    I agree wholeheartedly, and I will give a nod to your final point. If anything, they are consistent

    I also want to add that Modelo Group is a macro, and Modelo Negro is one of the best examples of a Vienna Lager.

    They brew a very CONSISTENT product on a massive scale. You don't like the recipe. This doesn't mean it isn't a quality product.

    1) I don't see anything factually inaccurate with his statement.

    2) What do you expect him to say on a public forum? That the product he makes (and makes a living from) is bad?

    Does that mean that NASCAR cars are quite slow, rather than fast as NASCAR officials would have us believe?

    What does the dead former president of the Phillippines have to do with it?

    Craft drinkers are still only 5 or 6% of beer drinkers. Everyone else is drinking Bud/Miller/Coors

    This was a particularly ignorant thing for the AB brewmaster to say:

    "Please don't speak on things you are not qualified to speak about."

    This shows that, for all his knowledge of brewing, he has little understanding of the driving force behind the internet and Facebook.:wink:

    Now I understand why you didn't post anything in this thread.

    Jim Koch has a famous quote out there that I can't find right now which fully grants the Budweiser point, but he says it in a pejoritive way which is still accurate. It's a great quote. It must be really hard to make such a reduced flavor/low flavor beer without imperfections leaping out at you.

    So what did you expect him to post? That Budweiser is crappy beer and he's only there for the paycheck? Seeing that employers regularly check facebook, something tells me he MUST toe the company line or he'll be out looking for work elsewhere.

    Just so employers don't regularly check BA, I'll be in the clear. :wink:

    What was the problem? You didn't capitalize in the original post, therefore you didn't mean the former Phillipine president, correct?

    You're really whipping that strawman's ass. If you take a short break from your outrage to read what the comment you posted says you'll find that he doesn't say anything specific about the quality of the beer in his post as it relates to craft beer. He just says that it has a light flavor that doesn't hide flaws and consequently is difficult to brew. All true. Nowhere does he say that this "translates into the quality of the beer".
