All apologies to the football team, but I'm headed up to Laramie tomorrow for the basketball game, leaving any hope of a football watch party non-existent. That doesn't mean that beer isn't on the menu, however. I fully plan on getting up to the home of the Cowboys with more than enough time to put away a few before entering the stadium. When in Rome...
So, what will I be drinking? Well, I think it needs to fit with the ouvre of the region. I hate to be stereotypical, but, when I think Wyoming (after I get past the gusting winds and barren terrain), I think rednecks hunting game. With that in mind, there's only one option: Busch in a trophy/camo can. It's this week's gameday beer-o-the-week.
Oh my, is this a nasty pick. Not only am I painting with a broad brush about our rural neighbors to the north, but Busch is a truly horrible beverage. This is the stuff that Budweiser doesn't think is good enough to get the full 'King of Beers' treatment, watered down and re-packaged for consumption. An 'economy' version of an already terrible product. *LOL*, I bet you weren't expecting to see this pop up in the beer post today.
This is, of course, an American adjunct lager, otherwise known as a macro-brew. The ingredients are sub-par and homogeneous, the taste is off-putting and slightly metallic, and it'll give you a wicked upset stomach. If that isn't a hard sell for this beast, I don't know what is! You can find it everywhere third-rate beers are sold, often in quantities you'd rather not admit to purchasing. Why not buy a rack of these, and get weird!
Happy Friday! Go Buffs, beat the Cowboys (and Ducks too)!

That really isn't stereotyping - that IS Wyoming. And they are proud of it. I don't mind either, as I am an OH (Original Hick). But I've graduated to real beer, and so will not be searching out the Busch 30-packs when I, too, am in Laramie tomorrow.
