The Truth About Beer
I spent my college years, plus one extra year (five years total), here in the
Northwest, where salt is an exotic spice in the cuisine, but they do take pride
in brewing. Whether it's tea, coffee, or beer, the folks up here like special
things in the brewing department. Living in the area I became a coffee and beer
snob and that made it hard to even find acceptable coffee and beer when I came
home to the South. But now that I'm back in the South I have to come and say
that Bud Lite is my beer of choice. You can take you porters and stouts and
ambers and throw them out. Give me the King of Beers and that's all I need. I'll
drink other things, but my BL theory was confirmed when I went to the grocery
store in Moscow last night and actually choose the BL. That's not to say I
dislike the other kinds of beer, I just don't prefer them anymore and am
certainly not above a good old-fashioned American macro-brew. Nothing beats a
freezing cold BL, in a can; it actually quenches thirst rather than most stouts
where you have to drink a glass of water afterward just to keep from
dehydration. If you go to Bennigan's you'll find Guiness on the appetizer menu,
and that's a good place for it. It's like a meal in a pint glass, which is fine.
But after a hard day of work or play, give me the Bud Lite - it taste great and
it's less filling.
