I've always hated Budweiser and won't even drink it. Growing up my friends thought i was crazy because i'd drink just about any beer but bud. I hate the taste of that beer and it's cousin Michelob was just as bad IMHO. Maybe it's the rice, i really don't know but how that crap is so popular is beyond me.

I don't think Arrogant Bastard is 80 proof. Same company has another brew called Double Bastard Ale and that ones ABV is around 10% which is pretty potent for a beer.
