Miller Lite vs. Bud Light

[Big-Ben-87]

I am just curious to see what the Homebrewing population thinks. Do you like Miller Lite or Bud Light better? I won't say what I like yet so I don't corrupt anyone else.

 

[Chairman Cheyco]

No.


Just NO!

 

[RichBrewer]

I would have voted if you had a "none of the above option".

 

[magno]

OK. I'll bite.

I'll go with Miller Lite over Bud Light. That is usually what I get at a baseball game (options are limited). To me BL tastes like pisswater, where ML is pisswater mixed with beer.

Please dont hurt me!

- magno

EDIT: That puts us at 100% for Miller Lite!!

 

[homebrewer_99]

The ONLY thing I drink from BMC is Blue Moon.

American beers: only the craft brews.

Other than that I drink only imported and homebrew.

 

[Big-Ben-87]

haha well....ill go ahead and say I choose Miller Lite too. Although I like craft/more complex beers every now and then on a hot day I enjoy a nice simple beer....and Miller Lite is my choice. Plus right now im working as a Miller delivery man as a part time job so riding around on that truck all day makes me thirsty.

 

[Big-Ben-87]

Please vote if you've tasted both of these beers. It's not saying that you really like that beer but I just wanted to see what Homebrewers thought since Homebrewers generally know good tasting beer. We all know that Bud Light is the #1 selling beer in America but most of those people don't know good beer, that's why I was asking people who do. Thanks.

I lived in Germany for 9 years. The last 5 was about 1.5 hours from the Czech border. The only Budweiser I've had since 1975 was in the town of Ceske Budejovice (Budweis), in the Czech Republic. Then there were the several cases I brought back in '04.

I haven't had a Miller since 1972.
My EVERYDAY/lawnmower beer is German-style Hefe Weizen.

I voted for Miller Lite, for the sole reason that their commercials are consistently much, MUCH funnier.

Taste-wise, I recall it being MARGINALLY better, but I have not drunk one in quite some time. Did get stuck with the last two beers at a party not too long ago - Michelob Ultra and Corona Light, - AIIIIGH - not good times.

My guilty pleasure for an American/North American-style lager is definately Molson, either Canadian or Golden. Still goes down nice on a day like this.

Heard on the radio the other day that a poll was done of homosexual Americans asking about their favorite products. The #1 beer was Bud Light. Not that there's anything wrong with HA's, especially some of the women. Just thought that was an interesting fact. Bet if you polled the entire population, Bud Light would come up in the top three.

I vote Miller Lite. I used to drink it all the time until I discovered PBR.

 

[Pumbaa]

I actually like Miller products and cannot stand and would rather drink nothing if my only choice was a Bud product . . .

Then again I was born and raised in Milwaukee and we are weened on Miller here. I still drink Miller every now and again like at festivels (thats all that is available around here, ordanence is if it's not Wisconsin brewed it's not sold at the festivels or Miller Park) or for breakfast after a nasty shift at work. MGD is a nice light beer after you just worked 24 - 48 hours and dont really want to drink something heavier

PBR is the best macrobrew in N.America.

I voted thinking this:

I go to a party and they have two coolers of free beer (yea FREE)...one of Miller Lite and one of Bud Light.

Hmm, do I drink a Bud Light? Something that tastes like rotten piss that has aged in a fat old Norweigan woman's wooden shoe?

Or do I drink a Miller Lite? It kinda "tastes" like beer... Has a decent after-taste for being a BMC...

I'll take a Miller Lite.

HAHA that was a hilarious description of Bud Light. I fully agree with this statement. I don't know what it is about that beer, but it doesn't taste like beer. Its got a really weak/bitter taste to it I think, but its hard to pinpoint exactly what it is I'm tasting.

All too true. I grew up a Miller fan. Miller Lite was the beer of choice in my younger years--I eventually moved onto High Life and MGD. Now I'm a snob.

However, I've been known to buy a case of cans of MGD or High Life. Still to this day there is NOTHING better in this world than an ice cold miller product out of a can while mowing the lawn or working on the vehicle in the driveway.

Come over to my house right now and you'll find a fridge pack of MGD.

 

[Chairman Cheyco]

This is an intersting thread. As a Canadian, I grew up on Molson and Labatt products, and viewed beers from the states with incredible disdain (except for imported Coors for some reason.) Lite beers up here aren't pushed as hard as they are in the states either and it never really enters into my thought process when picking up a 12er for hot summer days.
I'm still abstaining from the vote, though I will say Kokanee or Molson Pilsener are my swill-choices, and often have one of them on hand.

 

[Beer Snob]

very loud and resonating....'BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRPPPPPPP'

Sorry..... now that felt good... uhhh.... neither.

 

[SwAMi75]

Man, ice cold Kokanee is a teriffic thing. We used to get it in NY.

On topic, to me Miller Lite has more/better flavor than Bud Light.

You heard wrong...that was Butt Light.

 

[david_42]

I've never tried either, but Coors lite is good for brining sausage. PBR seems to be the leading choice for boiling brats. Maybe it's old age creeping up, but I'm having trouble remembering when and what I last had from BMC.

 

[Pumbaa]

most PBR is contract brewed by Miller right here in Milwaukee . . . and PBR isnt good for anything . . . except maybe putting on your lawn

Lol, reminds me of the days of being broke in college at UW-Milwaukee. We used to buy cases of Huber Beer for dirt cheap and get free cases when we were broke and previously to lazy to return the bottles.

Then we got a little money and started drinking Milwaukee's Best (the beast). We'd pool our monies and get a "Beer of the Month" 1/4 barrel for a weekend binge...usually Sprecher or something "good."

When we graduated and had some money we moved on to Miller High Life supplemented by a micro six-pack here and there.

Now I think nothing of buying a six-pack for more than the cost of that case of Huber Beer....

When I drink it, it usually does end up on my lawn. Mostly behind the shed.

Yea exactly. I just had some MGD last night actually. If I'm sitting around casually drinking only a couple beers then craft beers/homebrew is the way to go. But as far as hot days working outside or just days you wanna finish off a whole 12 pack, there is no better way to go than Miller Lite to me. Also, I agree with the guy from Canada. I recently tried Molson Ice and it was delicious. I also enjoy Moosehead.

I've got to vote Bud Light since my grandpa used to drive the Clydesdale hitch for Budweiser - my family was Anheiser Busch product exclusive when I was growing up.

That said, since I'm new, I've got to ask what BMC stands for?

Bud Miller Coors

 

[Glibbidy]

bud gives me a headache.

 

[rdwj]

Me too - especially regular bud. As far as light goes, I usually go with miller.

PBR is the best macrobrew in N.America.

And all are owned by SABMiller whose parent company is
South African Breweries Limited.

Prior to that it was RJR Reynolds tobacco (now Altria).

Bud is its own evil Empire and it distrubutes beers such as Guiness.
Coors is the Fredo of the bunch recently allying with Molson.

Bud is like an Iced Tea of Beer with Beer flavoring.

I prefer MGD to Coors and Bud. I drink Guiness.

Soylent Green is People. Wash your Soylent Green down with BMC.

 

[G. Cretin]

^^ do you have a good Guiness clone?^^
please post any replie in a PM or the thread police will come around and they don't have a sense of humor.
edited to be on topic: PBR was until 2003 also brewed in San Antonio by Pearl brewers the building is now being converted in to a mall. It makes baby Jesus cry.
