Pabst is what white trash drink before they get into brawls.
Pabst was the hipster drink for a while, where yuppie twats would drink it "to be ironic". I seriously can't tell the difference between Budweiser, Miller, Pabst, Michelob, Steel Reserve, Corona, etc - maybe if I tasted them side by side I could. But they are all kind of weak tasteless beers that are vaguely distasteful. I'd put KingFisher and Corona in that category as well. I just never developed a taste for it, and I do drink beer.
Yep, and probably full of rice, which is a violation of pretty much every Beer Purity Standard ever published.
I'm going to disagree. As far as branding Busch is the manliest beer marketing I've seen of any beer.
I don't mind if a drink is adulterated by a "non traditional ingredient". Fusion cooking is great after all, generally. I've had amazing "Chinese food" flavored with Mexican spices. It was just so unusual. I'm sure "Chinese food" generally is flavored with "American spices".
I used to love New Castle, then they something happened to them, they got over priced, and I can't drink a 6 pack without getting that nasty hangover that normally comes from over processed beers like Budweiser. I think they screwed with the formula to keep up with production demand. They were everywhere for a while. Now I don't see them as much. That could be because InBev knocked them off the shelves. Distributors will make their customers not carry other brands. I think that has happened to Anchor Steam and Shiner Bock as well. As I never see those at places that I used to see them.

For example I have replaced Kitchen Boutique(A gravy darkener) with Dark Soy sauce(basically the same thing, but not as bitter if you over do it.)
I find many Savory dishes that will have Soy Sauce and Worstershire sauce.

Yeah, Newcastle was my go to. I've noticed an aftertaste that wasn't there before. I gotta get back into brewing my own shit again.
I swear I have had Boddingtons at least 10 occasions since it's closing in 2005.
I live in ground zero of the IPA world and my local pizza place (Pizza Port) makes great IPA's.

The only time I had Boddington's was when I was in Manchester, England in 1980. I did not know it was even sold outside of Britain.
I also remember around 2017 New Castle being $9.9 a 12 pack. and remembering it was cheap. I thought it was being blown out because it was old. But I guess it was just the last batch of a dead brand at the beverage store. As that was the last time I remember seeing it around.
NewCastle was sold in 2017 and that's when they screwed up:

Although the beer being produced for Newcastle at the Lagunitas facility is still called Newcastle Brown Ale, the Lagunitas-brewed product will feature a different label than that of other Newcastle Brown Ales brewed at 75 breweries around the world and a different recipe.
“It’s a homebrewer’s classic take on an original brown ale,” Tay said. “Lagunitas brewmaster Jeremy Marshall really modernized the recipe, and he’s using American hops like Chinook and Centennial to create something smooth, crisp, and roasty.”
“It’s the Brooklyn dads and the world travelers,” Tay said. “These guys are young. They’re out there enjoying life, and they have affiliation with a brand that has no qualms with making fun of themselves.”
No wonder the last batch I had tasted like a Microbrewfag creation instead of like the Old Classic.
OH

That ain't an English Brown Ale, which is malty with a touch of Fuggles hops. Crisp my ass, it's supposed to be malty and caramel/toffee tones.
macro-brewing my friend,
They destroy everything with the too much hops shit. You only need that much hops if you have insomnia, and it tastes like shit. The perfect amount of hops IMO is a (German) Pilsner
I loathe the term "Micro Brewery" it sounds like a hobbyist farting in a bottle swearing that it adds to the body of the beer.
I avoid them, my daughter's drag me to Micro Breweries, I have never drank any beer at any of them, that made me think I need to go back.
Their names and flavors are always way off in terms of the flavor concurring with the name.
Ale, Pilsner, or Lager.
Most hipsters operating micro breweries are NOT brew masters by any means.
Youngsters today like beers brewed with orange peels and wheat.

I suggest Becks or St Paulie Girl, as both of those are under $12 a 12 pack these days. Where has Butwiper has been pushing the boundaries to how much they could charge for their Cultural Grog. I wouldn't mind seeing Shiner Boc become a huge national brand with a wider distribution than it currently has. Though when I do find it at the Publix here in South Florida, it's around $10.99 or more, for a 6pack. Even Guiness is a dollar cheaper than that on average.
I heard some chime in telling everyone to support their local craft beer brewers. I have never EVER had one single beer from a craft brewer that tasted anything like a old traditional beer recipe. And that's very important to me. I don't want off tastes, and hints of herbs, berries, citrus, or your Xer's vag yeast. Whart ever the fuck they put in there!
The problem I have with local craft beers, they have no respect for the traditional tried and true methods, and just brew a proper Lager, Pilsner, Ale, or Stout. They always have some untraditional ingredients in there, that makes it taste like crap, while they give a cute flavor name, which taste nothing like they suggest. Plus you can factor a good 40% of the cost of their beer goes into their packaging and marketing efforts. They claim they are craft beers, but they are trying like hell to be a major distributor at the expense of not focusing on a product worthy of such hullabaloo. And if I'm at a one more party and there's nothing left in the beer cooler but 9 seltzer fizzy beer, or sour IPAs in the cooler. I'm going loose my mind. Who brings these nasty beers, then proceeds to drink the hosts honest real beers? Nobody likes your soda beer, and IPA leave that crap at home. Who ever is doing that!
