Jerad,

It is in the cooler I’m just waiting for something else to blow.
I will either tap that or the dogfish head 90 min. Maybe I should take a poll?

You can’t go wrong with either Jerad, but my vote would be Alpha King

So with this new “Budweiser Ale”, how do we order it in public?
Based on my interaction with many, many, MANY local bartenders and waiters (gender neutral), I believe that if you asked, “What kind of Budweiser do you have?”
The answer will start with, “Well we have Budweiser, Bud light, Bud Lime…”
“Yes. I know you have A-B products, but which Budweiser?”
“We have the one and only Budweiser.”
“Is it Budweiser Lager or Budweiser Ale?”
“It’s called Budweiser!”
“Which one do you have?”
“Which one what?”
“Which Budweiser?”
“I don’t understand”
“Is it Budweiser Ale or Lager”
“It’s Budweiser, I don’t know whatcher sayingby ale or lager. We have Budweiser beer.”
And end scene, then drive to Schlafly’s or Stable or somewhere that has bartenders who are just as savy with beer as James Bond is with wines and Cognac.
