At Salt Lake club and all they have is Bud and Bud Light. Really? 
You know the similarities between Bud and making love in a canoe is? F$&@ing close to water!
That is just sad, guess it is wine today!
-ok

Everybody has their taste. For some reason Bud and Bud Light do sell fairly well on the open market, so more than a few like the products (and the decision for me is not price).
I do agree that if they are down to 2 selections, they should not be the same brew.
Have one either Bud or Bud Light and something else for the other selection. I assume SLC of course has no locals, but many good choices from down in Denver.

Head down the concourse to Squatters or Wasatch to get your local brew…

But yes, at least one that has a darker/happier flavor would be good.

There are many microbrews in the Salt Lake area. There is a tavern in the C concourse in SLC called Squatters Pub that serves some good local stuff. The SLC Crown Room used to be the #1 airport club for beer drinkers in the USA--they would have at least 15 choices in there, most of which were local microbrews. They also used to have Krusovice dark beer from the Czech Republic in big bottles.

When you walk in the front door of the SLC club and hear a plaintiff wail, it is Lincoln crying as RA squeezes pennies on Va Ave.
Ever put a penny on a railroad track to see what a fright train could do to it? Va Ave can squeeze one even flatter.

I guess this is part of the supposed "upgrades" coming later this year to a Sky Club near you.

But, if it happens, Va Ave (and some here) will tout this as a magnanimous gesture... conveniently forgetting that this would be just another return of something that had previously been taken away.
