Thanks for watching - we hope you have a great day!
Agreed on how difficult this is. We did the bud light/coors light/miller lite with a group of us including my buddy who is Mr. Coors light and he couldn’t pick out Coors light…..4x over 😂
Preach
Banquet is "project" beer. Working on the yard, painting the house, staining the deck - always keep some Banquet on hand. For years I avoided it because of the stigma of the macros. But there is a time and place for it and it's delicious in those moments.
drink what you enjoy. 🙌🏻
When I was in Golden, CO and took the tour I was actually rather surprised at how good, "The Banquet of Beers" tasted from the brewery. I was hesitant to talk about going to breweries on another's page but that might be a great series of teaming up with breweries, visiting, tasting and promoting each other to fight against the big ones who fight amongst themselves...
Nate's buzzin' for this one, love to see it
gonna say the same lol
So Coors banquet is the king of American macro lagers (out of the popular huge corporations) so far in your videos !! My fav as well !
Nothing beats a Coors banquet in a stubby bottle while a hot day on the water fishing
👍🏻🙌🏻
It's great to see the blind tastings again. Love those videos.
It was awsome to see the new blind in the video.
Thank you Nate and to all of you at Tree House Brewery that made my day.
Can't wait to visit Deerfield location June 12 when were down that way again.
Cheers Brian from Canada
thanks for the box, Brian! see you soon! we’ll mention your work in a future video 😁😁
Yes I love the blind tasting videos!! Awesome you nailed it!
Glad you like them!
Budweiser has always been my favorite. Especially frost cold. But i actually drank my first Coors Banquet beer today. And...sorry King. You've been overthrown.
Great video and results. I was anti-Coors for decades. About a year ago, on a whim, picked up a six pack of Banquet, my favorite go to beer, don't even give the other macro brewers a thought now.
nice - always a good idea to revisit things!
I love these videos. I am interested in other people's takes on beers and the tasting notes. I don't drink any of these, but coors banquet at the brewery is just different. It is the best of those 3 in my opinion. I am not a beer girl, though. I do love tasting beer! I only really enjoy stouts and porters every so often. Still love these videos!
Fantastic video. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Banquet is a solid brew.
Love that last comment - just when I thought you were going to let us know which of the three you would drink on a warm summer day, you dropped a TRUTH BOMB - Julius!!!!!
The juuuuuiiiiccceee
I do love how people say they can tell the difference, but when you see it in person you prepare your thoughts, your pallet and all preconceived notions. If it's a true blind test, your senses will play with your mind. I love your vidoes.
Miller High Life is my favorite but Coors Banquet has always been my close second. Cool video!
his palette is phenomenal! wow.
Love these videos guys! And your interaction with everyone. It’s incredible to see such a wonderful product from a business that’s in such an explosive growth time to still take moments to connect with their followers. Bravo! Have you all ever considered a Kolsch taste test? I’ve tried so many local brewery Kolsch beers and even the imports and I find them all so unique and dynamic. I don’t think I’ve tried a Kolsch style ale that I’ve disliked ever. Also, if you guys are Beatles fans and would ever be interested, my brother hosts a podcast called Blotto Beatles where they have some beverages, discuss one Beatles song at a time and rank them. They’re local dudes too and I bet they’d love to add you to the brewery list of guests as they’ve had the Devils Purse guys and Sam Calagione on. Cheers!
I have thoughts! I thoughts this channel is AWESOME!! Edit! After watching it again, it occurs to me that your editor deserves a raise.
thanks, I think?
@@treehousebrewco haha! Pay the man (or woman)!
I'm a recent settler to the USA, I enjoy Banquet and High Life, but if I'm drinking High Life I prefer it out of the bottle.
I love watching these beer reviews. Cheers salud and PROST ✌️
Glad you like them!
BRO i thought i was the only one that noticed the heineiken banana note!! I ALWAYS say it to my friends and they never pick up on it. Makes it undrinkable for me hahaha.
feel so validated hearing about the banana heineken thing, people looked at me like i was insane when i said it
My picks are Miller, Coors, Bud. Done many taste tests, switched to craft beer years ago.
awesome work man love it brother
Much appreciated
@@treehousebrewco would love to see more of treehouse via longisland Ny. Love you guys.
Banquet beer is my go to 30 rack but sometimes, after mowing the lawn, crushing a bud heavy makes me feel good
High life and Coors Banquet are the only choices for my palate. Coors was one of the first major breweries to use cascade hops.
Same here man. But I'd prefer coors over high life just out of preference
IPAs! There's so many to taste! I want videos of IPAs!
I grew up on Bud. Occasionally still enjoy a Bud Heavy.
I love craft and traditional European styles, yet I always keep a sixer of Banquet in the beer fridge. It’s the classic American light lager.
