........and I noticed the tag line on top of the cans says "Natural Aging Natural Carbonation"

What does that mean? Is is possible they are using yeast to generate their carbonation? I have a feeling it is just a matter of semantics and marketing. I can't see how they could do with yeast.

PS: Yes i was drinking a Busch Light. It was all that was left in the fridge cold. We keep it around for beer pong.

I feel sorry for you.

If you are going to drink grocery store beer at least get some Hieneken or Boulevard Wheat.
 
When I saw the title of this thread I thought it was the set-up for a good joke.
In a way I guess it was :)
 
Carbon dioxide occurs naturally. It exists in the beer......after they butt fooked it with a huge beer buggaring machine.

Help me out someone. I'm doing my best here.
 
All they would have to do is pump some of the fermentation CO2 back into the beer post-filtering. Makes more sense than wasting it.
 
Drinking Busch Light is like bringing a fat girl home from the bar. We've all done it, but don't tell your friends.
 
Brewmoor,

I am guilty of a Buschel every now and again. Seems to go better with sawdust and auto grease than some of my more preferred choices. It is a moped beer, but face it...every now and then you ride a moped, and it is fun!
 
Whatever. Busch is $2.79 for a six pack of 16 oz. camouflage cans at the drug store next door. Damn well better believe I drink it pretty regularly.

amen brother. if i'm in for an entire day of drinking, it normally starts with some homebrew and ends with about 10 busch lights. and i don't care if people see me drinking it.
 
We had a saying at the Rolla Kappa Sig house:
Lights - Natty, Busch, Coors - for quantity
Crafts - for quality.
It originated based on cost. As in if you are gettin hammered no reason to do it at 9 bucks a 6 pack, that's what Natty or Busch Light is for. Save the premiums for a meal or when you are drinking to enjoy a brew.

Also, I'll take a couple Miller Lite or Budweiser after 3-4 hours in the yard. Nice, light thirst quenching beers. I just don't see "bigger" beers pulling that off. I did make a lawnmower ale so as tomaintain my "beer snob" image. But it is on American Lights, not another. I do have to soak the labels off my Bud bottles so as not to tip-off the neighbors. :)
 
My friends and I will not associate with anyone that drinks "Natty Light".

MMM. Darling, have the butler bring me another "I'm too good for you ale." (spoken in a most irritating Thurston Howell III voice)

I choose not to associate with people who choose not to associate with others based on the beer they drink.

Drink what makes you happy, or at least what makes you forget why you aren't.

+1 :mug:

Like I say, there is a time and place for most any beer.
 
Hey listen,

When it is super hot in the high mountain deserts of colorado you need a light beer if you are going to drink all day. Also you can't make a Bromosa with homebrew, it would just be a waste.

Bromosa: one part light beer + one part orange juice.

Best breakfast for those camping situations when you wake up in your tent and it is already 90 degrees.

That just sounds gross and is an insult to Orange Juice everywhere.:D In the high Mountain Desert I drink water. If I had to drink a Macro it will be PBR.
 
If you saw some of the people around here that drink Natty Light, you would agree with me....
 
I used to think the same thing. I went to a rock festival for a few days and my friends forced me to try it. It is actually really good, and we also were drinking PBR on that trip.
 
NO to Busch and especially no to Busch Light. No to Natty. Damn.

I would much rather enjoy a couple of tasty ales than drink a bunch of crap light lagers for the "effect".
 
I buy PBR when I'm cooking brats. No way I'm going to boil my brats in homebrew.

I agree. Why waste good homebrew for cooking.

Back to the original post idea. I guess it makes sense that if they draw CO2 from the fermenters and use that for carbonation, that would be natural carbonation.

I think that New Belgium has a pretty sophisticated system of recycling gases from the brewery. I believe one of them is for CO2 from the fermenters. They also recycle waste gas from a bacteria pond and use it for heating in the plant.
 
I can't believe the timing of this post. I go to the man cave yesterday afternoon for a beer and there is a 12 pack of my friends Busch Lite in my kegerator. Looked at it for minute and said "what the hell" and grabbed 1. Kinda helped my thirst actually. Well, one turned into 4 and then started hitting my IIPA. Then back for a few more then finished with my brown ale. I hate to say it but they were kinda good mixed in there.
