      If that’s premium what isn’t premium? Steel reserve? That’s just malt Coors with different marketing. Micky’s? That’s just malt Miller with different marketing. 10 barrel? That bud light wearing 2010’s hipster clothes.

      I think we’re giving these brand too much credit with the word premium.

        They gave it the title of premium, not the consumer. If they labeled it as waste runoff it wouldn’t sell as well.

        remind me of a joke… an Irishman, an American, and a Belgian walk into a bar.

        The American orders a Miller Lite and the Belgian orders a Stella. Bartender asks the Irishman what he wants and he asks for a glass of water.

        The American turns to the Irishman, puzzled, and asks, “Aren’t you going to order a Guinness?” The Irishman looks at the beers on the table and responds, “Well, if you two aren’t drinking, I’m not gonna drink on my own”
