1. What if I've already been doing that for years?

:P

[Blondiegrrl]

19. Same here. I hate sucky beer.

My favorite cheap (but good) beer:

http://www.saranac.com/home/

[Raine1967]

28. LOVE Saranac!!!

Damn... I moved to Atlanta a few years ago, and BOY do I miss it!!!!

(is it owned by Bud?)

[Blondiegrrl]

30. LOL ... I'm pretty sure it's independently owned.

I live in WV but they sell Saranac in the stores around here.

[SheilaT]

50. It's still family owned.

Third and fourth generations now running it.

[SheilaT]

49. Yes yes yes yes yes!

Best beer in North America, in my opinion.

I haven't drunk Anheuser Busch crap in a lot of years.

[The_Casual_Observer]

2. That's easy for me.

I wouldn't buy/drink that dog piss anyway.

[evlbstrd]

3. Better yet, brew your own.

I never touch that stuff.

[Waiting For Everyman]

4. Good idea! But why not boycott it permanently?

[tblue]

11. Works for me! And I can't root fot the Arizona Diamondbacks ever again since the McLames are owners

[Sebastian Doyle]

16. They own the D-Backs too?

Shit... guess I can't wear that hat anymore. :(

[tblue]

17. "minority ownership" Too bad, huh?

I'm Giants fan, anyway. But I'd root for the Dodgers over the D-backs now.

[AZBlue]

18. I haven't rooted for them since they "won" the World Series in 2001.

(but I'm a Yankees fan anyway)

[AZBlue]

20. Oops, wrong spot.

[crazy_vanilla]

44. then poor Cindy won't be able to add to her 13 cars

OMG :toast:

[Applan]

5. I like my beer to taste like beer not piss

So I haven't drunk that swill for many many years

[fortyfeetunder]

6. That will not be a problem

I drink the local independent stuff.

[Heather MC]

7. I only drink drinks with unmbrellas

so count me in

[AndyTiedye]

8. Here is some Budweiser That Doesn't Suck

This Budweiser is from the Czech Republic and has no connection to Anheuser-Busch.

[Raine1967]

29. YES!!!!

And it's available in the USA once again!

[snake in the grass]

33. The problem is...

Anheuser-Busch distributes it in the U.S. as part of a deal with Budvar. See post #32 for details. Urquell is an excellent alternative.

[AndyTiedye]

38. I Like Pilsner Urquell Too

Didn't know AB distributed them here.

[backscatter712]

9. Not hard for me - I only drink beer.

The pisswater made by Anheuser-Busch isn't beer.

[CarbonDate]

10. The jury is in, it seems:

Real Democrats don't drink Budweiser.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

12. Coors is even worse than Bud in my opinion

I wouldn't drink either one. I can't afford real expensive beers but I usually drink Canadian stuff in the bottle.

[backscatter712]

14. I'll find a way to afford the good stuff.

Be it local microbrews like Fat Tire, 90 Shilling, etc. or good imports like Boddingtons, I will find a way to get the good stuff.

Edit: Looks like I'm taking Boddingtons off my list - seems that Anheuser-Busch distributes it in the U.S. :(

Oh well, it's not like there aren't plenty of alternatives that don't funnel money to McBush and his Stepford wife...

[Motown_Johnny]

13. I switched brands when they sold it to that Belgian company

[SOS]

51. That's the key

Anheuser Busch is a Belgian company.
The key is to boycott the beer distributed by Hensley.
Not sure of their geographical coverage, but Dems in AZ should switch to another brand.

[Sebastian Doyle]

15. No problem. I don't drink their shit anyway.

Nor do I drink Coors' shit or Miller's shit.

There's microbreweries all up and down the West Coast that make much better products, and even the weakest of those is 10 times better than anything brewed by Anhueser Busch McCain.

