Yeah, I've tried Black Crown. I worked for Brown Derby liquor stores for quite awhile and still get to hang and try all the new brews and attend liquor/wine/beer classes. It's great and I get to try everything without dropping cash on a questionable six pack!
But anyway, I don't like the Black Crown. I had one customer who liked it, but other than her, you're the only other I've heard give it a thumbs up. I don't think it's terrible, but certainly no good. ;p
I haven't liked the taste of Budweiser since they sold the company to Belgium. Which is strange because SO MANY good beers come from Belgium. Obviously the general public doesn't taste a change, but there are enough of us who can. There's a new beer brewed out of St. Louis by the one guy who didn't sell his share of the company (or something like that) and has now started a new company that brews the original recipe. I tried it on St. Pattys day and was very pleased. It's the original Budweiser! I can't for the life of me think of the name... but I'll get it from a friend and post if you're curious.
