Budweiser American Ale.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

There was a whole year in college where I drank discounted microbrews at one of the four bars on the one block that had anything going on in town. My roommate would eat really spicy hot wings and then complain about how spicy they were, and then I would walk home in the rain, hiccupping and sort of cold. So when Budweiser American Ale came across my desk (dropped from the talons of an eagle draped in the stars and bars) I was skeptical. Once I started drinking though, I had a revelation: it turns out that none of those memories are bad and they are all actually awesome. This beer tastes like generic microbrew, and that tastes like college.
