How about that,Ive grown to enjoy corona light,and its such a staple at beach bars,also many of my props for my tiki bar and concert tailgating are corona stuff,...wonder when this land shark brew will hit the distributers and bars.

I guess that will answer any doubts about retiring!!........A-B will want a return on there investment and what a better way to promote is through a Jimmy Buffett Tour!!

Thanks for posting, Beachbumm...that's the first press release / news story that confirm what we'd heard.

Corona light is one of the funniest beers around because it's irrelevant. Corona Extra is light enough. I think people drink Corona Light because it says Light and a lot of people just like light beers for some reason.

BUT - it does taste better than ALL of the lite beers in the world and I'd rather drink a Corona Light than....ah, you get the point.

one would think that with a name like "Corona Extra", you might get a real beer..

That pretty much answers the question why Jimmy was drinking Bud in the Bama Breeze video now.

JB was drinking Bud in the video? I never really looked. But obviously it wasn't Corona. Ugh. So he's playing in to the corporate monster. I always thought Bud was something you buy when you don't have enough money to get a good beer, the other choices are even worse or you can't find decent bottled water.

Bud (or any of the other usual lame A-B products) and Jimmy Buffett music will never go hand in hand with me. Let's hope, at least, that the Land Shark or whatever it's called will at least be better than Bud. That would be the only exception but it's no promise either.

"The trouble in Margaritaville was triggered by Buffett hooking up with Anheuser-Busch to launch a brew named Land Shark lager.

The name might take some getting used to.

You think Corona is better than Bud? Yikes...

Doesn't AB own a sizable chunk of Corona? If so, what's the big deal?

I think Jimmy started tasting his old sponsor's product, Corona

..and went running to AB begging for a chance to start something new!

Like I said, when there is nothing better around...I'll drink Corona anyday over Bud. But it's barely better.

But if there's Abita Amber, Golen, Fall Fest, Mardi Gras Bock and Christmas Ale around no other beer in the world has a chance.

Of course, the beer in Holland is supreme...

I don't want to p*** anyone off, but...

Who else is REALLY annoyed by "beer elitists"? The "If you don't drink lagers and dark, foreign beers you can't possibly know anything about beer."

Really rubs me the wrong way. Same as with people that say if you don't like the Beatles or Incubus that you can't possibly know good music.

As I said, I'm not calling anyone out, it's just a general comment.

I agree it's an individual call on these things. Whatever floats your boat is what's right for you.

Amen. People should realize we're all different--with different tastes and sensibilities--and that needs to be respected. If we all agreed with each other about what's good and bad the world would be a pretty boring place!

it's more like "you need to drink ales and dark beer..." lagers are just a way to spend money on overpriced water.

who is Incubus?

yum Beer!

Anybody got any extra cold one?

Either way, two of my five roommates this past fall were beer elitists and it got really, really obnoxious after a while. I got to the point where I just said "You know what, I'm working my butt off constantly and I just want a little refreshment, and I don't care if it has a rich, wheaty taste or a full texture; I just want something that tastes good TO ME and that'll give me a buzz." I feel the same way about wine enthusiasts and cigar enthusiasts: it may mean a lot to you, but not to everyone, so don't make them feel bad for not caring as much as you. That's my opinion anyway.

And Incubus is a crappy emo/punk band that a lot of young folks claim is the best band ever. "I swear their songs are about me", etc. They're actually in no way talented, their lyrics aren't in the slightest bit coherent, and all their songs sound the same. But if you run across a fan, they'll tell you that it's the most creative music around and if you don't like it, that means you don't know anything about good music. Total crap.
