I can't imagine any brewing process tweak fixing Budweiser
What kind of college student were you? A rich one? A lot of us had to slum with the likes of:

MeisterBrau
Keystone
Schmidt's
Old Milwaukee
Rheingold
Red, White and Blue
Ballantine
Black Label
Milwaukee's Best
Blatz


There was also a level below those that were undrinkable even by broke college students (Blatz, Koch's)

Tuborg was cheap, but stood up very well. That and Rheingold were favorites for cheap beer. If I had a little extra money I might have picked up a six of Old Style if the Cubs were on. Another option was efficiency by getting something cheap but strong (Mickey's, Colt 45).

Ice-cold 40 ounce Blatz. Not the 12-ounce bottles - just the 40 ounce bottle.

Went down quick and good.

I did say *since* college. I did drink a fair amount the first few years, but by the time I could purchase it myself at 21 (whoops, did I say that?!), I found myself purchasing imported beer and ale. There was a place near college that sold individual bottles of imported beers and ales, at a time when domestic 6-packs were not allowed to be broken up and sold individually. About that time, the micro-brewery trend started (Samuel Adams in 1984).

I was partial to Sam Adams and Goose Island, but I liked imports like Heineken and Belgian Ales. Negro Modelo was good, too, when I could find it.
