The kind folks over at Hop Talk alerted me to a series on American Macro-brewed Lagers (beers that you might hear referred to as “piss-water” here at BeerBloggers.com) over at The Brew Site. Thank you, Jon, for reviewing these beers so I don’t have to!
In the series Jon covers the following “beers” (I use the term loosely, and with a sarcastic tone that doesn’t come through quite properly on my LCD):
- Bud Light
- Budweiser
- Budweiser Select
- Busch
- Coors Light
- Coors Original
- Hamm’s
- Icehouse
- Keystone Light
- Miller Genuine Draft
- Miller High Life
- Miller Lite
- Olympia
- Pabst Blue Ribbon
- Rainier
Some might question Jon’s motivations for writing this stuff up. Here was his explanation of the project:
Why? I haven’t seen any real comparative, comprehensive tasting comparison of all of these. Plus, as much as I seek out new beers to try, I’m woefully under-educated when it comes to the macros. Plus, it sounded kind of fun. Plus, well, just because.
