Light beer was invented to tempt women to drink beer. It's for a woman's taste - or for the woman-like. If you insist on a lawnmower beer, look at one of the Mexican cervesas like Pacifico, Tecate, Sol, Dos Equis, or Victoria. I mean, if you're gonna be a lawn worker, you might as well drink lawn worker beer.
Go back to your linux box. God forbid a man mows his own lawn....
Have never liked Bud Light[never bought any for myself, but have for others coming to the house]. Liked Budweiser from the early days[well before Bud Lt. came out] but later it started giving me terrible headaches. I'd take a Miller Lite over a Bud Light anytime! But if I am buying 'American Lager' which is very rare, it's PBR
I drink beer for the same reason I drink wine: I like it. I control my appetites however, so I don't concern myself with the caloric content of either. I seldom have more than one and almost never more than two anymore. If I want to quench a thirst, I drink water. Light beer just plain doesn't taste good. People are conditioned to like it because what "flavor" it does have is quickly accompanied by an alcohol buzz. It's the same thing at play that makes people think burning tobacco tastes good, the same thing that makes a junky think that needle in the arm feels good. It's all a matter of association, that and the fact that the worlds most highly paid practical experts in psychology are occupied coming up with new ways every day to enhance the whole experience in the minds of those who fall for it.
At this point bud light will always be known as tyranny fluid. MBA - murderers of brand assets. I learned that in MBA school. I also learned to stay with your love group which they totally abandoned. The millennial are now in positions of power in corporations and their destructive ideologies will be showing forth. Marxists never make good capitalists.
Support a local brewery. Plenty of craft breweries make outstanding beers in lighter styles.
Ours fold up, in Ga, they have to send their bottled/canned stuff to a distributer, cant sell it outright. So a bottle made in town has to be sent 3 hours away, just to come back and be sold in the same town. I also think the microbrew stuff has become ultra saturated, just too many doing it and too many to choose from, hard to compete and make enough money to stay in business. We've had a few make it in Ga, Creature Comforts, Terrapin, Sweetwater, but they are brewing some really good stuff compared to others.
While some beers might be very good or a personal favorite, I don't even know why they're brought up when a BL replacement is asked for. ???
Many beers are local, & hard to find across the country. Then there's cost. $11 a sixer vs. 7 might be a step up, but not a replacement. To me, a replacement will be something in the same price range with similar availability.
BL, CL, ML. Available anywhere beer is sold. They each cost about a buck a pop, more/less depending on package size. All have 4.2% alc content & avg. at a 100 calories each. Meant for quick drinking, thirst quenching & maybe having several per session. I like Kentucky Coffee Barrel Stout, but it may not be available in the OP's area, & at 8% alc. & a 190 calories per bottle it's hardly a BL replacement. BL might not be much to some, but it has a niche.