[nolabels]

53. I don't drink much but i would make the bet

I would bet i could start drinking long before McLiar could ever stop lying :toast:

[AZBlue]

21. Bud, Busch, Michelob, Natural Light, Bacardi, O'Douls, Rolling Rock, Stone Mill, Redbridge, Tequiza,

Monster Energy drinks, Rumba, 180, Beach Bum Blonde Ale, Jack's Pumpkin Spice, Winter's Bourbon Cask Ale, Shock Top Belgian White, King Cobra, Hurricane, Kirin, Harbin Lager, Tiger, Bass Pale Ale, Beck's, Boddingtons, Hoegaarden, Leffe Blonde, Leffe Brown, Löwenbräu, Staropramen Lager, Stella Artois, Tennant's, Czechvar Lager, Kona Pale Ale, Redhook ESB, Widmer Hefeweizen, Land Shark Lager, Jekyll and Hyde, Icelandic Glacial Water, Borba waters, Arizona Iced Tea in 20-oz, Arnold Palmer teas.

Hensley Distributing sells ALL of these items. Stay clear.

I printed out a list at the beginning of this campaign and will not purchase/drink any of these until the campaign's over. (Although now that we've gotten to know the McCains even better, I may never drink them again - why would I ever want to give another dollar to such despicable people?)

[SheilaT]

52. The Hensly company probably

only distributes in Arizona.

Each state has its own peculiar liquor laws. Very few states allow alcohol distributors who cross state lines, although there are going to be exceptions to this. I know for a fact that in Kansas beer from the Guinness Brewery is distributed by Standard Beverage Corporation, and NOT the Hensly family. I feel 99.99% certain that no matter what alcohol you buy in Kansas, no money is going to Cindy or John's pocket.

(Ex-husband works for Standard Beverage Corporation, so I know all sorts of things about the industry, especially the part where each state has peculiar liquor laws)

[faithfulcitizen]

55. oh noes...Michelob? All I drink is mich ultras. Hubby will have to lay off the Beck's too I guess.

x(

[tomg]

63. Too bad about the Leffe Blonde, but that's

life. I can give it up. Actually, thanks for the info.

[EC]

22. That stuff is swill anyway

never drank it...

[vanderBeth]

23. Okay

I don't drink. :)

[pizoxuat]

24. There's way too many awesome American microbreweries

to bother with that piss anyway. I can't drink right now (7 months pregnant) but I'll consider all my years of consuming great American microbrews as a pre-emptive protest that I plan to keep up until I die.

Support American small business, drink better beer!

[Raine1967]

25. We brew our own,

Have been for over a year. No way No how will we buy from that ilk.

They make shit beer and I don't believe in the company.

IF I have to drink, I'll take Sam Adams. I will take a NUMBER of local brews.

But truly... never that pisswater.

(sorry, it is what it is)
:peace:
Raine.

(come try any number of our brews. We have about 10! :D )

[ContinentalOp]

26. This is silly. It's just a distributorship and since I don't live in AZ...

I'm not giving them any money. I never drink Bud but I do like Red Hook, Kona Brewing Company, and Boddingtons, and I'll occasionally drink Kirin, Stella, or even Bass in a pinch if there's nothing better.

[Sebastian Doyle]

48. Well, it's actually not just the disributorship.

There's also Anheuser Busch CEO August Bush III to consider...

http://www.newsmeat.com/ceo_political_donations/August_Busch_III.php

Mostly RePuke donations, including McCrazy (with the occasional nod to a DLC "Democrat")

[Captiosus]

27. Why would I want to drink something that's going to be owned

by inBev anyway? Or have we all forgotten about that already?

Can't say I'm shocked that Cindy McCain is linked to AB who decided to sell out "The Great American Lager" (blech!) to Belgium.

If I HAVE to drink, I take a page from Sammy Hagar's book, anyway:
Mas Tequila!

[Sebastian Doyle]

42. Drink tequila if you must, but not Hagar's

He's a Repuke too.

http://www.newsmeat.com/celebrity_political_donations/Sammy_Hagar.php

[Richardo]

31. I can't - I already don't drink A-B products

Ever.

[snake in the grass]

32. I don't have that problem.

I only drink the original:



This is a good illustration of why Europeans are resentful of the U.S. The Czech beer Budvar, or Budweiser - the Germanic name of the Czech town were it was first brewed in 1795, is the original beer. Anheuser-Busch simply stole the name and to some extent the bottle design in 1876 to sell their swill. The two companies have been at it ever since. In the U.S. you can buy the Budweiser import under the name 'Czechvar' but the catch is that Anheuser-Busch is the distributor. Therefore, I would suggest to the U.S. members of DU that you try Pilsner Urquell.



