Info from InBev source: all Budweiser products are made from rice. all Busch products are made from corn. Busch was originally produced with the idea that it would be marketed as a premium product but was priced below the price of Bud when first marketed. It surprisingly sold so well as a cheaper alternative than Bud that AB decided to market it as a cheaper beer. But it was developed as a higher end beer and remains the only beer that is made from corn in the Budweiser family.

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.

Nope. I'm am a self declared beer snob, but it's by no means an attention grab and not nearly an attempt to be cool, so watch the generalizations. I drink craft beer because, guess what, I LIKE it. I don't like all styles, but prefer an IPA or a barrel aged stout because I LIKE them. I don't go around bragging out about it though, or post on message boards about how those who drink Busch Light are lowlifes because they don't drink craft beer. Get a grip man. It's a matter of taste and that's all.

Minus the rice - corn info, exactly what Bud rep said 25 years ago. Originally developed as a premium brand but did't want to cannibalize Michelob and brisk sales due low price point kept in the cheap beer category.

I drink Busch Light, Bud Light, and Mich Ultra. Nothing else. I know they are lower priced. They taste good to me, every bar has them. Im just glad I never got into this expensive beer thing that is popular now. I still can stand Natty Light or PBR.

Way up there
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 thread really brought out the beer pussies! Tell me all about your wine coolers and boozy spritzers too!

I drink all beer because I am American, 37 and I am a man. PBR? Let’s blaze. Busch Light? Fire it up. IPA? Party on. Sours? drunky time.
