The last time I was in California I spotted something I couldn’t believe in the beer cooler. At 2 for $5 I had to take them home so I could photograph them and share them with you:
Bud Light & Clamato, Budweiser & Clamato
It appears that Anheuser-Busch had a bizarre brainstorm to combine their famous Budweiser beer with, well, tomatoes and clams. Or as the brewer describes it, these 24 oz cans of tomato-y clammy beer-y goodness combine “Anheuser-Busch’s classic American-style lagers with the spicy, invigorating taste of Clamato Tomato Cocktail, made by Cadbury Schweppes.” [1]
The taste? Yes, I did try it. Once. Imagine the taste of Manhattan clam chowder. Now imagine you took a bowl of that chowder and put it through a blender then chilled it and – here is the important part – you poured it into a perfectly good frosty glass of beer. Now give it a vigorous stir, and taste.
Enough said.
