As most beer drinkers know, American style lagers are generally inexpensive, weak- tasting, and forgettable. They all have similar taste characteristics; similar color; similar complexity; and similar price. There is one exception to the blandness of ...
Pros: A long heritage of quality... Cons: Today the "quality" is largely historical...
Folks who don't know me very well think I'm pre-disposed to hate all Anheuser-Busch products with vehemence and viciousness. Such is not the case, and never has been. I simply don't praise the non-praiseworthy simply based on the pressures of market ...
Imagine, if you will, walking into a music store to pick up a CD or two. You browse the shelves, but all you see are albums by the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, and Brittany Spears. No Beethoven, Mozart, or Wagner. No Beatles, Rolling Stones, or Chicago. In...
I went for a meal with my son last week and we ended up in an 'authentic' New York diner, part of the Frankie & Benny's chain. Nice enough place with nice enough food, but this isn't a restaurant review so we'll dispense with the niceties and get ...
Pros: "Born On" freshness date. Cons: Not worth the extra dollar that one has to pay for this brand.
I haven't really tried Michelob Premium Beer in a long time. I used to drink it, off and on, during the 1980's when it was, indeed, marketed as a premium American beer and heavily promoted on television using music by Eric Clapton or Phil...
Pros: Ice-cold, a surprisingly tasty brew Cons: Doesn't go down as well at a lower temperature, questionable aftertaste
...the idea that 'the best things in life are free' probably originated from a beer drinker. A surprise visit from a friend that includes surprise beer: is anything quite so delightful?
I do blanch if the beer in question is some sort of pale,...
Pros: Beer or Michelob? I'll take both. This beer is smooth as silk and cheap like a dime store suit. It will also fit any meal like hand in glove. Cons: It does cost a bit more than your Budweisers and your Millers, but the extra cost is more than worth it.
The recent collegiate graduations of most of good friends, combined with my general reluctance and marked inability to complete my own studies has left me in a bit of a quagmire, a dilemma if you will.
Pros: Some added body due to extra malt; clean and refreshing Cons: Tastes mass-produced and a bit "cheap" -- probably because it is.
Look on the label of a bottle of this. That's right. Look right there. See it? "Made with imported hops." Well, it tastes like a typical, domestic beer to me, but the fact the folks at Anheuser-Busch make a big deal about "imported hops" suggests one...
Michelob is a very good beer for a number of reasons. Most importantly to all, it is a very smooth beer which means that it goes down easy for the drinker. You can enjoy it while out on the town with friends at a local tavern or you can enjoy a...
Pros: Relatively inexpensive, smooth, the brand is respected Cons: Not much different than a standard macro premium
In the novel "Babbitt" by Sinclair Lewis the title character is a midwestern businessman who is a mindless booster of things and believes his little corner of the world to be as good as, or superior to, any other place in the world, culturally. He is...
Pros: Smooth malt flavor. Not overly expensive. Cons: Weak hops and a harsh alcohol aftertaste.
Let me begin by saying that I've been a fan of Michelob Light for some time now. For the money, I'm not sure a better tasting light beer exists. Naturally I wanted to give the lesser-known Michelob Lager a try as well.
Pros: Retains carbonation, no aftertaste, ergonomic bottle Cons: A bit expensive, fattening
I still remember the old jingle from past Michelob commercials: "Weekends, weekends, were made for Michelob!" Of course, any day of the week is good for this classic American beer. Brewed by the Anheuser-Busch company in Saint Louis, Missouri, this...
Pros: Easy drinking, little aftertaste Cons: A bit flat, looks bad when it's taken out of it's bottle.
Well, it's Friday afternoon, and everyone knows what that means during the last week of classes - time for a beer run. Now, anyone who's bought beer in college knows that there is a fine line between quality and price that moves and sometimes blurs...
Pros: Smooth rich taste with little aftertaste. Cons: None.
During my Friday evening foray through the local grocery store I made my obligatory stop on the beer aisle and as always started looking for a new brew that I have not tried. Tonight I found another winner in Michelob Black & Tan Dark Lager. ...
Pros: Fuller flavor without too much aftertaste Cons: Costs a little more if you REALLY cost conscious
Michelob is probably the best beer on the market in the "Americanized" genre. It has a wonderfully full flavor and goes down suprisingly easy. Bitter or bland aftertaste is not a concern either, despite it being considered and marketed as a...
