Claiming Milwaukee's Best to be bad beer is like claiming Nickelback to be bad rock-n-roll. Of course it is. But it was never trying to be anything more. Nobody is expecting anything fabulous when you can get 24 cans for under 10 bucks.

In the last few years I have had some truly horrible craft brews that made me wish a PBR was around to rinse the awful taste from my mouth. Just because it has a hand drawn label, is made in small batches, and costs a lot more doesn't necessarly make it any better.

Also, why are people who denigrate mass produced beer so well versed in the taste of various types of animal piss?
