Bud. Weis. Er. Maybe you're old enough to remember the famous lizards that debuted during some Super Bowl in the 1990's. Budweiser (http://www.budweiser.com) is known as the "Great American Lager". The "King of Beers". Maybe it was deserving of that moniker back in the day, can't say the same thing about it now.
A Budweiser has a little more ABV than Bud Light, as expected (5.0% range). The beer is also more full bodied and packs more flavor than its Light counterpart. I could drink this more than a Bud Light, but that's not saying much since I'd drink almost anything over a Bud Light.
I read an article that Budweiser doesn't use the same hops in an effort to cut costs, and that for the "Great American Lager", they're Bud Lighting it because it appeals better to their overseas counterparts. Capitalism at its finest. I haven't had a Budweiser in a while, but I'm also not interested in supporting InBev either (I might indirectly support them, just don't expect me to buy a Budweiser anytime soon). Don't be cheap. Bad, bad, bad!