👍🏻
I just drink beer occasionally, and I did research into what beer drinkers consider the best of the "mass market" inexpensive beers. Coors Banquet seems to be well respected, so I went with that, I enjoy it very much. I've had Bud a bunch in restaurants and stuff, it's fine.
Coors Banquet has done well in many of our tastings for sure!
Great video. I love the blind tastings of the macro brews. Well done on knowing your brews.
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm here to listen to Nate refer to all things as "guys", ha. Love these videos!
☹️
Great video but using miller genuine draft probably would have been a better choice over high life and I definitely agree with you on the temperature they all should have been relatively similar temperature.and I'm drinking a banquet as I type good shit man
Banquet is usually the dollar beer special. And I love it more for it
Love these videos! Great job Nate. You mentioned the temperature difference. I always assumed you took them from the same cooling vessel...hmmm. I am not a fan of the macro beers, but back in the day I did drink my fair share of MGD, which is pretty close to High Life. Goes down easy....when cold! Cheers.
We took them from the fridge. Was a bit bizarre but i made it work!
It’s so hard to tell beers like these apart when blind sampling! I’d love to see a video where customers try to identify Julius, Haze and Green in a blind tasting.
Good idea. I find these three to be incredibly easy.
God dang it - I wish you distributed to Oregon. LOL.
Oregon has the best beer culture of any state. You can fill up your car and fill up a growler. Had some exceptional vacations in Oregon enjoying its many craft beers. Hood River brewery that had Hop Lava comes to mind. Pared with a Jersey pizza pie!
This is fun to watch and I don’t drink alcohol. Thank you
You’re welcome!
recently had coors at a baseball game being the cheapest option at about $5 for 12oz can. haven't tried bud in a long while but banquet had a hint of sweetness. I see why some people are choosing banquets recently.
Good price
Try some Straub. It's awesome.
My pallet is all over the place, depending on weather. In winter, when it’s cold, I like really dark beers. It summer I like something lighter and refreshing. I don’t care for anything Light, or IPA’s. (They taste like grapefruit to me.) The only beer I’ve ever dumped down the drain is a Michelob Ultra. 😂
mich ultra is tough for sure
Many years ago a DJ buddy of mine and I did a monthly gig at a divey spot in DC. We talked the owner into a 3 hour open bar with a $5 cover-caveat being it was beer only-and the only two choices were Coors Banquet and Corona. The Banquet wasn’t terrible actually…shockingly so.
sounds like good time honestly
Gotta do a Canadian version! Labatt, Molson, etc
One of my old friends had Miller High Life at his house like 8 years ago. I had one and quit hanging out with him😂
🤣
Is High Life the standard Miller? I always thought Miller Genuine Draft was standard
I always thought this too. Apparently, MDG wasn't introduced until 1985. It is the same recipe as High Life, which has been brewed since 1903, except it is cold-filtered rather than pasteurized like High Life.
Banquet has always been my personal fave of the big American beers. And always nice to see Bud go down.
it hit really nicely in this tasting for sure!
Yeah. Exactly the way I would rank them. But PBR I enjoy more than all macro adjunct lagers. And I specify "adjunct". Cause beers with no adjuncts are.....of course.....better. But in the "Light" category of these beers.....Miller Lite is far superior. This is from a craft beer guy. Cheers!
What about Narragansett and Yuengling as a blind tasting?
It's not a visit to Misquamicut beach without a Narragansett.
Next time!
Awesome job, I do enjoy the full body of these cheap American beers
thanks!
Cold Cap for the W!
Yeah, i had a group of guys who swore how easy this would be and we did Budweiser/Banquet/high life/busch and the only one they got right was Budweiser bc of how sweet it was.
it’s very hard especially if you don’t drink them often
the new box looks really nice, well done.
we have a friend from Canada to thank for that! more details in an upcoming video!
Ive watched a lot of your tasting videos and you seem to take really small sips. Is this true? If so do the small sips make it easier to pick out nuances? Thanks!
i sample beer (and spirits, and coffee) all day every day and have a responsibility to be with it 100% of the time to lead our team that I take very seriously. i don’t need much and have been at it professionally for 15 years.
Given Charlton is empty behind him, can we assume Nate was knocking back Bud heavies in the AM? Baller stuff.
where can i get one of those shirts!!

No Pabst?.. very disappointing. Glad I read the comments.
Miller for the win... if in a pony bottle!
Banquet in the 16oz aluminum bottles is my go to. I’m also of the opinion one pint is the perfect serving of beer, not 12oz.
