you've heard it before that "all beer tastes the same" when referring to "factory beer". the best think of these beers as the lowest common denominator with regards to taste, smell and expectations. they were designed with a precarious balancing act in mind which makes a beer that tastes like something, has a buzz inducing quality and is cost effective to make while maximizing profits. add in a little advertising to tell people what they want (and expect) and wha-laa fizzy yellow beer that is consumed by zillions of people. \n\nwhat we found echos our previous findings:\nyou can taste the difference between all four of these beers.\nthey aren't very good when you compare this beers to craft beer.\nin the right context any of these beers could be refreshing.\nif you do your homework you may come to a similar conclusion.\n\nhomework:\nget four factory beers and try them side-by-side-by-side-by-side. you don't have to drink the whole beer. be sure to talk about the things that you are tasting: sweet, bitter, crispness, mouth feel and the carbonation. bonus homework is to compare the same beer in bottles and cans because there is a difference sometimes. the cans are better.\n\nbeer on the show:\nBudweiser, Bud Light, Coors and Coors Light\nDogfish Head Festina Peche\n\ncall the Beer School Robot!\n424-242-3375\n\nBeer School everywhere:\nhttp://www.facebook.com/beerschool\nhttp://youtube.com/beerschool\n\nFollow JohnFoster and BeerSchool on Twitter.com\n\nBe sure to visit City Beer Store, Toronado and 21st Amendment in San Francisco, CA\nEmail us at info@beerschool.com\n\nGood noon!