Seriously, if you like beer than there is nothing better than what comes out of Germany or the Czech Republic. This stuff is the real deal. I don't know of any U.S. brand that even comes close (and believe me I have tried them all). U.S. beer is watered down piss.

If you are living in Knuckle Drag U.S.A. you may find it hard to get Urquell or Staropramen (another excellent Czech beer) but surely Beck's is available at the larger grocery stores and although it is definitely not my favorite, it beats the hell out of bottled American piss.

If for some reason I can't get Urquell in the U.S. I switch to wine. U.S. beer does not touch my lips.

Oh, did I mention I don't like U.S. beer?

[ContinentalOp]

36. I don't know what it tastes like in the Czech Republic...

but Urquell in a bottle in the US is pretty mediocre. :shrug:

[AndyTiedye]

39. Fat Tire is Good

The big national brands of American beer uniformly suck.
They suck so bad they had me convinced I simply didn't like beer.

Then I found that European beers didn't suck. And many of the microbrews didn't suck either.

[TooRaLoo]

34. Done! For years actually. I hate shitty beer.

[TheKentuckian]

35. Done, anybody know of a comparable American beer to Samuel Smith's

India Ale and/or Winter Welcome?

[tomg]

64. I don't know if they are comparable,

but if you are looking for a couple of good American IPAs, Sierra and Harpoon. Dogfish 60 Minute IPA is also good.

[hlthe2b]

37. Good Lord... Pledge not to drink Bud, Coors or any other NEOCON

brew!

My suggestion-- nearly any of the fine premium microbrews, largely produced by liberal progressives. Fat Tire and the other New Belgium Brewery Brands get kudos from me, but there are many others. Yup, you pay a bit more, but worth it.

[Starry Messenger]

40. Easy for me.

I live in microbrew shangri-la. I like Anderson Valley beer.

http://www.avbc.com/

[adamuu]

41. that stuff tastes like piss.

i don't drink it even if its the only beer left.

[eshfemme]

43. I already effectively boycott them because I don't drink alcohol.

Sorry but I'm extremely sensitive to aftertaste so I just don't find it tasty unless it's mixed or brewed well.

It's probably a good thing anyway that I don't drink because I probably have a very low tolerance for it.

[terrya]

45. That's certainly no problem. I've grown up and so has my taste in beers.

[doc03]

46. No problem I haven't drank

that donkey piss for years.

[AlCzervik]

47. we didn't even drink Bud in high school, Haffenreffer is a fine vinatge compared to bud.

[codjh9]

54. I never bought 'Busch' beer anyway, but the name was too close to 'Bush' for me. :^)

I even thought about 'Bush' beans, but hey, they taste good. :^) But avoid Coors beer as well - they have a long history of shitty behavior.

[realitythink]

56. The Coors family founded the Heritage Foundation

Do not buy Coors beer.. How about a local craft brew.

Adolf Coors was a grand poobah of the KKK. The family is a nest of right wing vipers to this day.

[codjh9]

60. Thanks - I knew they sucked, but now I see they were worse than I thought!

[blondeatlast]

57. Guess I'm prescient; I've been doing that my entire life. Here's the list of EVERYTHING

they distribute incluing Stella Artois (sorry, gang).

http://www.abwholesaler.com/hensley/home

I'm happy to say my favorites Hefel Weisen, Negra Modelo, and Pilsner Urquell are NOT on their list!

[AlCzervik]

59. have you ever had Pyramid Hefeweizen? Good stuff, brewed in Washington state.

[blondeatlast]

61. I'll check it out. Thanks! nt

[krabigirl]

66. That sucks that they distribute Boddington's and Stella!

[budkin]

58. I don't buy that shit ever.

It's the worst beer in the world.

[dgibby]

62. I think

she only owns the local distributorship in Az, but I could be wrong.

[krabigirl]

65. I prefer Heineken, Newcastle, many other beers besides the ones Cindy owns.
