Busch light is awful. Any craft beer drinker would agree with that.
Exile’s PR department has now chimed in.

I like that you mention craft beer drinkers. That’s like me saying, Hyundai Elantras are awful cars, any Mercedes GLA owner would agree.

I’ll drink Busch Light all the time during early season tailgates, and I’m a craft beer guy.

I drink it then not because it’s this amazing beer, it’s because it’s light and goes down easy. Perfect tailgating beer.

This is what you have to do if you want a solid day of drinking. If it's a long day of tailgating, I'll usually have a 6er of something I want to drink for flavor and pop one of those every couple of hours. If I want a beer in my hand all day, it really doesn't matter the brand as long as it's light.

He is right that Busch Light is crap and I don't know why people choose to drink it unless you are a broke college student.

Busch Light doesn't even fall into the "cheap beer" price tier anymore, it's almost line priced with Bud, Coors, and Miller. The AB Distributor in Des Moines has figured out how much Blue Smoothies have cut into Bud Light sales and have raised their case price significantly. Doll Distributing is making some really sweet margin on the 24pks. This is also why you don't see the 30 pack in central Iowa.

I'm certain beer snobs are just that, snobs, just to act the part. It's an attention grab and an attempt at cool.
I love a good porterhouse but I wouldn't want it for every meal. Sometimes I crave a handful of chicken nuggets. God bless choices.
I love trying local beers in other cities when traveling. Love trying something new or different. Love having something other than a gas station beer. I like beer. Like a lot. But I'll drink the **** out of Busch Light and love every second of it. Sitting over a hole in the ice catching some fish? Busch Light hits the spot! Grilling some burgers on a hot summer evening? Busch Light is great! Tailgating before the Cyclone game? Let's slam some Busch Lights! I have friends that call be a beer snob when I order a stout when out to eat or something and I don't get it. It's not like I'm sitting there all "Oh yeah, very nice finish! Very flavorful! I'm getting some coffee notes here, interesting." No... like, wtf. My beer critique is "Yep, it's good. I'll have another." Or "Nope, not a fan. Let's try something else." If that makes me a snob, whatever. **** you, I don't care. I just like beer.

Don't drink Busch Light or any light beer generally, but I will disagree with CW. I think the marketing departments are brilliant and appreciate the humor. Sorry if you don't feel like the cool rebels anymore drinking your BL.

Busch Light is the best beer to shot gun!! You don't have time to taste it. It just goes down smooth. I can't shot gun a craft beer.

So all the people likely selffieing/tweeting/FBing with Busch Light in San Antonio in hand aren't seeking attention despite the ****** taste?
