It’s been around since 2008! So why did nobody start drinking it until a minute ago? I have two theories so far:
- I heard it’s huge in the south, so maybe they introduced it there early and it didn’t make its way to California til more recently? Or,
- Maybe we had it here all along, but nobody gave it a try because, let’s face it, it doesn’t seem super appetizing at first. It’s not until someone raves about it that you decide to get to work.
But the main thing is, they have a super-hot spokesmodel which I think is a big reason for its rise in SF.
P.S. Thanks to the Treasure Island Music Festival (and mostly Girl Talk) I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about how great 2008 was. Too bad for me I wasn’t a BLL early adopter.

As someone who used to live in the south, I can concur that Bud Light Lime has been pretty big there since the beginning. Even before that people would squeeze limes into Mexican beers all the time, I’m surprised y’all hadn’t heard about that out here.
Ppl squeeze limes into Mexican beer everywhere….
That’s what I thought, but this post implied otherwise to me.
Nothing about this is good. And people started putting limes in beer to mask the crappy taste.
Welcome to the “new” beer.
Dude, what?! Colbert has been ironically pimping Bud Light Lime since, like…. FOREVER!
But, aside from that, I can testify from personal experience that, if you go to Puerto Alegre and order a bottle of Negra Modelo, the bottle will always arrive with a quarter lime stuffed in its gob. The idea is that the acid in the lime will prevent food poisoning. And maybe improve the flavor, though I have doubts about that.
Yuck.
We’ve finally reached the tipping point where it’s ironic to drink Bud Light. I couldn’t be more excited.
started drinking this on hot (?) days to keep the moochers away.
Moocher: “dude, could I snake one of yer brews?”
Me: Sure!
Moocher: “Oh wait, what is that?!?! bud light lime?! gross!!”
Me: get lost moocher.
I was drinking that shit like 3 summers ago. Sorry it took you so long to catch up.
Btw, it’s all about Bud Light Chelada now.

It’s really cool to drink scented bottled chimp piss (coming soon to bodegas near Dolores Park). Meanwhile, Bud Lite Lime will do.

not knowing that it was a deed end. it is expected that eventually the italians will reduce the cash amount you can spend on goods to $500. enjoy each moment you have on the earth mother. but if you’re feeling panicky, think back to 1797 and the staggering debt the new nation faced.
