I am neither a connoisseur nor regular consumer of beer, though I like it. In my callow (whatever that means) youth , I consumed various American too-cold soda-water-fizzy beers. I remember Pabst and Schlitz being shit, and maybe I favored Budweiser because my father did, and maybe settled on Michelob as the “good stuff” (cool bottles).
Fast forward, and here in 2017 the shit Budweiser from the U.S. (not the supreme Budweiser Budvar) is on display in Tienda Inglesa.
A standard six-pack of 12 ounce (.33 l) bottles rings up at just about USD 10.
A few meters away you can buy a 3-pack of Zillertal (.97 l each).
Almost 50% more of a superior beer for a peso more.
So who would want Budweiser? Maybe someone who thinks it’s a bargain because they advertise it in shopping points?
