I'd say that you can probably find better beers for the same price,
or cheaper beers that are as good, so why bother with Miller or Bud?

There's no debate. Bud is trying to ram the idea that fresh beer
is good, and they're taking pains to get beer into stores/bars
fast. But overly fresh beer isn't any better than overly stale
beer really.

Keep in mind the off tastes may not be due to how fresh a beer
is, but how well it has been treated. A case of beer left in
the window isn't going to be as good as one stored chilled in a
dark room.

Both of these have too much corn for my tastes...
