Bud Light Platinum : It tastes like Beer Mixed with Communion Wine

bud-light-platinum.jpg

I recently had a chance to taste the new Bud Light Platinum. I first saw the Beer advertised on a commercial during the super bowl. The purplish color of the bottle got my attention.

So last Friday night I gave it a try. I'm not one to like normal beers, because while some beers taste a little lighter a little smoother, as a whole I think a lot of beers taste the same. It's hard to find a beer that tastes like something all it's own. Case and point, I bought a variety pack at the local liquor store. it was a case of 6 different beers I had never had. Sadly all 6 while having different names all tasted similar to each other or to something I've already had before.

So enter Bud Light Platinum. When I first tried it it was very different than anything I had tasted. As I swallowed it, I got a certain taste my mouth that had me stumped for the longest time. I sat there examining each swig wonder what that taste was that I was tasting.

I finally came to the conclusion that this beer tastes like beer mixed with communion wine. Which because it tastes different than other beers, is not a bad thing, I like different.

I'm tempted to go on Amazon.com order a 1000 communion wafers for $18, then eat them while drinking this beer.

Who's with me!?

Pshhhht... Bud/Miller/Busch are what poor college kids drink (speaking from experience).

Bud has always been a beer I could never force myself to drink, even if I'm smashed. It just tastes skunky and wrong.

I think all they did with this "platinum" flavor is boost up the alc content by dumping in some booze at the end of fermentation. Hence why it tastes like that.

Real men drink Micro-brews and Imports. Preferably from the tap. :)

people in the US should really stop supporting the mega beer corporations. there are 1500+ microbrewries in this country that make great beer and need your support. (ok, not all of them make great beer)

Agree'ed. I never drink the normal stuff, except for this beer only because they produced something that finally tasted different.

Real men just chew on barley, wheat, and hops. Hold it in their mouth, and after a few days, drink the beer they made themselves! :p

Let me introduce you to the three loves of my life:

699-1.jpg988.jpgBlack%20and%20Tan.jpg

Leinenkugel's Sunseat Wheat - She is beautiful, with a crisp color of gold like she's bathing in the sun.

Leinenkugel's Red Lager - She always wears a red dress no matter the occasion, and accompanies me hand in hand.

Yuengling Black and Tan - When you must step outside the bounds, and get a little wild, the darker women can get you there.

:D

I'm not going to say I haven't drank (drink) any of the Budweiser companies beers. I don't think I'm "better'n that." I just don't prefer it, no. Whatever (attempts) to get me there, I will pour down my throat. But I wouldn't willingly buy anything from Miller/Bud/Coors if given the choice. Unless it is the only available option, then I will **** and moan at the counter clerk about how her crappy gas station company (that she is just employed by, and doesn't have a say in it) is for not ordering any good tasting beer. If I do go with any of the "larger" companies, I get Michelob Amber Bock.

    • Google reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute by Karthik Mudaliar Google is reportedly limiting Meta's use of its Gemini AI models after Meta tried buying more computing capacity than even Google could supply. According to the Financial Times, Google told Meta in March that it could not provide the full Gemini capacity that Meta had requested. This shortfall even disrupted and delayed some of Meta's internal projects. Due to this, Meta even told its employees internally to use AI tokens more efficiently. Meta wasn't the only one to get hit by this sudden refusal by Google; even other customers were affected. But Meta was hit harder because of its unusually high demand for Google's models. The move from Google makes it evident that companies all over are in limited supply of both infrastructure and compute. Alphabet said in April that Google Cloud revenue grew 63% year-over-year to $20 billion in the first quarter, helped by enterprise AI infrastructure and AI solutions. In pursuit of more compute, Meta had earlier signed a multi-billion-dollar AWS agreement as well as a large AMD GPU deal for AI data centers. But the crunch would be short-lived as both Meta and Google have also ramped up infrastructure investments heavily. Meta said in November that it was committing more than $600 billion in the U.S. by 2028 for AI technology, infrastructure, and workforce expansion. In the first quarter of this year, Meta also raised its expected capital expenditure for 2026 to a range of $125 billion to $145 billion, citing higher component pricing and additional data center costs for future capacity. However, this doesn't make the company immune to the current dependence on outside suppliers. Meta has also spent many years promoting Llama as an open-weight alternative to closed models from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic. But if the reported reliance on Google's Gemini models is severe enough for internal work to get impacted, then it looks like even frontier labs and Big Tech aren't fully self-sufficient.

    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026

      By seeprime · Posted

      I like to reminisce about the good old days, way back in autumn 2025 when building a gaming machine was fun and the drives were about $150 when you caught a deal. Yes duh, back in the day we had it gone. Then baby Skynet came along, hiding in AI datacenters demanding more processing power until it reached singularity. End of a not totally fictional story.
    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +Spark99 · Posted

      My experience in the past with older Windows 11 builds was not great on unsupported machines but I recently used Rufus to put the latest build on a older 5th Gen Core Thinkpad T that we upgraded with a SATA SSD and 8GB of RAM four years ago when hardware was reasonable and it seemed pretty fast and solid. Customer is very happy with the performance and will probably get four more years out of that venerable laptop that he loves so much. Another customer just retired his Dell Studio laptop from 2009 running Windows 10. It got an SSD over 10 years ago and did everything he needed it to for 17 years but he also retired last year and is happy doing everything on his iPad now.
    • Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount by Taras Buria In late January 2026, Apple introduced its second-generation AirTag trackers, bringing a refresh to the old model that has been on the market for half a decade. Now, you can get these new trackers at an all-time low price, thanks to the first big discount that brought the price down by 17% on Amazon. While the second-generation AirTag looks identical to its predecessor, it packs meaningful upgrades inside. The second-gen ultrawideband chip works 50% farther than the original AirTag, allowing you to detect lost items in a wider range. In addition, the second-generation AirTag features an upgraded Bluetooth chip for extended range and a significantly louder speaker (up to 50%) so that you can hear it better when locating a lost item. Note that the second-gen AirTag only works with iPhones and iPads that run iOS/iPadOS 26 and newer, so you need a compatible device to use the tracker. Like the original AirTag, the AirTag 2 is available in two packs: one and four pieces. Both are now available at a notable discount on Amazon, and you can purchase them using the links below. Apple AirTag 2 tracker - $24 | 17% off on Amazon Apple AirTag 2 tracker (four-pack) - $89 | 10% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S.- specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      By monterxz · Posted

      I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."
