Not sure if you're joking or not. On the off-chance you aren't, obviously tastes differ, but Bud is basically the beer equivalent of gas station coffee. 20 years ago, anyone who wanted a cup of freshly brewed coffee that wasn't stale and over-extracted would be looked at with suspicion. After all, what have you got against have you got against "real" coffee?
But nowadays, you can get a decent cup of coffee almost anywhere, and the only people who drink "gas station" coffee are 60 year old truck drivers with chronic ulcer conditions, and fans of Dunkin' Donuts.
The situation is very similar with beer. It's great that we have all sorts of choices now. Shitty corporate beer actually gives me a stomach ache. Not sure why, but there it is. It's great to have a million different varieties to choose from, and it's great that thousands of people are now employed in the craft/micro beer market.
So get a six-pack of Bud for the beer drinkers who don't like beer, and get a six-pack each of Raison d' Etre, and maybe Bell's Two-Hearted Ale to round out the selection.
