I can drink a High Life when I must. Or a Coors Banquet.

Budweiser? Never.

I can't tell much difference between them. I drink them as cold as possible if I must drink them. PBR the same.

That's odd. They all taste very different, just like wines.

They're really really quite different. Even macroswill tastes differerent.

Miller Products have a distinct woody flavor, Coors products have an almost grapey flavor, and Bud... well, it tastes like it's supposed to-- rice.

I really don't have a great palate when it comes to taste, which is handy at times. I probably could discern a slight difference tasting these blind and maybe I could name them, maybe not. They basically are the same to me. At baseball fantasy camp, they have a tub of beer in the cubhouse, actually in a fridge, and the choices are Bud Light and Mic Ultra. I'd never had the latter so I tried it once, and poured it out. It made Bud Light taste like Guiness.

I was drinking back when Coors was something special in the east, except to me it wasn't. Meh.

One restaurant downtown Athens just off campus had Schlitz Dark which I thought was pretty good at the time. We could find some German like beers in stores but rarely bought them. I remember drinking Red White and Blue a fair bit. I probably killed my taste buds.

Miller, Schlitz, Bud, PBR, Stroh, whatever, all just beer to me. Not very good beer. Cincinnati had "Little Kings" which were tolerable for a bit.

I think macroswill are mostly all bad beer, but I can certainly discern the differences between them.

I've never had enough of Schlitz, PBR, Stroh's, Old style, Hamm's, or whatever else to be able to identify them by flavor, but I can definitely identify the 3 major American macro flagships and their light versions in a blind taste test.

I guess I'm saying they have so little flavor there isn't much to distinguish them, for me, perhaps some very slight differences. I think I could tell them from carbonated water though.

Red, White, & Blue was terrible in my memory
along with "plain label" beer

but, that was 40 years ago

I think it was the cheaper version of Pabst. I really didn't like beer much back then. I fell into a habit of drinking with a buddy in Friday nights around the dorm. We bought whatever was cheapest.

might have been Old Milwaukee
I don't mind a PBR
it was the cheapest

Red White & Blue Beer was a brand of American beer, originally produced by the Pabst Brewing Company and later produced by G. Heileman Brewery of La Crosse, WI. Pre-Prohibition advertisements lauded its "mellow" taste and drinkability. Returning after Prohibition, the brand's name alone would have been a selling point, during the patriotic American sensibilities of World War II and after.
The brand experienced a resurgence in the early 1980s, during the country's economic recession. The Avalanche Bar & Grill, an iconic drinking establishment on the campus of Marquette University, reportedly sold more RWB per capita than any other tavern in America or abroad. Patrons often purchased it (at .50/can) for no other reason than to pour it on the floor, providing a slicker surface for 'naked beer sliding', a late night tradition made famous at The 'Lanche. A series of folksy, radio editorial-style commercials by Harmon R. Whittle poked fun at politicians of the day, suggesting that Red White & Blue Beer might be a less-expensive, more effective means of promoting America abroad, than foreign aid or other programs, as "an honest beer, at an honest price." In any case, sales of the brand climbed by sixty percent, after the advertisements began to air, and store displays began to carry Whittle's signature.
In latter days, the brand was notable for its low price (comparable to Hamm's Beer or Schaefer Beer) and thus its popularity among drinkers on a budget (including college students and low-income persons). Other drinkers spurned the brand, however, giving the beer low ratings and unfavorable comparisons.
Neither Pabst.com nor MillerBrewing.com (Miller has taken over most of Pabst's brewing operations) include the brand on their current rosters, and Red White & Blue Beer is presumed to be out of production. However, a September 16, 2010, article in Business Week ("Keeping Pabst Blue Ribbon Cool") mentioned that the young owners of Pabst are also planning on reviving other "dead" brands they have the rights to, including Red White & Blue Beer. The article features owners Evan and Daren Metropoulos planning their revival of the brand via a patriotic appeal that directly contributes to military charities.