There’s also something to be said for enjoying one of these beers after having a few craft beers. That’s for a couple of reasons. Sometimes you palate needs a break after drinking hazy IPAs, especially some of the extra soft, sweet and heavy-feeling ones. Also, drinking $8-$9 pints if you are out all night can get pretty expensive! Nothing wrong with downshifting to a less expensive lager. I’m a firm believer that every bar, even craft beer-focused bars, need to have at least one inexpensive beer on tap or in cans.
variety is the spice of life
Full agree with the dim view of Budweiser and appreciation of Coors and MHL. I must say, High Life really shines out of a cold bottle though. Yall should do a battle of the East Asian Macros next : Asahi, Sapporo, Tsingtao, Chang, SIngha, etc !
that is on the list!!
@@treehousebrewco hell yeah
Love a cold High Life after mowing the lawn on a hot summer day.
🙌🏻
Only problem with Coors if you want cans and don't want to deal with the bottles, they are very rare. Even though Coors light cans are everywhere.
the banana note in Budweiser is so true
undeniable
It’s like people that claim they can blindly choose their favorite vodka. They never can when I test them
I'm suprised Pabst Blue Ribbion wasn't a contender in this analysis! Tends to be my go-to cheap domestic lager, but Coors has always been my runner up.
we have it in another tasting! it can be hard to choose, stay tuned, we'll do more!
Interesting choice with the High Life...I would have included Miller Genuine Draft to go up against Bud heavy and Coors.
my thought as well
we went back and forth, always time for another video!
Julius THUMPS these beers
🧃
Long live the King 👑 Budweiser 👏
Challenge: drink every time he says “this guy” or “these guys.”
Figured MGD and Busch regular could have been added.
Next time!
I work for Coors in Golden. Good call my friend
That’s cool. Thanks for stopping by!
battle of the big boys
If I do domestic and its among these three...its Miller High Life. And agree...Bud is a no go.
Do it over with them the same temperature!
Props to highlife for hanging in with "premium" beers that sell for at least $5 more per 12 pack.
No PBR huh? Just one of the oldest most iconic American Lagers. Do a Schlitz, Blatz, PBR showdown.
As a pro brewer I do not even need to watch this. High life or die. also after watching ive probably drank 10,000 high lifes, maybe 12 bud heavys and like 1000 coors. i wanna do this just for myself because I think I can pick em out
Bud still the king
He better pick high life … haven’t looked at comments, high life is good
MGD is Miller's regular beer 😂
🇺🇸High Life for my Life 👍🏻
Why not redo with proper temp??
Weird to hear they taste similar. I remember having high life last year for the first time and not liking it. But coors is a favorite of mine for sure
they definitely have their differences - I was just trying to say telling them apart to the layman is harder than most think. there was an anecdote shared on the last video that there's an establishment in the midwest (I think?) that taps them interchangeably and no one ever says a word
@@treehousebrewco that’s pretty funny. That’s not critique of y’all, the only time I drink miller high life is as a nascar negroni lol
Second time that banquet wins on the blind taste 🎉
May I suggest a white lab coat for Nate when doing these vids?
not a bad idea!
Highlife needs to be in the glass bottles if I understand it’s biggest fan
It taste best out of a bottle and freshly made. The can version is distinctly different tasting imo, but is cheaper priced than bottles
I like MGD more than all of these, even if High Life has the better mouthfeel. Think I like Milwaukee’s Best Light more than all these, too, even if, again, High Life has the better mouthfeel. Yep, I’m certainly a Miller guy through & through.
We’ll get into MGD in a future video for sure
Banquet
Buschhhhhhhh reigns supreme amongst the domestic conglomerates!
it didn’t do well in the last tasting ☹️
@@treehousebrewco I respect that! Craft beer is always the way to go, but growing up in Central Pennsylvania, Busch was the choice when I was under 21! Also the go to for late nights at the sprint car tracks! Love y'alls beer and videos. Ever going to start distributing to Colorado?
It is weird seeing those in a teku glass
one of the better ways to taste for me. Funnels aroma. Not a good drinking glass, though.
Hope you had a tree house brew on standby to wash your palate lol!!
watch til the very end 😁
is the Julius a lager or a ale also what kind of style of beer is it?
It's a New England IPA. Basically hopped orange juice.
I always thought Bud Light had a banana taste to it.
High Life + frosty mug = classic
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Or a hot summer day, a Labatt Lite/ Blue Light. Hint hint
Are you Canadian? I’m here in the USA drinking yuenglings.
Coors Light > Coors Banquet > High Life > Hamms > Rainer > Olympia (RIP) > Old German > Bud Heavy > Bud Light > Rolling Rock
rainier can hit right for sure
Hamms #1
@@NickSim86 yeah I should've put Hamm's higher.
This is insanely difficult to do with any type of beer, let alone 3 macros like these
No one, we all lose haha
grew up about 5 miles from coors... can't stand that beer lol... great video!
Whereabouts, CO?
@@treehousebrewco Wheatridge, just east of the Coors brewer... ever hear of the 'short tour' 🙂
Sorry Henry Weinhart by Hop Valley Oregon is best then go Molson Canada due to better water
