Unlikely Pairings: Bud Light + ?
It’s time to finally get around to reviewing this quality beer. Not only that, but I experimented below with a few variations to enhance its quality, if it’s possible. When purchasing this beer, I was amazed to still find the rare St. Patrick’s Day bottles still available for purchase! Hurrying home, I was ready to give this beer a full analysis. “Here we go!”™

Left to Right: Bud Light, BL + Peach Schnapps, BL + Jägermeister, BL + Ketchup
Now for the trials of pairings. I didn’t know what to expect, especially since the beer is already so good as it is. Going out on a limb, I experimented on 3 variations of things to pair with this quality macro brew.
Jägermeister included that same licorice taste, but I feel it overpowered the beer’s initial flavor too much. Rating: 1 star
The ketchup Bud Light didn’t mix in very well. Instead, it settled to the bottle of the glass. I assume this is because when you add awesome with awesome, there it just too much awesome in one glass. I didn’t notice much of a taste either until I reached the ketchup at the end. Then, it was just a glob of beer-coated ketchup. Rating: 2 stars
Bud Light with Peach Schnapps surprised me the most, and maybe this is because of how similar it is to Bud Light Lime. I would not be opposed to the company creating a Bud Light Peach in the near future. Rating: 5 stars
Bottom line – adding a fruity schnapps is a great enhancement to change it up when having a good time.
