Why do they always start with Bud Light?

kipper, is it still open? BamaVol Jr #3 works for RT and has been sweating the closures until this past week. At this point, most of the 95 stores slated to close have been shuttered.
I've always found at least one beer at RT that I enjoyed drinking. His store only has two taps devoted to craft beers but he has influence on which they are. Like me, he's a dark beer fan but sadly he can't spend a tap on what won't sell.

<rant on> I eat at a lot of different restaurants (and drink at a lot of different bars). If I'm too far from the taps to read the handles, I ask the server to tell me what draft beers are available. They always start with Bud Light and list another 6 beers that taste exactly like it (i.e. no flavor) before they get to anything I would remotely consider putting in my mouth.
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.
