I heard Willow Park liquor store has them. Had it all winter down in Phoenix. Great beer to have when it's hot out.

Is there any stores in south Calgary? I had this in Vegas in November and haven't been able to find them since.

Had my dad bring back a 24 pack from Montana, love the stuff. According to some websites most liquor stores in Canada should carry it by May 25th :thumbsup:

Fantastic beer. as stated, you can pick it up in either 6 bottles or 12 bottles at Willow Park wines and spirits

I got it from Liquor Depot on High St. in McKenzie Towne.

Does anyone know why they don't come in the aluminum bottles like they do in the States?

Man it was like a flash back tonight.....drinking lime bud light and watching UFC.

Just wish I was there again watching live.

Great fights, great beer, and now finally great weather....could this Saturday have been any better?

Mmmm, had a bunch last night at a house party, goes down mighty fine. I'm pretty sure that before I was smashed I noticed that the Bud Light Lime in the can was 4.2% and in the bottle it was 4.0%. If I was seeing correctly, then that's odd...isn't it?

I Tried some, my cousin brought some back from AZ for me a while back. To me just they taste like someone dropped a couple limes in a light beer lol nothing special, although those were the American versions and I do know however that Canadian and American Bud tastes way different..

dexlargo
05-27-2009, 03:59 PM
Weird - I just randomly bought some of this stuff when I was down in Washington this past weekend. I can confirm the American can is 4.2% alcohol. I thought it was pretty good in the heat.

Had a sixer on the weekend.....well planned on having 6. The host of the bbq talked about how much she loved them in vegas the whole night I had to give her one lol.

I had a 12er of it last weekend, it reminded me of coke lime or something as it has this co2 taste to it with lime. Anyway horrible beer would not buy again...dunno why so many people like it lol. + $28.00 for a 12 so gay.

That's because it is exotic and fun getting it from the US. So much easier buying it at a local Canadian store, and without the hard work of acquiring the product, it's just not as awesome. Still awesome, but not as awesome.

Me and some buddies got this stuff as a joke in Montana last year camping. Got a 6 pack thinking it would be terrible. As soon as we had one, we knew we needed more! 160 BLL's later (between the 4 of us), we all had a new favorite summer beer...

Glad it is now here in Canada!

Bought six pack yesterday, its pretty good. Reminds me of Corona with lime in it, maybe lighter.. :dunno:

After seeing the prices of booze down in Florida in April, it blows my mind how much we pay here.. more than double in most cases. :thumbsdow

$24.99 includes GST and deposit for a 12-pack of BLL from co-op!

I tried this at a BBQ on the weekend.

My expectation was this would taste like a light beer with lime added without the fuss of having to cut-up a lime yourself. Well, my expectation was wrong; this beer tasted and smelled as if a bit of Sprite was mixed together with a light beer.

This is a beer for people who dont like beer.

As a sidenote, lemon or lime wedges were added to Corona's because the clear glass bottle doesnt protect the beer from the light and as a result the beer went bad quicker than if it was in a brown beer bottle. the lemon or lime covers up the taste and smell of beer thats gone bad. If your sitting outside with a bucket of Coronas exposed to the sun on a summer day, the beer can skunk in minutes.

I know the Superstore Liquor store in Signal Hill had a pallet of 12 packs. Limit 4 per person. I think it was like 24 bucks for 12? fairly expensive stuff.

I just bought @ solo in NW Country Hills for $22 I think ....and I totally agree with the Corona and lime it pretty much tastes just like that, its great really cold. I likes.

That shit tastes like diarhea man. It was so bad, 3 of us didn't want to finish the 6 pack we had.

I've had Bud Light Lime in Montana earlier this year... it tasted really good but drinking a 4% beer isn't my thing unless you're just chilling out on a patio somewhere.

Just stopped by there for a 12 pack...$28.99 after taxes and all that. Expensive, but they've got loads of stock if anyone's still looking.

Interesting, I'll have to try it.

I came back recently from Germany where it's very popular to mix your beer with Cola or Fanta 50/50 it actually tastes really good, and unlike mixed drinks here, they don't have the pussy/girly drink stereotype attached to them.

Deetz
06-12-2009, 07:10 PM
I tried it a couple days ago, meh

It was ok, kind of a weak Corona with lime as others have mentioned.

I like Corona better :D

dino_martini
06-13-2009, 02:31 PM
I think I'm going to give this a try next weekend. Yesterday instead of getting BLL, I got Corona. But I opened the first one and it was skunked so bad. Threw off my entire night.

06-13-2009, 02:52 PM
They gotta be cold. But they are an ok sittin around on a sunny afternoon beer.

06-13-2009, 04:17 PM
Anywhere in the South have any in stock?

Places I have tried was - Willow Park Wines and most Liquor Depot.

Willow park wines did tell me all locations are sold out of BLL until July?

This is a beer for people who dont like beer.



I would have to agree with this. It took me a while to start liking beer but I'm not a big fan of Bud Lime. It doesn't really taste like beer at all. I much rather have Alexander Keiths, or a Stella, and not waste $30 for 12.

I love this beer. Only in bottles, not cans though. It goes down so easy, and I don't get bloated. I can put back 6 of these in 2 hours before I have to break the seal. Love it.

It's because its 4%. If you were drinking a man's beer, 6 back and you WILL break the seal. I thought people drank to get drunk?

Haven't tried and and won't ever tried it. I'm not close minded, it's just the principle of the thing.

Good beer does not need to be mixed with lime juice or taste like a damn margarita. Good beer tastes amazing the way it is. I hate Bud light, and I imagine I'm not the only one since they decided to add lime flavor to it so people would drink it.

I'll stick with Keith's, Warsteiner, Urquell and Shiner Bock thanks.

I would but I can't bring my self to pay 28.95 + gst for 12 cans. When for like 25 + gst I can get 12 bottles of Keith's White.

Q-TIP
09-11-2009, 02:53 PM
It's OK. Not super great but decent enough to drink if someone else paid for it.

I am definitely a Keith's fan myself and the BLL isn't even sorta similar.

If I'm gonna pay ridiculous money for beer I'll buy some Kilkenny or Guinness occasionally.

Miller chill is far better and a bit cheaper. They have it at the liquor store on centre st near 16 ave by rogers, and have had it for about 3 weeks now. I brought 2 cases back from the USA, then that week they brought it up here.

Miller Chill is pretty good. Less limey than Bud Light Lime, a little more limey than Big Rock Lime. Right in the middle. $19 + GST at Willow Park is a wicked deal.

Ugh, I'm drinking this right now...But its "3-2 Beer"
I just moved to the states, anyway I discovered cheep beer at the superstore here and turns out its 3.2% by weight.
I didn't realize this at the time as it comes in the same packaging, anyway 12 bucks for an 18 is never too bad.
Shit is disgusting, tastes like pure lime!
The real deal aint bad but man does this stuff taste like piss right now.

09-12-2009, 12:19 AM
way to expensive, I think the novelty has definetly worn off though.. I find it to sweet, and if im feeling a beer, I want a true tasting Budweiser. I consider BLL to be a drink...not a beer. my .02

big rock lime is so much better than the BL lime, and Miller Chill. BL and Miller just taste wayy to limey. If I want lime i'd just get citrus beer like Hoegaarden :thumbsup: or just a good old corona with a wedge of fresh lime.
