Message DCLawyer beers 3007 º places 236 º 09:37 Wed 2/25/2015 Originally posted by TheHOFF43 Originally posted by DCLawyer Advertising dollars at work Nope. People like this. 85% of the people don’t buy macros because of advertising. Its cheap. Its available EVERYWHERE. Its easy to drink 12 of these after work on a Tuesday. People who criticize macro drinkers are just as bad as people who criticize craft beer drinkers. cf Heineken

Message TheHOFF43 P beers 2045 º places 169 º 09:40 Wed 2/25/2015 I don’t generally drink macros, fwiw. Will hammer some mich golden light when offered nothing else, but not usually on my own. However, nothing wrong with slamming a case of these when its warm and I’m outside.

WEird as i seem to see much more serious beer forum conversation as opposed to here were "Ritas is kool" threads seem to pop u pall the time Maybe we’re so serious about rating beers sensibly that we need to relax and let off steam in the forum?

Message lithy beers 2996 º places 156 º 11:37 Wed 2/25/2015 Originally posted by beastiefan2k Originally posted by murphym45 If my math is right, AB-Inbev sold about 500,000 barrels of Bud Light Straw-Ber-Rita in 2013. maybe. how did you do that math to get 500k barrels? Twenty-four 12oz bottles to a case. 31 gallons to a barrel. 288 oz to a case, 3967 oz to a barrel. (bottlesoz/bottle and gallons128oz/gallon) ~13.77 cases to a barrel (oz/bbl divided by oz/case) 7,107,259 cases of -Rita is 516,140 bbls of -Rita (total cases divided by cases/bbl) According to 2013 BA stats (which I think is the year the data in the graphic is based on), only 6 breweries, Yuengling, Boston Beer, Sierra Nevada, New Belgium, Craft Brew Alliance, and Spoetzl brewed more than 500k bbls.
