Micro-Brews? How about a MACRO-Brew?

Beer is good.

I learned this in college, when even cheap beer was good beer, simply by virtue of the fact that it was beer. At Ohio State back in the seventies, if you were between 18 and 20, you had to buy “3-2 Beer” (3.2 % alcohol), which we called “near-beer”. The thought, of course is that with half the alcohol, we would become less impaired. What lawmakers in Ohio didn’t consider is that we would simply drink twice as much(which we did)

As I’ve grown older, my taste in beer has changed, but I am still not aboard the micro-brew train. It’s not that I don’t like micro-brews…I can swallow them without heaving. It’s just that they all seem heavy to me….some are like drinking glue.

And forget about Guinness. It looks like motor oil with a head. Tasty?….OK…not bad, but sort of like drinking a bottle of Aunt Jemima. WAY too heavy for me.

So, for me, please….keep your micro-brews! I want a MACRO-BREW! Unless it was brewed in a factory the size of an airplane hanger, I will pass. Budweiser, Miller-and all their variations, mass produced and mass marketed-that’s for me.

My new favorite beer is Bud Light Lime. Made me switch from Corona Light (with an actual slice of lime)….now, the lime in my Bud Light Lime is no doubt concocted in a lab next to the factory where the beer is brewed.

Just don’t tell me how it all is made. I ‘d rather drink my macrobrew in ignorant bliss.
