- Bottoms Up (RSS)Say adios to Tequiza: Anheuser-Busch kills it
By William Brand
Friday, January 9th, 2009 at 10:14 am in what's on tap.
Following in the wake of Coors, Anheuser-Busch – if this notice on the Tequiza Web site is accurate – has pulled the plug on Tequiza. Drink Bud Light Lime instead, ole Bud sez. Not for me, I fear. But Bud Light Lime apparently has really taken off.

Bud Light Lime is not the same but it is good. I will miss Tequiza. Is there any chance of a comeback? Perhaps it was a marketing issue because a lot of places didn’t carry it.
Thanks for the memories
March 30th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
I am disappointed and do not like Bud lime at all. I think it was definitely a marketing problem. I always had trouble finding it, and if I did, the store would stop carrying it. I thought it was wonderful…Too bad, and no more business for them from me.
April 4th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Tequiza was my favorite Beer….went down so smooth and refreshing!
April 5th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
I WANT MY BEER (TEQUIZA)BACK NOW !!!!! CALIFORNIA CAN we order from another state?
April 6th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Tequiza is the only beer I drink! It’s a perfect ladies beer. (I’m kindof a drinking sissy) No wanna be Tequiza is going to sucessfully replace it. I tried the other lime beers. They suck.
PLEASE BRING OUR BEER BACK.
April 16th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
I am disapointed in the discontinuation. I’m an admitted non-beer drinker but really enjoyed Tequiza, I guess that is why the marketing flopped…the real beer snobs found it to different from what is out there in the market. What a shame. I think I bought the last six-pack in existance in Myrtle Beach while on vacation in January.
May 17th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
I don’t drink beer, but I licked the taste of Tequiza. This is the only beer I could drink. Too bad, sorry to see it go.
May 25th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
Always, when I find something I like, it disappears. I tasted Bud Lime once and couldn’t stand it. I’ll gladly pay more for Corona before I ever drink a poser like Bud Lime. Now I’m having trouble finding Michelob Ultra flavored. What is the problem? Can’t we get an alternative to all the plain beer out there. I need to put a lime in something, for Pete’s sake!!!
May 27th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
Bring it back now! You have got to be Kidding Please bring it back! I only drink a few domestic beers. Tequiza was the only one I would pass up a Corona and lime for every Time. I would buy at twice the price!
May 31st, 2009 at 2:33 pm
If AB thinks bud lite lime is a replacement for Tequiza, well, then it is not hard to understand why they sold out to the foreigners….
June 10th, 2009 at 6:19 am
Tequiza was the perfect sit around the pool-summertime beer. I didn’t think it was too sweet. Hell, I don’t even put sugar in my coffee.
I’ve tried Bud Light Lime and hated it. I was at a Bud hospitality tent where we could drink all the free beer we wanted. I couldn’t even finish one BLL.
The lime taste is too overpowering.
Bring back Tequiza and sell it in Canada!!
June 10th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
This is the only beer that I have ever liked. Some say it was a sissy beer, but I loved it. Please bring it back.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
I LOVED Tequiza! I too agree, Bud Light Lime is NOT nearly as smooth as Tequiza. We are suffering because they didn’t know how to market the stuff! I always had such a hard time finding it! I drove 40 minutes one way to buy a few cases at a time! I do not really drink beer but Tequiza was SO smooth, I always drank it, even when beer snobs laughed at me! I’m so disappointed & NO I won’t be drinking Bud Lime, it’s not the same!!
June 18th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
I miss it also, my friend got me hooked a few years ago and poof it is gone, Bud Light Lime could not be the same, the Agave made the beer. Pleasssssssse bring it back.
June 20th, 2009 at 7:54 am
I, too, loved Tequiza. The taste was just perfect, just the right tang without any aftertaste. It always hit the spot.
June 21st, 2009 at 12:15 pm
I too agree, Bud Light Lime taste like crap.
Bring back Tequiza. I’m drinking Corona with a splice of lime right now and it’s better tasting than your crappy beer. Sorry no more Business for Bud.
June 22nd, 2009 at 7:48 pm
I must throw my lot in with everyone who appreciated a great tasting most satisfying beer: TEQUIZA I would always look forward to adding a 3rd CLAMATO, a slice of lime and salt around the rim. That was my favorite way of enjoying beer. Nothing else really compared to the unique flavor TEQUIZA adds to this formula. If it needing a better way of being marketed, then it should of been promoted on the basis as being the most flavorful beer for all those who enjoy drinking beer in this way.
