What a waste of good barley

[bigmf]

Wasteful... (http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20040107005790&newsLang=en) :( 106.2 million barrels.

Think of how many clueless people it took to drink that much. What a shame...

Bud Light:
the "beer" for those with absolutely no beer drinking imagination.

thats just sick man! how could you post that?!
interesting about the low carb stuff 'leading the way'
i thought it was a joke, surely people don't take this serious?
guess they do......then they gone on to say,
"We are confident that having the highest quality and freshest beers in the industry, combined with effective marketing, solid sales execution and a favorable pricing environment, will result in another very good year for Anheuser-Busch in 2004,"
i'll agree with the effective marketing and sales part but im not buying the rest.... favorable pricing ??? if thay charged just 1/2 a cent for a case it would still be too much in my "not so humble" opinion.
gawd! people are f*@#!ng sheep!

I hope those weren't the rice hulls you use to filter wort BM, you're not supposed to put those in your mouth! ;)

Hopjack, Bud's an easy target, like pickin' on Lenny from "Of Mice and Men," and I ought to be ashamed of myself.

Steve's comment was the first thing to pop into my mind as well....

It's more like a waste of good(?) rice. They probably could have fed half of China with it.

I wonder about the validity of the article, I'd like to see real numbers on it becasue I have a hard time believing it.

What's the big difference between tradtional Michelob Lite & the new Michelob Ultra? I seriously doubt formulation was changed, just the marketing.
Anybody know?

funny stuff...I love the commercial where Bud talks about hops... "hand-blended", they say. There is a guy holding a single hop flower by the stem. I keep thinking: that ought to be enough for a few batches.

I prefer to use oat hulls when I am brewing adjunct beers thank you!
