Bud lite

Bud lite comes in many forms.  There's the original, bud lite platinum and bud lite lime.  Bud lite, in my opinion, is the ultimate party beer.  Bud lite has grown to become one of the highest selling beers in the United States.  It contains 30% rice, (the rest is water lol).  Lite beer by definition means low alcohol. Along with low alcohol lite beer contains less calories. 

Bud Light is brewed by Anheuser-Busch in St.Louis Mo, and has a 4.2% by volume.  What can I say this beer looks good, other than that there is nothing special.  Bud lite is found in almost every convenience store and it goes good with drinking games due to it's low alcohol content. 

Here we go!  Again the best quality of this beer is it's availability.  I'm not saying anything bad but it's color is weak brown at best.  The taste when compared to traditional Budweiser is lacking.  When I pour it into a glass the question of why bother comes to mind.  Glass or can it doesn't change anything.

The best part about this beer is the marketing.  The selling factor for me is that this beer is good if you are planing on drinking a lot of them.  This beer is best used for social outings and parties.

As always comments and opinions are always welcome.  Until nest time, drink one for me.

Entro to "Something to Drink About"

Hello My name is Travis and I enjoy one of the finer things in life... BEER.  I started this blog to discuss some of the more famous and non-famous beer products out there. I enjoy both craft and non-craft beers, supporting the little man is just as important as enjoying a nice brew on a summer day.  I know some people think that beer and drinking are wrong, but here all I am trying to do is share a common interest.  If any body has anything to contribute please to do.

Discussions are welcome and are greatly needed.  Yes I am of legal age and responsible (disclaimer). Just a joke, but yes i do take this topic very seriously and this is just a place to enjoy a product.
I would like to start with my first beer.  This is one that I've been wanting to try for a while know and I finally get a chance to talk about it.   First up is...Shock Top Belgian White.  This beer comes from a long line of legendary brew masters from Anheuser-Busch. 

I have to admit this would not be my first choice when entering to beer isle, with ingredients such as lemon, lime and orange peels.  Not only that but it requires a special pour technique.  What?  Once the beer is poured you are then instructed to roll the bottle around and empty the remainder into the glass.  This is to insure that all those little spices, and flavors end up in your glass.  As ridiculously as that may seems, it works.  You can really taste the different flavors.  Overall the Shock Top was good but not great.  It did however deliver a nice change of pace.  

You may have noticed that in my post I didn't give a ranking of any sort.  Because that is not what I'm trying to accomplish.  Just a refreshing attitude towards to fun yet touchy topic.
