Michelob Ultra: What do the people think?

The official beer of the WSL gets reviewed!

There is finnnnnnnnally surf in southern California and it has basically been 876 days since the last swell. Panic is in the air as grown men stumble over their children and grown women accidentally kick their dogs as they rush out the door shouting, “Wait! Do I use warm water or cool water wax?”

I didn’t know either so I logged on to Surfline to check water temperature but got distracted by the website being wrapped, top to bottom, with Michelob Ultra branding. The beer of the bourgeoisie.

Beergeoisie.

And many videos feat. Seabass Zietz all with less than 500 views. Would you like to watch one?

A bald-faced attempt to appeal to The People™ if I’ve ever seen one. Parents not making enough money, boy orphaned, getting kicked while down, getting shouted at, whilst in tube, by a beyond ecstatic Pete Mel… etc.

A tough looking life but let’s be honest. Let’s be real honest. The Garden Isle is a land of endless bounty and Seabass Zietz lives a life of eternal privilege.

But maybe I’ve been too hard on Michelob Ultra. Maybe it really is a beer of the people too. So let’s watch the people drink and review.

Michelob Ultra Review

I guess I’ve been too hard.

Low calorie beer!? FUCK OFF YOU LAND OF CHEETO DISGRACES. Just get a bigger board and enjoy a proper pint.

The people drink PBR. It’s $7.99 a 12 pack at your local Circle K and it’s a glorious rectangle of patriotic intoxication. It’s red white and blue, and it will fuck you up too.

Michelob Ultra is produced by Anheuser-Busch, which is an absolutely colossal corporation. A-B owns almost every beer anyone ever drinks in the USA, including Corona, which is probably why it’s OK for both beers to be associated with the CT. In a way it seems foolish even to distinguish between all their brands.

He came to a super local Westside spot two summers ago with his film crew. It was the best I have ever seen it in 8 years of living here. They got footage but I heard Vaughn told them don’t show that to anyone or there will be hell to pay. If you see perfect 6 foot Hanalei in one of his videos it might be an illusion.

I’m thinking SUP fans as they’re a bit doughy / corn (fructose) fed to pilot a board in a wave pool.

I think Miller light has taken over here on the Westside of kauai, followed closely by coors light, keystone light and bud light. I’m a transplant though so I prefer Sierra Nevada.

I would say for locals in Hawaii, it’s Bud Light in the lead by far. With Heineken being broken out for special occasions like weddings and baby luau. You are seeing a lot of Miller Light?

Pure economics. I make 1200 bucks a week banging nails. Most of my buddies make like 800 and that is not too much here with the high cost of living. Coors and bud light are 25 bucks minimum for a 30 pack at big slave. If you go to Costco or Safeway you can get them same price as Miller light but that is a lot of driving. Plus you need all the weed you can smoke to calm your nerves before you get chased out by a huge tiger shark and the Cali indoor shit is all we smoke.

Have the moccasins made you soft Chas? Comfort wear. The People know no comfort. Faithful leader? Or fateful leader? Do you taste the bitter brew of watery suds? Neither do I. Neither do I. Do you have a date with fate? Or a date with destiny? The People wait.

It has a bitter labor camp sweat and Rip Curl wetsuit effluent finish to it. Stout. Very.

Michelob ultra: tastes like club soda splash of Budweiser. Still better than one of those trendy hipster IPAs that taste like a box of band aids.

The People™ in Southern California use only the same bar of cool water wax that’s been melting during the day and resolidifying overnight every day in a baggie in the trunk of their car for the last 3 years…

I’ve only just discovered the joy that is sex wax. Never thought to try it before because I was repressed I guess.
