Bud Ice Light

Bud Ice LightBeer-a-Day #225

Anheuser-Busch’s exclusive ice-brewing process takes the beer to a temperature below freezing, which leads to the formation of ice crystals in the finishing process that gives Bud Ice and Bud Ice Light their rich, smooth taste.

Just when I thought I was done with macro lagers…

I don’t have high hopes for this one. It’s “light” and there’s that “ice-brewing process”. It’s more like “let’s take a beer with little-to-no flavor and remove some flavor from it”.

Yeah, yeah. “Keep an open mind” and all that.

It’s like water with a little yellow food coloring added. The white head seems to be lasting longer than some other macros I’ve had recently…nevermind. It’s gone. Smells a little bit like rotten pineapple and stale beer. At least it’s not skunked which, considering the funky clear bottle it’s in, is a surprise. (They probably use hop extract.)  It’s flat, and it tastes like a fraternity basement bar smells. I suppose on a really, really hot day this would be fairly refreshing (and your only other option was antifreeze).

Wall of beer cans

Beer can collection/art at Studio on Fire

Boy, that’s pretty.

There’s a better half of a thousand cans up there and darn near all are (diligently) cracked open from the bottom, preserving the original seal. Also out of all the cans hanging, there’s only a handful of duplicates. We are quite proud of this assemblage of our cultural history and all of us, at one time or daily, have to be reminded to get the hell back to work and stop staring into abyss of an unfortunately long-gone and better era.

Studio on Fire is a design and letterpress house in Minneapolis, and they put up this great wall in their office. As if I could do anything like this where I work.
