This is just so he can argue that he tried to slow the spread of Corona.

It looks more and more like a really big prison, forbidding Amercians to make their own choices on what they can drink or consume in general.

Damn it, Tecate is my favorite beer. I'm sure Kroger will have raised their prices tomorrow already.

And they'll slap on a sticker that says "lowest price!" to gaslight you.

Tecate is one of my least favorite beers. It's been a long time since I've had it though, my taste buds have changed, maybe I should try it again.

Corona is not beer. It is piss colored water.

I mostly drink Augustiner or Hacker-dschorr, and those are not even strong beers, but even they have more taste than corona.

There's always at least one of you on here that just can't possibly resist gatekeeping beer anytime a specific brand is mentioned. If you like it, drink it. If you don't, then don't.

Corona is just over advertised pisswater, like Heineken.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Hey, Dutch guy here. Dutch Heineken is disgusting pisswater, export or foreign produced Heineken is even worse. It has a weird plastic after taste, like wtf. Other than that it's lacking taste, so people who don't like beer can drink it. Just like corona and Budd light. There are so many properly crafted beers, thousands of them. Pilsner has the most neutral taste of them all, but even pilsner in the Chech Republic tastes amazing. We've gone over the top with different types of beer these days but it gives us an infinite amount to choose from. Heineken is the worst choice you could make, just like the others I mentioned. Especially with so many amazing other options.
