Bud Ice:
Greetings libation users. Today we explore that beer which is made from the ice of the St. Louis Blues rink, Bud Ice. Since the new arena opened in downtown St. Louis, Budweiser has slowly and meticulously hand chiseled ice out of the rinks’ floor, the ice blocks are taken across downtown to the Anheuser-Busch brewery where they are melted down to a water state, combined with the remaining famous four ingredients that make a Budweiser so special and then bottled in both 12 ounce and 40 ounce bottles to be sold at only the most select vendors who pass rigorous standards and qualifying to sell this special brew that’s made from the ice that such special players as the Great One, Cujo, and the man himself, Brett Hull skated on. Or it could be that this beer is basically Budweiser, put through fractional freezing for distillation and sold cheaper in most corner stores, grocery stores and hood rat hangouts around the country. While fractional freezing is supposed to up the alcohol content of the substance being distilled, Bud Ice contains only .5% more ABV than original Budweiser so nothing special there (especially after Bud Light Platinum). Oh and fractional freezing is illegal in some countries due to the fact that it can concentrate poisonous alcohols that are lost in normal distillation. Either way, poisonous or just cheap beer, I’ll be staying away from it in the future. There are plenty of other cheap and tasty alcoholic beverages to choose from than this one.
