It would be more accurate to say that Budweiser is nearly flavorless, which is undesirable for grown-up beer drinkers.
On the other hand, Budweiser artist sponsorships have helped the careers of many musicians, unlike any of the brews that I enjoy. -----Original Message----- From: Jon Murphy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2005 10:27 PM To: Stuart LeBlanc; Renaissance Lute List; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Gone 'the whole hog'! >What would you > expect from Budweiser? I would hope they could make something good, they make a very bad beer. (Not a fair comment, they make Michelob which may not be great, but it is drinkable - Bud itself, however, is so thin that I won't drink beer if it is the only offering, as it will be at my 48th college reunion next weekend as Bud has the franchise). Do you know how much Clydesdales eat? and eliminate? Years ago the annual Reunions P-Rade at Princeton was led by the Budweiser wagon with the eight Clydesdales, before political correctness made them stop the "advertising of drinking". The parade is led by the 25th year reunion class, and at mine the Bud wagon was still in front. Try keeping your shoes clean when walking two miles in a group behind eight Clydedales. We never noticed it before as we were at the back of the parade and the mess was already mushed into the ground. And now it is gone, sadly, as the administrators prefer to pretend that the lads aren't back there to share a few beers with old buddies - but to attend University lectures on the humanities and politics. What a canard, politics and humanities are important on a day to day basis - but should go out the window when old friends meet from far flung places and only once a year (and most only every five years). Ed Nell is a devout Socialist professor at The New School, I am a somewhat devout capitalist and conservative. We both wrestled, he at the college level and me at prep school. Should we wrestle with our political differences at our Reunion, or should we share our friendship of many years. Sorry, I digressed. I beg your indulgence, but this might apply to the thread "the list" which I also replied to. I could just not send this, but I think I will send it (as I'm full of good beer, Molson's - call me a chauvanist Yankee on politics, but a chauvanist Canadian as to taste in beer). There is a time and a place for everything, and all discussions. And sometimes it is of value to bring up a topic that is not generally appropriate. Do it with manners and it will be either followed up or gently put off. Do it harshly and you will raise the hackles of the assembled multitude. The sun is rising, and I am the fool for staying up all night. But not that much the fool, the forecast is rain and I've nothing to do tomorrow (oops, this morning). Best, Jon To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
