Camping this weekend and i'm looking to stock up. I tried 5 different liqour stores this past weekend and all of them were sold out.

If anyone knows of any liqour stores that are currently in stock please let me know! Thanks

Grab some Miller Chill down there instead. Way better than Bud Light Lime. Actually tastes like beer with lime, not water with lime.

That is actually the reason why I want Bud Lime, its the closest thing we have to Miller Chill in Canada. I can drink Miller Chill all day! And the bottle is cool too. haha.

I tried ordering it at Earls the other night. Somone else took the last bottle! That bastard!

Anyway, I got a Bud Light and 4 slices of lime. Worked for me! I heard that most of Alberta is sold right out of it!

not sure why there is so much hype about this... it's crazy! I was at the co-op liqour store on macleod near heritage tonight, and as you walk in they have a marker board that says "no bud light lime." hahah! they must've been getting a million people asking for it.

There is a liquor store in the plaza at 17th ave and 37st sw (where the tim horton's is) that had an entire pallet, last time I was in there.


Maybe I should go and buy it all up, then resell the shit here? :)

Why you girls like this sissy beer? :poosie:

Is it just b/c it is new and 'different'?

If you want a change, try the different varieties of beer you can find a liquor stores in the 500ml cans. Great beers can be had from all over the world, instead of this puke ass American crap.:facepalm:

FYI, it's brewed and imported from England. It's actually better tasting than the one's the US gets which is brewed domestically.

correct, blame the government by undershooting the demand for this stuff.. I filled in in a liquor store and it was a pain trying to deal with all the complaints for not having any in stock.

They re-released a large batch on Tuesday, some places will get their hands on it, most won't still. They're now limiting 1 pallet max per distributor.

Big Rock came out with their own version of a lime beer. I tried it last night and its disgusting...wouldn't recommend it.

So has anyone been able to find any BL in the SW? I would like to give it a try tonight. If not I guess I will just revert back to Corona or something.

Only beer that should come with a lemon/lime is a Hefeweizen.
The only reason you put lime in corona or other stuff is because its gargage piss water that needs a flavor of some kind.

Stores should have it shortly, BLL became available on Connect Tuesday night, so places should get them fri/sat/mon...keep your eyes open...they also have cans now.

Went to the liquor store next to the bottle depot on 26ave and 37st sw yesterday night. Picked up a 12 pack of BLL in CANS. Didn't know they even came in cans. Interesting beer, but I'd like to try the bottles first because I think cans give beer a slightly funky taste.

Instead of yapping about the bottles in the trunk of my bmw and the wind going through my hair...:facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

I found some at the Willow Park Liquor joint in the hood.

Williow Park Liquor Store
3111 - 17th Ave SE

Across the street from the A&W.

Cans only and pretty pricey - $25 for a case of 12 cans.

They have lots there.

Took a peek in the liqour depot in West Hills near the Safeway/Rona/Petland. They say they will have more in stock on Thursday :thumbsup:

Looks like I will drink Mikes Hard tomorrow.

Haha, it's not bad for a couple on the patio but it's such a chick drink. If you're a guy and you're searching it out I really think you need to try some more quality beers that don't come from the major brands out there.

Saw it at Cranston Liquor store this weekend (in cans). $16 for a 6 pack and $30 for 12. Definately not worth the money. Tastes like lime soda. :thumbsdow

06-26-2009, 12:21 AM
they are over rated taste like pop

06-26-2009, 12:49 AM

I guess it caters to those who don't like the taste of beer. I prefer a corona with a lime in it over this lime koolaid any day.

if you are going out of town...buy BLL from small towns...they aren't that popular outside of Calgary.

Was in Spirit River yesterday, my co-workers bought 5 cases of BLL and loaded then on our plane back to Calgary :rofl:

06-26-2009, 10:25 AM
I bought a 12 pack and my first impression was that although it was good, it tasted like 90% lime 10% beer. It tasted pretty much exactly like a cooler, and goes down pretty easy. I was wondering how much sugar was in them, though. Also, at $30 for a 12 pack, I'd much rather be drinking a decent Belgian beer haha. I didn't mind it, but I won't be buying anymore of it. I don't understand all the hype personally.

skandalouz_08
06-26-2009, 10:49 AM
I found some at the Coop in Forest Lawn, bought a couple boxes. Yes its expensive but I love it for a relaxing patio beer.

