Wed Mar 05 14:57:08 -0800 2008 61002 im hungry 1 3463739 In Mexico it's common (okay, not common, but not unheard-of either) to mix beer and Clamato. Not being particularly fond of Bud or Clamato, though, I'll give this one a miss. Wed Mar 05 15:19:58 -0800 2008 3463664 58743 alanbarnes 2 3483169 Budweiser Clamato should not in any way be associated with, or detract from a good Michelada!!! Tue Mar 11 15:37:38 -0700 2008 3463739 42572 Eat_Nopal 3 3483492 Nothing against a good michelada. Cerveza, jugo de tomate, salsa Maggi, a squeeze of limon, maybe a shake of salsa picante, and we're good to go. But Clamato--no, thanks. Tue Mar 11 17:29:36 -0700 2008 3483169 58743 alanbarnes 4 3483565 I would never use Clamato or Tomato Juice... I make mine with Clam Juice & Picante from scratch, as well as Limon etc.,... bomb. Tue Mar 11 18:02:25 -0700 2008 3483492 42572 Eat_Nopal 5 3705384 You might be the only person who could persuade me to try one of these things. Tue May 20 11:18:58 -0700 2008 3483565 10809 Josh 1 3468907 A friend of mine buys the beer for a local liquor store. She had me try it blind. It is the most foul liquid I have ever tasted. Fri Mar 07 06:12:55 -0800 2008 3463664 71004 breadfan 1 3475591 In the southwest they have these small cans of Snappy Tom(Not Clamato!) to add some flavor, body and nutrition to a Coors draft and other SW ilk. I think this is just a commercial rip off a long standing SW drinkiing style. Pop a top again and add a Snappy Tom instead! Sun Mar 09 14:12:52 -0700 2008 3463664 93538 Passadumkeg 2 3475941 I love Snappy Tom in a Bloody Mary. I just think it's kind of a weird way for a brewery to try and give some flavor to their beer. Sun Mar 09 16:46:11 -0700 2008 3475591 10737 Bobfrmia 1 3475646 It's called a michelada. it's a fairly common drink in Mexico. In the southern US people have been drinking "bloody beers"(same minus the clam juice) for ages. I think the Bud Micheladas aren't bad.not the same as fresh made but not bad at all. Sun Mar 09 14:38:35 -0700 2008 3463664 106255 chazzerking 2 3475693 Man, as a recovering New Mexican, that was my supper many a Friday night when I was in my 20's. Thank God for Bar Nuts! Sun Mar 09 15:01:04 -0700 2008 3475646 93538 Passadumkeg 3 3479493 yeah ill stick with peanuts too..... Mon Mar 10 16:28:32 -0700 2008 3475693 61002 im hungry 1 3480824 I know several people who swear by this stuff as a hangover cure. I think I'd rather just be hungover. Tue Mar 11 06:19:10 -0700 2008 3463664 173747 hbisson 2 3483012 OK IM COOL WITH THE TOMATO JUICE PART OF IT,its the clam juice part thats kinda weird to me.and i live in a place that has more clams then just about anywhere (rhode island),i just dont know?and i do love clams too,casino,raw ,bakes,boils,pasta,even clam cakes,just not in my beer. Tue Mar 11 14:48:41 -0700 2008 3480824 61002 im hungry 3 3483150 PURDY GOOD WITH VODKA THOUGH!

Wed Mar 12 07:36:07 -0700 2008 3483150 61002 im hungry 1 3705343 I see it in the stores here and lots of store banners for it. Just showed up a couple of months ago. (Tulsa, Oklahoma area). I haven't quite had the interest in trying it yet. Tue May 20 11:11:34 -0700 2008 3463664 165021 Firegoat 1 3705390 I tasted a sample at a party, and it was easily one of the most disgusting things to pass my lips. Tue May 20 11:19:50 -0700 2008 3463664 10809 Josh 2 3706518 Go to sites such as Beer Advocate or RateBeer and read the reviews on this stuff. Some of the comments had me laughing so hard I was in tears. Tue May 20 16:28:32 -0700 2008 3705390 185685 Whisper 3 3707581 Thank you for those sites. I hadn't been to either before and I got a pretty good laugh from the descriptions. Wed May 21 05:01:06 -0700 2008 3706518 165021 Firegoat 1 3706747 I'm from Canada. I think bloody ceasars were invented here and 'clamato' juice took off quite a bit more here than in the US. I think you guys are simply wierded out on the clam issue. I've been drinking beer and clamato for as long as I've been drinking beer (well first it was with tomato juice, then improving with clamato). When others see this, they say "that's disgusting" until they try it...then they say "OK, not bad" (I will admit that simply tasting and liking it still doesn't make a true beer/clamato drinker, though). Now, I wouldn't drink this all night, as it'll fill you up, but one or two are good, OR it really helps getting the beer past the throat on a severe hangover. That said, I don't think it can be properly compared to a michelada. I would imagine that the wording can create product-appeal to the hispanic segment of beer drinkers. I will give Anhauser-Busch credit on the flavoring, though, 'cause its pure clamato and beer. And finally, I think that it will run as a oddity product until lack of sales forces its demise, or at least restricts its distribution to pocket areas.
