The king of beers

I was in New Orleans recently for a vacation. The first 2 days were so hot and humid, that wine was out of the question. Give me a beer with my poboy. And my beer of choice was obvious, even the presence of many contenders.

Budweiser.

The stuff that advertises on every Super Bowl with horses. Big horses.

I have to thank my friend Steve R. for this as he kept (and keeps) saying Bud is great, as they get the choicest ingredients, given their size commercially. And, begrudgingly, as he kept giving me a case for the holidays, I've come to appreciate Bud. Yes, me, the former "Why do all domestic beers suck?" and "Why are all the mass produced beers so watery and lame?" has completely changed (and lost) his mind.

Budweister. It was much better than the Pabst and the Corona I also tried.

There's a wonderful smoothness with a slighly sweet finish to it. Steve says it has a hint of vanilla, and I agree. I could go on and on, but we're talking a low-end beer and you're already sneering at me, so I'll stop. But next time you need something wash down that oyster or shrimp poboy or fried chicken on a lazy N'Orleans day....