I've also tried the Big Rock Lime and thoguht it was disgusting. Not worth buying that imo

R-Audi
06-26-2009, 10:51 AM
I much prefer Big Rocks.. where the above post says BL is 90 Lime/10 beer, I think the BR is more of the 60 beer/40 lime. Its more of a subtle aftertaste...
I know I'll be sticking with the Big Rock one!!

cityhunter2501
06-26-2009, 10:56 AM
to me it tasted like 50% Mountain Dew and 50% beer.

not really my beer...considering I dislike Corona as well.

You could have been drinking this shit in the States for years. It's nothing special. Ooo lime juice already inserted into beer. How original. It's more the million dollar marketing scheme that makes it so trendy.

Tastes like a beer for the pussy's that can't drink regular beer.... another form of Strongbow.... go on now ladies drink it up and by ladies, I mean you fags that think this is the best beer out there. Then go twitter on how Perez Hilton didn't deserve that punch to the face. :cry:

I got a case of Big Rock Lime at the Coop Liquor store next to the South Costco. $23 and change for a 12 pack of bottles.
It's decent. I'm a big Big Rock supporter. I'd rather give them my money.

I can't say that I'd pick it over a Trad, Honey Brown or Grasshopper unless I was sitting on a patio or doing something semi-active outside...

First of all I think the marketing campaign has created a lot of hype, and secondly, it almost doesn't taste like beer at all, so people who don't normally drink beer probably like it.

Finally had a few last night. It literally tasted like corona with lime served over a glass of ice. It's not bad if you like watery beer, but these are definitely not for me. I had like 2 before I had to go back to Kokanees...

S13_Ryan
06-28-2009, 12:17 PM
yep. what the hells all the hype. i squeezed lime juice into a kokanee and a coors light after trying one of these and preffered them better.

Getting wasted on light beer is a guaranteed bad hangover :barf:

OCDP
06-30-2009, 03:17 PM
My take, it's good to have 1 or 2 tops. There's no way I could drink a 12. I could BARELY finish 6, I had to push myself.

Bud Light Lime: tastes like lime pop.. there's barely any beer taste to it. Waste of your money, a real beer drinker won't even want to finish a 6'er.. I had to switch back to a pilsener.

Big Rock Lime: tastes like beer at least, with lime twist. this is how it should taste, but again, i couldn't get past 6, the lime flavour honestly gets to be too much.

If you want a really sweet, poppy flavoured "beer" go for Bud Light Lime. If you want a beer that actually tastes like beer with a lime wedge in it, go for Big Rock. Either way, this stuff is too hard to drink in larger quantaties, IMO.

Corona + Lime owns out both, but that's just me.

06-30-2009, 03:28 PM
I'd definitely recommend Big rock lime over BLL. Limeade and beer should never be mixed :(

Hey don't knock Strongbow... its not a beer, its a cider and its a traditional drink

As it comes to it, honestly the bud light lime tastes like lime crush mixed with beer... Its like Smirnoff Ice by Bud

However if you want a good light beer with a citrus taste, I prefer Hoegaarden anyday... or even its domestic copy, the Rickard's white

GQBalla
07-01-2009, 08:20 PM
Hoegaarden is a good beer definitely, but yes i agree bud light lime taste like lime pop -

You had me agreeing with you right up until your comment on Strongbow ;) Strongbow isn't a beer, it's a cider. You'd be beaten and shot by my english friends for knocking strongbow and guiness lol.

I tried bud light lime today for the first time and I can't fathom why people go out of their way to find this beer.... :dunno: The big rock one is even worse imho.

What a stupid post..

A little frustrated are you? Guys like you are hilarious, you're probably a closet homo sexual putting on the big manly front to convince yourself otherwise.

Anyway. BL Lime is ok, and Strongbow is cider not beer you frigging cave man.
