I don't have to buy. I have a friend whos BMC beer tastes awsome:cross:

+1.

if it's free, I ain't gonna bitch about it. I have a buddy who thinks those stupid miller lite mini kegs are the best thing since sliced bread, so I get a lot of that some weekends.

 

[bniesen]

We had a birthday party for my daughter's 1st birthday. It was coincidence (poor planning) that I didn't have and homebrew for the adult guest. My wife goes out for a beer run and brings back 2 can cases of MILLER LITE!!??!!

O no. Yea my wife is still on the miller lite. I get angry everytime I open the fridge and see it. I'm slowly trying to convert her over to something that actually taste better than water. I haven't touch the stuff in a long time and don't plan on it. The tipping point for me was when I watch the documentary "beer wars". Anyone else seen it?

 

[bniesen]

I haven't seen "Beer Wars" but I have heard of it. Yeah, the wife is a converted Miller Lite fan and now prefers New Glarus Spotted Cow over everything else (I introduced her to better beers).
I tried making a Spotted Cow clone (cream style ale, kolsch yeast, good part of the grain bill is flaked corn), didn't come out too bad but wasn't really close enough as I didn't cold crash the Kolsch yeast after primary fermentation was done. My bad, right.
I just bottled a Honey Cream Ale that I think will blow her socks off in a couple of weeks though.

 

[bniesen]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that gives his wife a little cr@p for buying the cheap stuff sometimes.

 

[Mknox4354]

Haha yea it's frustrating when I make good home brew and then I look over and she is enjoying a glass of miller lite. I guess over time she will acquire more of a taste for it. Hopefully

 

[bniesen]

Damnit woman, assimilate or get the F out! I'm kidding of course. But yeah, I try to make some brews that will get her away from buying beer at the store so I can enjoy my hobby more often. She does like the apple wine though

 

[rustynuts]

I like to use BMC for red beers

 

[tdogg]

ive managed to get SWMBO to try dark milds, coffee stouts, brown ales, kolsch's and a few others that she has really liked. now she makes the "bitter beer face" when she drinks miller or coors. i love that woman. she's not a hop fan, but thats ok. im trying to make some lower SG beers so i can have something for a hot day (thats not a BMC). i used to drink miller and coors, and still will if its free, but i have never been able to stomach budweiser.
