I Love St. Patrick's Day, but...

My wife gets a daily e-mail from a local restaurant and food based website. Yesterday's included the following:


[No Green Beer?!
This year while the hoi polloi swill their green-dyed beers, you can be a cut above by responsibly enjoying a decidedly different beverage to toast St. Patrick this weekend. Along with the Germans and Italians, St. Louis has a long and rich Irish heritage. If your favorite pub serves Anheuser-Busch's Bare Knuckle Stout on draft, then celebrate that heritage with an Irish American, a new twist on the classic black-and-tan.

Half Budweiser and half Bare Knuckle Stout, the combination not only tantalizes your taste buds with the rich, toasty flavor the dark stout and the crisp, palate-cleansing taste of the light pilsner, it creates an arresting visual as well: the stout naturally layers on top of the Bud and looks stunning in a traditional pub-style glass.


Sounds pretty bad to me.

I'll pass on that one. Budweisers attempts at craft beers have been bad for a long time..( ex. bud employee here ..we got to taste some stuff that never hit the shelves.)

That remindes me of my trip to Germany during World Cup. 17 days of drinking fantastic beer...except in the stadiums where they served Budwieser...that's right...Budwieser. I thought I was going to puke.

I think I would have cried... no one should be putting that stuff in their bodies... especially when so many better alternatives are easily at hand (ever try Doppel Hirsch? It is sooo good).
