The difference with Bud and Bush is age, I believe. I was told once by a distributer that Bush is just young bud, and maybe not beechwood aged.


I want to say that bush is a 30 or 40 day lager, Bud is 90 day and Michelob is 120. But I might be off on those, it's been a few years since that discussion.

But I first heard coors thing from a coors marketing woman who did a promo at the bar I tended in college. She swore up and down it was true and to this day I can't tell the difference at all between coors light and keystone.
