Budweiser has always been over-priced and not very good as far as beer goes.

The “beechwood aged”, is not beechwood barrels, but beechwood chips shoveled into the massive stainless steel aging vats. It will get you drunk if that’s the mission, but Budweiser has never been the “King of Beers” in my book. When the Miller Brewery (Fulton, NY) opened just after Schiltz (Baldwinsville, NY) opened a few miles apart, you could buy a six-pack of either for $2.79. The Schlitz brewery is now AB-Inbev and has been since the mid 1980’s.

Eventually I grew to like Labatt’s Blue, and then came to prefer Saranac Pale Ale over all others. But then again, I don’t drink much beer these days, and have gone over to Wild Turkey and Johnny Walker Black.

Budweiser is not beer. It is a malt beverage at best. Beer is not brewed using rice.
