I wish I was responsible for training servers across the world. That would be one of my rules. Of course you have Bud Light and its clones. No one asks what's on tap because they want a Bud Light. Start with the outliers and stop wasting the customers' time.< rant off>
Well, ahh, hmm, given that it's the FIFTH BEST SELLING BEER IN THE ***** WORLD and the top selling beer in the US, I'd say it probably has to do with the likelihood of someone buying it.
