Ok, I will attempt (albeit half-heartedly) to come to the defense of Budweiser and the other beers that are nearly indistinguishable from it (e.g. Coors, Miller, etc.).  Granted they're not exactly what I would call delicious, but they're not bad, and in certain specific situations, they're exactly the right thing to drink.  Those situations are:

1.) When you're buying for people who don't like beer that much and would be perfectly happy with Bud and slightly annoyed when you tried to explain why your local microbrew is superior.

2.) When you're eating vast amounts of spicy food, and need something slightly more interesting than water (but only slightly) to wash it down.  (E.g. buffalo wings or Maryland-style crab feasts)

3.) When you've just finished mowing the lawn or doing a 10-mile hike.  At that moment, nothing tastes better than a really cold, extremely light-bodied beer.  (My dad calls them "lawn-mowing beers" and keeps a few MGDs around just for that purpose.)

Don't forget about helping people move in July and August. Just about the only thing that will do is Bud or MGD. Is Michelob Ultra smug? I've never tried it but its commercials appeal to the smugosphere.

Beer never has to be defended. Beer, in the words of the great American diplomat, inventor, syphilitic and politician, Ben Franklin, " is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
