Having seen it advertised in various spots on NFL games, I wanted to try some. So my faithful wife bought the last and only six pack she could find locally in Texarkana. Supposedly brewed using a pre-prohibition recipe, it is a fairly good brew to my tastes. Dark, with a slight lean towards hoppy, I like it. No, it ain't the equivalent of my favorite, Samuel Adams Lager, but it is quite drinkable. It has a fairly high abv of over 6%, so it is not a driving beer. Based on Bud's various "off the reservation" efforts in the past (anyone remember "World Beer" which I reallly liked...gone in the blink of time's eye), I'd try it now, it probably won't be around long. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.

I commend you for your taste in Sam Adams. However, I wouldn't drink any Budweiser if it was the only thing in the coller. Personal opinion. Jim Kobe 10841 Oxborough Ave So Bloomington MN 55437 952.884.6031 Professional member American Custom Gunmakers Guild | |||

To each his own. I'm not going to argue tastes, but since you seem to be downgrading Budweiser products which are, if not, the largest selling beer in the US, your tastes in beer can hardly be called normal. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.

Charlie, thanks for the heads up. I will look for it. I'm with Jim on regular Bud and Michelob. Yuck. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Texans ain't so damn picky as some claim to be. Get real hot, real dry on a hot day and see how your tastes change when Bud is all that's in the ice chest. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.

Of course, I might add that neither of the two above posters have tried Bud 1933 so the obvious conclusion is they are talking out their asses. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.

Bud is going back to make good beer? What's this world coming to. Dave | |||

Just braved day-before-Thanksgiving grocery crowds looking for the 1933 Bud, but no soap. Lowe's was out of Lone Star as well, so I brought home a half dozen of Dale's Pale Ale in gratitude for their sponsorship of several of the films in this year's fly-fishing film festival. I remain intrigued by the theoretical concept of Budweiser producing a drinkable beer, however, so will keep a weather eye out for the 1933.

Bill: I dunno, it seems to becoming more available locally. Perhaps Bud's ad campaign was ahead of their distribution? At any rate, while drinkable, it certainly is not so fine as to warrant extra efforts.

Found six. I give Bud a high five for trying. The color is nice -- almost a root beer. There is a little bit of flavor -- to me, I taste a hint of caramel and even a hint of licorice. Whatever hop they are using is less bitter to me than it is slightly medicinal. Doubt I will buy more, as I think a Lone Star has it beat, but geez, at least the Clydesdale boys gave it a try, and it is far superior to the rice swill they call the "King of Beers."

I can't find any at our HEB superstore.I would like to try it,but I agree with you Bill,it's pretty hard to beat a Lone Star longneck. Never mistake motion for action. | |||

Since when is Lone Star a hoppy amber? It’s not so why even compare the two. And let’s be honest.....there’s one and only one reason you love Lone Star and it ain’t the taste. If ice cold Bud is all that’s available then it’s f***ing delicious. | |||
|
| One of Us |
Of course its not a hoppy amber,never said it was.Also there is a big difference in taste between the longnecks + their canned beer.I don't care for the canned taste;besides there is nothing wrong with state pride.EVERYONE knows what the state of Texas outline looks like;you can't say that for any other state.

Now there's a man who understands.

I shouldn't rate beers, because I don't drink them with that in mind, but, for the 3 we are discussing, Regular Bud, 2.75/5.0, Bud 33 3.25/5.0, Lone Star 2.0/5.0. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.

Very similar to the English taste in beers. Bud is a very light beer meant to be quaffed on hot days or as a thirst quencher with friends, not like semi-warm English brews where two limeys sit around discussing weighty world issues, such as the proper angle for the little finger while sipping tea. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.

Complete rubbish. There is no controversy as to the correct angle, the matter is settled.  Budvar, who those Budweiser bastards had the temerity to try and sue, is the proper Budweiser. | |||

Lone Star is an above-average classic American lager. Budweiser does not even qualify as beer under German law. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||
|
| One of Us |
Yup. The legal battles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...er_trademark_dispute Apparently the beer is called "Czechvar" in the US, track it down and compare to Bud. German beer laws:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinheitsgebot And you know how seriously ze Germans take their rules... | |||

F@ck the German. We kicked their ass so they can make blasers and scopes and second tier cars. Bud is my beer of choice if the much better Mexican beers are not available. Yesterday I turned down Bud to drink crappy kingfisher on tap in Bombay - I regret it. Should have had the king of beers. Mike | |||

Mike, I sure hope you are not including Corona among those "better Mexican beers," such as Dos Equis and Negra Modelo. I find Corona almost as awful as Bud. Another beer FAIL that has me shaking my head ... There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Modelo Dos Equis Pacifico Carona I also drink them as Chelada or michelada I like Mexican beers. Salt lime and I am happy. Mike | |||

| one of us |
Damn, now we're going international. There are some Mexican beers I like, and some I really don't. Among the latter group are Corona, Pacifico, Sol, and some I can't think of. I like Tecate, Negra Modelo, Modelo Especial ain't bad, Dos Equis, Tres Equis, and some others like Victoria that I haven't had lately. All this shows is that there ain't no accounting for tastes. Many Americans like Budweiser, those who don't can suck German ass. Since we're pissing on the pope, so to speak, there are damn few African beers worth drinking, if Bud was available. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.

Charlie, you're making me laugh out loud. At least we agree on Corona. I'm normally good for well over six beers, but we were at a friend's house and he thought he was doing us favors serving cold Coronas. I choked the first one down and went dry the rest of the night. Felt like a Methodist. The beers I remember from Namibia were good, solid lagers, like Lone Stars. Way better than that crap rice beer from St. Louis. If I used Bud for slug bait, I would feel sorry for the slugs. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

I’m in the boat that I can only enjoy a Bud if damn cold and no other options. However, I don’t mind the Budweiser brewed in Argentina. I meant to be DSC Member...bad typing skills. Marcus Cady DRSS | |||

Charlie, my people had the good sense to gather up their kids and their cattle and move to this part of New Mexico in 1884.

I have news for you buddy, all those Mexican beers you like are actually German beers in the first place... Kingfisher is bad but not as bad as bud, must have been a bad pint. | |||

When in Rome, do as the Romans do and so in Africa I drink brandy and coke from a can until it's time to get the Whisky out! This is all by the by, the proper beer is English bitter served at room temperature. You ought to be able to find Fullers ESB (extra special Best) in bottles, try some as it's a damn fine drop. Don't drink it cold!!! | |||
