An Abomination in the Brewing World
First...I find it a necessity, nay, a duty, to inform the public on this evil that has been brought forth.
Click here, if you can stomach (and liver) it
Yes, that's a combination of Budweiser and Clamato, being sold in one can, for general consumption and pleasure. For those who don't know, or have never heard of, Clamato: it is a mix of tomato juice and clam juice (as the name implies), often used in Bloody Marys.
Now, I admit that I despise tomato juice. I hate it with a passion. In fact, I don't like tomato soup. But I digress. Regardless of my feelings on the subject, this combination of tomato juice and clam spit (well, that's kinda what clam juice is) is being added to beer.
I admit to a further note: Budweiser is not my normal beer of choice. Sure, if I'm attending or am planning on attending a social and public function (say, a BBQ), it's a fine general beer. You probably won't offend anyone with it. I would much rather drink it than the other "macro-brews" of the US (Miller and Coors). However, you won't tend to find it in my fridge...just my personal tastes.
But I seriously want to meet the people who decided that this was a good idea...and smack them upside the head with a cast iron skillet. Their beer privileges have been revoked.
I also want to meet the taste testers who said to these eejit marketing dopes, "Yes, this does taste good!"...and smack them all upside the head with the same cast iron skillet. Their beer privileges have been revoked, as well. Perhaps also their tasting licenses.
I mean, for Crissakes, who in their right bleeding minds would green light this project???????
