Modelo vs. Bud Light

[Kurt]

Modelo is awesome beer. Well made Austrian style lager brewed with corn.

Bud Light is the shit beer that everyone made fun of Americans for drinking. I only use it for boiling bratwurst before grilling.

Bud Light gave a custom six pack to a transexual and the dipshits went apeshit. So they switched to a better beer, Modelo.

Go woke and Go Broke except Bud Light and Modelo are both owned by InBev and Modelo has always cost more.

So buy InBev stock. Their revenue is growing. Only local Bud distributers are being hit.

I admire Garth Brooks for making a point of serving Bud Light at his joint in Nashville.

With Kid Rock’s bar located in the same hellscape of Lower Broadway (it used to be a magical place, but it’s overdeveloped now and unless you enjoy dodging projectile vomit and copious bachelorette parties it’s not so fun anymore) it points to the absurdity of America these days.

Kid Rock, who grew up rich in the wealthy suburbs of Michigan and now poses as a redneck vs. Garth who is a dyed in the wool Okie who serves Bud Light because in his words he “likes diversity”. Plain and simple. Boom. Garth Brooks for the win.

I read recently that the Bud Light controversy was designed by the beer overlords as a strategic psy-ops plan to phase out Bud Light so they could sell a more expensive beer. Ergo, boycott Bud Light. To wit, buy Modelo.

In the fairly recent past there was a GOP congressman who wanted to pass legislation to make boycotts illegal. How would that work anyway? Force people to shop at Hobby Lobby and dine at Chick-Fil-A? Since I have never bought Bud Light would I be in trouble?

The irrationality and hysterical reactions driven by the MAGA herd is full-blown apeshit and an embarrassment to this country.

Happy 4th of July!

I prefer Modelo, our go-to most of Mexico, and south, unless there were any local craft beers available. Being fancy-pants and all

On that note, one of the engineers down in Chile (we both worked in a lot of the same places International, just not at the same time) is this bi-polar cat with his own brewery out on Vancouver Island, trying to make a go of it. We hit craft beer outlets all over Chile with him. He tried to enlighten us with the finer points of beer. We listened politely. His wife is a helo pilot so he just quit the industry to concentrate on his brewery.

Mexican beer is awesome.

The Austrian Jewish brewers fled there in the 1930s.

Victoria Lager is my favorite, Corona Familiar 32oz bottles are spectacular, especially if you homebrew. Crappiest is Sol and Corona Extra, but those are still better than Bud Light.

I've heard that some places in Mexico do a "Mead" made with Agave nectar....I'd be curious to try that but it would cost a bazillion dollars to brew even a gallon of it here.

There are some good beers all over Latin America but can't think of names right now. There is a popular one in Chile with a very obvious name that wasn't bad.

There is also for non alcoholics a foul thing in Peru called Inca Cola.

Anyways the whole Bud Light thing baffles me, but I guess a bunch of people need to be welcomed to cancel culture. Doubt Inbev will be affected much.

I do a little business with a company that prints Bud Light packaging. Yesterday one of their truck drivers was here doing a pickup and was telling me that they had a lot of mandatory overtime to reprint the Bud Light packaging. Massive runs going to recycling (probably trash). So stupid.

I think the US Modelo is owned by someone else and not by transhimer Bucsh. Either way, the whole conservative backlash to all things woke is pretty funny. I would jump on the bandwagon myself but American beer is a no no, light beer if for pussys, we don't have Target in England, and I haven't found Disney to be entertaining since the 90,s.

Oh well. Perhaps Dillan will stop off in Mexico on his way back from Peru and endorse Tequila.

Yep, you are correct. There are two Modelo Breweries brewing the same beer but owned by different groups. InBev owns AB and Modelo for all places except the US. Constellation Brands owns Modelo here in the US.

So I was wrong earlier.

But Constellation Brands has a pretty notable Diversity Program.

"Stellar Pride’s mission is to advocate for employees of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities through inclusive policies and practices and by conducting education and engagement activities internally and externally."

If only someone would come out with a $30 six pack of non-Woke beer.

Well, $20 but shipping is over $10

4.8% ABV

That’s pulque. It’s made in small batches and consumed in pulquerias, though in central Mexico I saw a rough man with very bad teeth selling it out of a big metal container outside the tents of a big traveling market of various vendors that comes through town once a week. People were lining up to buy shots they’d drink on the spot. I figured this man was probably known far and wide for his pulque.

How is it?

I never tried it. My mother liked it, but she also liked Port and Madeira, which I can’t get a taste for.
