Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Beer is one of my favorite beverages. However, I have never really gotten into beer cocktails. Apparently that isn't true for all drinkers of beer, especially in the Latino community. They've been mixing beer and Clamato for generations, or so I have recently found out. Well, word must have gotten out to the beverage companies because Anheuser-Busch and Cadbury Schwepps have recently announced the introduction of Budweiser & Clamato Chelada and Bud Light & Clamato Chelada.Test introductions in initial markets were tremendously successful. So, as of Monday, January 14, 2008, the Chelada cocktail was rolled out nationwide. The drink is to be sold as a 24 ounce single serve can or as 16 ounce -4 pack cans.
This team up from the major beverage makers is aimed at making it easier to get a perfect beer/clamato cocktail. They may also be hoping to bridge cultures, as this combination is mostly a favorite in the Latino community. Chelada is actually a shortening of a phrase that means "my cold beer". If Chelada becomes popular in most demographics, it could be a real unifier for our divided nation. Maybe someone could mention that to our presidential candidates. You never know.

our beer with tomatoe juice, which is good, but Clamato is better. If you like a little zip - try mixing with spicy Clamato - excellent.

1-19-2008 @7:14PM me said... just try it you might love it like i do! it makes beer taste better!
1-15-2008 @9:36AM Iscariote said... Nothing makes me thirsty like Budweiser, tomato juice, and clam juice.
Though to be honest, making bloody marys with Clamato instead of tomato juice is awesome.

1-21-2008 @9:07AM Iscariote said... We tried it this weekend and four of us decided it tastes like old vomit.
1-15-2008 @9:57AM Kassie said... I love a Bloody Buddy as much as the next girl, but seriously, I want to mix it myself. This looks really bad.

It was actually pretty good. It certainly won't become my beverage of choice, but I'll do it again.
I'd never heard of it before, but the idea is kind of like a shandy, I think. Judging by the name, it's probably a hispanic thing.

1-15-2008 @12:59PM Julie said... I look forward to trying it. I already love Clamato and I certainly don't mind having a beer now and again. I just hope it tastes good, usually these things fall way off the mark when it comes to taste.

It tastes like a carbonated Bloody Mary which isn't bad but isn't good either. Who wants to drink this stuff? It really doesn't taste awful after the second sip. Your mouth will adjust to the taste. But in the long run, it is not worth putting two whole tomatoes into your body to drink a 24oz beer.

in the beer section of supermarkets, i dont think there is any room for any more beer, especially for
a new product which probably won't last more than
six months.
by the way what happened to bush ice.
