Rauner was supposedly going to follow the lead of predecessor Blagojevic and auction off the pot licenses.

I have been brewing beer for over 20 years and I will say that Budweiser is a well-made beer. However the beer ingredients to water ratio is so low that you might as well serve it ice cold so that any chance of flavors being sensed by a human is nil. Oh wait.

Also, by observation, I am fairly certain that any kind of Lite Beer causes brain damage I am applying for grant to study this and will probably need a few dozen college students.

Do the microbreweries have a trade association with the money to run an ad denouncing Budweiser as 'rice beer'?

I don't have an issue with "macro breweries", I do have an issue with shitty, gawdawful beer like Budweiser.

Why yes, I am a Canadian beer snob, why do you ask?

You understand, of course, this will involve drinking lots of good quality beer.

So Budweiser thinks craft beer drinkers are gonna switch over to their canned piss just so they won't seem wussy? Sounds like a winning strategery to me.

Let's explore some other creative ads using this "reasoning"! Drive Ford Trucks, unless your penis is just too small! Craftsman: Watch out for your thumbs, girlie-man! Are you one of those elitist snobs who eat free-range chicken? Why, when there's McNuggets - now with even more beaks-n-feet!

Gee, I thought the hipsters were all drinking PBR, a brew that makes Bud taste "fruity" by comparison.

$15.00 for a single bottle? I can get a <a href="https:\/\/www.ubuale.com\/_uploads\/site_files\/_cropped\/Big_Slide_Black_Tie.jpg" target="_blank">six pack</a> for less than that.
