Budweiser is the best selling beer in America.

Ah, so popularity is a reliable measure of how good something is?

Budweiser is
consistently ranked as the best beer *of it's style* brewed
in the world.

By whom?

But all those people and all those industry
experts are wrong because only the select few really recognize
Bud for what it is. And of course, you're one of those select
few.

Congratulations on your accomplishment.

Hey, it's easy enough to do (well, for me anyway). I don't fall for
ads with dogs and talking lizards and such, nor do I have a blind
devotion (bordering on fanaticism) for the beers I enjoy. On a hot day
I'll drink a Busch (yes, imagine that), on a cold day it's more likely
to be an ale or stout. (Just between you and me, I've even been known
to drink a Bud when nothing else is available.)

You know, this is all the more funny considering that you are a
self-proclaimed dry fly snob. How would you respond if I were to start
a thread saying that more baitcasting/spinning gear is sold in the U.S.
than flyfishing gear, or that all the experts agree that baitfishing is
the most effective way to catch fish?

This defensiveness on your part wrt your beloved Budweiser is hilarious.
