I know a guy who brews beer and he says some of the lighter American beers are harder to make consistently than the higher hopped beers. He said Budweiser is not an easy beer to make and they even age it with beechwood. Anheuser Bush even grows their own beechwood trees for that process.
He said those types of beers were popular when most people worked blue collar jobs and spent a lot of time out in the sun and heat. You wanted a lighter beer for those conditions. Now people have developed a taste for heavier higher hopped beers. So maybe the beer isn't shit but it was made for a different customer base in a different time. We live much differently now than our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents did.
