I honestly do my best to be fair when I review a beer. I also go in with the idea that you have no idea what anything tastes like until you try it so you never know. I have found decent and inexpensive beers that most beer bloggers would never even poop on much less drink. Yes, I said poop. Sorry I have been hanging out with my daughter today.
Anyway, my buddy Scott Schwin was attending a chili cook-off and told me he had picked up some Bud Light Platinum to take with him to try. I told him to bring me a bottle so I could review. You never know right?
The one thing that the Bud people are really good at is marketing. They should be considering they spend millions doing it. The Bud Light Platinum website shows a bunch of "cool" white hipster looking people with tats and funky hair color enjoying themselves drinking BLP. Oh, and there is one black dude. Gotta have him. Just in case. Poor guy. So far they are telling me that I'm not cool unless I am drinking this beer with hipsters while listening to Bon Iver and that I could have more fun if I did. They are also telling me I should tell Twitter that I will #MakeItPlatinum.
The website claims that BLP has "reinvented the category of light beer". I think they have truly achieved that claim. By making a "light" beer that has more calories(137) than Busch, Milwaukee's Best(Da Beast), Flying Dog Tire Bite Golden Ale and only 8 more calories than Yuengling. All NON light beers. I can burn 8 calories by lifting the glass to my mouth. How is this a light beer? I'm confused.
I'll be honest I'll let my confusion go away because it really doesn't matter. This beer sucks. If any of you at Southern Eagle try and contact me saying this is a good beer you are a liar. You and I both know this beer is garbage and will not last. If it does than America is doomed. Continue stocking the shelves with the local beers you guys are grabbing up!!
I will NOT review this beer. It is undeserved of anymore of my attention. Shame on you Budweiser for making your brewmasters make this beer. You are truly wasting their talents. I REFUSE to #MakeItPlatinum. That is all.
Cheers!

I'll try and review some cheap beers (Big Flats anyone) but I refuse to spend any money on this one. Maybe if one falls into my lap like it did yours I'll give it a taste. Maybe.
Love the unvarnished review! "This beer sucks" made me laugh, and frankly it's no surprise that a product of a megabrewer like Budweiser would suck. Love it that you're not afraid to say so.
LMAO it's so funny because I know people who think they are so cool because they are "on that Bud Light Platinum." Really? It's freakin' Bud Light! That's hilarious about the calorie content, too! Wannabe hipsters all over the U.S. will be getting chubby and not know the reason.
Tantrum much?
You beer snobs are full of &$^% and yourselves. BLP has a full bodied taste and packs a big bang. It is totally drinkable and anyone who refuses to even try it is just lame!
Dear Anonymous,
I tried it. It sucked. I'm glad you like it though. If you don't like my opinion don't read my blog. And beer snob? It is clear you DO NOT read this blog.
Cheers!

PS If you think BLP is "full bodied" and "packs a big bang" you should try more beers.
Cheers!

Im no beer expert, but I thought it was taste good. a little bit pricey though. lol
You don't need to be a beer expert to know what you like. I didn't like it at all but who cares in the end. We should all drink what we like right? I would always recommend you try and support local first though!
Cheers!

I'm drinking a BLP right now. It's been sold out every time I've tried to buy it(which is at least once since the Superbowl three months ago). I saw that the store was selling them individually and I jumped on it since I didn't want to spend much money if I hated the beer. I am surprised that it doesn't have the traditional Budweiser rice flavor, but it really doesn't have much flavor anyway. I will say that the blue bottles are really cool, and any light beer that has 6% alcohol puts it in a class by itself. However, I won't drink another one of these for the taste.
