Oh my God! Michelob Dry? Or any Michelob? Give me Bud or Coors, even Rolling Rock if we're gonna drink gussied-up river water.

Bud just makes me want to pee, as does the 4.2% version of Millers we get here in the UK. Michelob does not. In fact that would be a great strap line for their advertising : "Michelob. It won't make you want to pee immeadiately"

oh hey, if you had Michelob, you were livin' up town ;-) Whoever said it was so 70's is right on. It was a cut above Coors, Bud, Miller, definitely. It was more expensive, for one, and it tasted *smoother*.. to our teenage taste buds.

I'm a total snot now. All the mega-brews taste like swill to me. But if I find myself on a tropical island, (just like I did when I went to American Samoa) where its 90° and I'm sitting under a palm-leaf thatched umbrella in a deck chair buried into the sand staring out at azure seas, and Bud is the only beer... I'll drink it, you betcha.

In fact, when I was in Samoa, we drank Vailima when we could get our hands on it, brewed in western Samoa, slightly better than Bud, definitely in the pilsner style.

Born Free, Now Expensive

If you like dry finish beer, look for a French import called "77". I only tried it once, many years ago before the dry beer fad came and went, but I recall it having a dry finish and being quite tasty.
