I’ll keep an eye out and give it a try. I’ll let you know.

It’s like AB took the taste of Budweiser and Bud Light, split the difference and took the alcohol and calories out. Like they’re catering to two groups of drinkers. Have your laughs, make your fun, I lll take it. Just seeing what others thought of it if you’ve tried it.
I’ve bought 2 12 packs now. Sure, I supplement it with my normal “watery BL beer”.
I won't but there are much better choices for NAs. Check out a company called Athletic Brewing. They have a brew that is a dead ringer for Intuition I-10 with < .05% ABV.
I used to be a heavy drinker.. Now I just settle for the occasional rum & coke or full flavored beer. Don't even care what kind. When the mood strikes, I'd drink anything, but that's few and far between now.. Trying to live a little healthier, so those zero calorie beers I'll have to try..
Until I retire and start doing peyote on the regular..
We need a peyote thread..

I'm somewhat the same. I don't drink liquor very often but if I do I prefer either a good bourbon, good vodka or a good gin. I drink Yuengling Light as my "regular beer" which is only 2.3%. Every now and then I treat myself with a 6 pack of a good dark beer or an IPA.

I used to drink a lot of vodka back in the day.. Used to buy this kind called Rain.. Was pretty good, mixed well..

I've found a couple of nice local dark/red beers since moving out here. Rahr Brothers Texas Red and The Lazy Dogs Sun Slapping Red. And the Sun Slapping Red is 6.7% ABV...bonus.
I've switched from Beck's back to Michelob Light. Not Ultra, just light.

I've been drinking Mich Light recently too. I feel like it got lost when Ultra came out and I missed it.
I like bourbon, recently got a bottle of Bearcat bourbon that's infused with notes of espresso and aromatic bitters. I really like coffee in food and drink so I think I'm really going to enjoy it, but haven't had a chance to pop it open just yet.

Good bourbon, good vodka, good gin yet [BLEEP] beer?

Yuengling is a perfectly acceptable weekend drankin' beer.

None of the establishments I've been to out here have even heard of Yuengling, which was my go to for 25+ years. I've migrated to Shiner Bock which, much like Yuengling, they have on tap just about everywhere as my 'regular' go to. Although I have found a couple of good local reds.

Shiner's not bad, I enjoyed their winter brew while I was out there at Christmas.

Shiner is so heavy! That's a treat to me. I couldn't have that as my regular.

I don't find that it's all that different from Yuengling.

As the Honorable Harry T. Stone once said, "i may have been last on the list Miss Sullivan, but I was on the list."

Me either, but he drinks Ultra on the regular so I'm sure that anything with more body than water is too much.
