Eight Beers Americans No Longer Drink

Budweiser's spot on that list, of course, saddens me deeply...but I have to think the "Grab Some Buds" campaign is going to improve their sales. That's some of the best beer marketing I've ever seen.

And while Michelob and Michelob Light (a damn good beer, actually) deserve their spot on the list where they are, I'd have to think Michelob Ultra is somewhat to blame for the other two brands' decline. I mean does ABInBev even market these two anymore? Ultra gets huge TV and print campaigns quite regularly while the two originals get no love at all. Same for Bud Select. I never see that advertised while the horrid Bud Select 55 still gets ad dollars to work for them.

And MGD is delicious. I have no idea where Miller Lite comes from in a brewery that could make something as good as this beer. It's a damn shame High Life gets recognizable ads and Miller Lite is ubiquitious but MGD can only land on a "beer we don't drink" list with the connotation that "it was cool in the 70's."
