    I am a regional sales manager for Anheuser Busch. I was just curious what beer eveyone liked and why. And if anyone has tried any of the new AB products and liked them such as Bud Light Lime, Bud Light Golden Wheat, and Bud Select 55. Personally Im a Natural Light drinker I know in most parts of the country Natural Light is frowned upon but In Eastern NC where I live it is a premium beer.

    Again just curious. Thanks

    Natty, Keystone, Busch...etc...thats beer pong beer.

    Drinking? Its hard to beat Bud Light. I do like Coors, And Labat Blue as well.

    Of course i always have to pick up a case of Hook & Ladder for my comrades.

    I'm a fan of Bud Light between those two choices. I really don't like drinking keystone like a majority of the people here at school. I would much rather spend the extra couple bucks and get a beer that tastes half decent. I don't like the the taste of miller lite. Out of the beers that you listed, I liked bud light golden wheat the best, but I prefer it draft. The bottles were alright though.

    Yuengling Lager, Samuel Adams Boston Lager, and any of the Stone Brewing Company.

    If I have to drink a cheap/standard beer the Bud Light Golden Wheat isn't horrible.... Bud Light, Key Light, Natty Light, Coors Light.... all terrible IMO.

    Beer Pong Beer? LMFA I know 100% what you mean. But the funny thing is that I live about 15min from the ocean in eastern NC and Natty, Keystone, and Busch Lt are all major players here in this market. I will drink a Busch Lt anyday.

    You are a huge part of the beer business right now, there is a major shift of people moving towards what is considered the "Craft Catgy" which is your Yuenglings, Sam Adams, ect... it is a major player. This was the #1 reason for AB coming out with BL Wheat and also putting more $$$ behind our Michelob family which is considered Craft. Sam Adams which is bottled under The Boston Brewing Company is a huge force in the business right now and it has been proven that even in the poor economy many people are still willing to pay more for there beer.

    #1 Miller Lite (by a lot)
    #2 Coors Light
    #3 Busch Light

    Bud light is too watered down for me

    I have tried all the AB "specialty" beers. I like the golden wheat and the rest don't taste like beer to me.


    Edit: Oh, but the best type of beer in the world is FREE beer. I'll drink anything put in front of me! Including Blatz, Old Style, Milwaukee's Best, etc.

    Leinenkugel's....almost any flavor.

    I've also taken a liking to BL Lime.

    When in Canada.....Labatt's Blue, Blue Light, Molson Canadian and Canadian Light are my picks.

    i brew my own cuz none of the 'gas station beers' quite fill the bill...

    however, of the ones you mention, the Bud Light Golden Wheat is actually decently tolerable for the summer and I keep it on hand for warm days... miller lite/GDL 64, bud light/lime/select 55, coors/light all suck donkey balls... I'll have it if nothing else is available, but frankly i'd rather have a coke or pepsi over any of those...

    I'm a bit of a beer snob though so i wouldn't count my opinion against those of the masses... when I wanna slum I turn to Busch/Lite, PBR, Old Style, HighLife, etc as long as its on sale...

    Neither are very high on my list but I would pick BL over ML anyday.

    Killians Irish Red is my choice.

    I'm way too much of a beer snob to participate in this thread.

    Miller high life light is better than either of the 2 mentioned IMO. I get wicked hangovers from AB products, always have.

    My dad has worked for Budweiser for over twenty years and he has been an area manager for some time now. My uncle has even worked there longer and is higher up in the company. So its a sin to drink anything other than AB products in my house and among my family.