June 23rd, 2009 at 7:59 pm
I heard earlier this year that Tequiza had been discontinued but the local distributor said he could still get it. Now he tells me it is discontinued. What a shame and disappointment. I guess it wasn’t a big enough blip on the AB CFO’s radar screen. Bean counters win again. (Enough is enough!) It would not surprise me if the decision-makers never tasted it. Never mind that T was such a unique and flavorful ‘beer’ and *everyone* we ever introduced to it *really* liked it … I’m glad I found this website. It’s good to know there are numerous others who appreciated the beverage as well as my wife and I. I hope it’s another ill-conceived Coke Classic ploy, and someday soon we’ll get Tequiza Classic at the beer mart! Well I can dream. Really bummed. Our dinner parties just won’t be the same. We’ll have to find a microbrewery somewhere with something with just as much character, but it won’t be easy. AB had a real gem. What a sad note to end on.
June 26th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
No beer ever did, does or will ever come close to the perfection that Tequiza brought to our lives. Rest in peace.
By the way, In my opinion, all bud, bud lite, and the lime crap all tastes like it has some hint of a soy-saucey kind of taste. IT’S DISGUSTING.
BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK!
If not, bring on the Corona.
June 26th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
By the way, Miller Chill, the one with lime (I’m having one now) isn’t half bad. It’s no tequiza though. Not smooth at all like Tequiza was but good flavor. Screw Bud Lite Lime, go for the Miller Chill.
June 30th, 2009 at 9:25 am
Please bring Tequiza back ASAP. Bud-lime is not even close to Tequiza. I drove 2 hours to buy it by the case and I’m out. I’m not a beer lover but Tequiza is the exception. BRING IT BACK PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE
July 2nd, 2009 at 10:42 am
I looked all over for Tequiza, not realizing it had been discontinued. I hope that Tequiza lovers like myself, will appeal to the makers to bring it back PLEASE!!!
July 2nd, 2009 at 1:59 pm
can anyone tell me where I can still get Tequiza? I have no problem buying 25-50 cases if necessary.
Thanks!!
July 2nd, 2009 at 4:59 pm
I agree, Bud Lite is not as good as Tequiza. Tequiza was the first beer I ever liked. They’re trying to compete with Miller Chill and they both stink.
July 6th, 2009 at 8:13 pm
This was a mistake and represents utter foolishness on the part of Anheuser-Bush management. This company is being run by a bunch of totally incompetent, out-of-touch suits- I will NEVER buy any of their products again for the rest of my life- unless Tequiza returns. A/B stockholders: SELL! Invest in Miller!
July 17th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
I’ve been searching for Tequiza for what seems like several years now, and was thrilled to find some at a local store last year… twice. I have yet to find anything that compares; Bud Lime and Miller Chill aren’t even close! You may want to give Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy a try. It’s not Tequiza, but it’s GOOD!
July 18th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
I really enjoyed Tequiza, but you can get almost the same flavor by putting a half-shot of anejo Tequilla in a glass mixed with 1 budlite lime.
July 19th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
No way does BLL taste anything like Tequiza, it’s too much like light limy p… water. Nothing yet that I tried even comes close to Tequiza. Sorry AB you made a huge mistake by ridding the public of the BEST beer around. It never stayed on the shelf long in stores because it sold fast. Stores always ran out. That should say something.. yeah “people were buying it = revenue!!! I guess another company can build their revenue and profit.
Shareholders do us and yourselves a favor. Read our comments and consider bring the BEST BEER EVER back back to us. I’m sure there are more pro-Tequiza than those wanna be TEQUIZAS make doers.
August 19th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
A major disappointment not to be able to buy Tequiza any more!! It has been my number one choice for beer. THANK GOODNESS I had stocked up since I had to buy it in the next county (my county was not in their market). But, I am about to drink my last one. PLEEAAASSSSSE bring back Tequiza!!!!!! We need it for Labor Day!!!!!
August 23rd, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Tequiza was the best. Stick it in the Freezer and take it out just as it began to form ice crystals. Nothing even close. Thanks AB. No more of my beer buying business for them. I now drink Coors and add some lime to it.!
AB COULD have handled it from a PR stand point much, much better.
Like a six month advance notice to it’s customers. Attention Tequiza Junkies, We will cease production in six months. You better stock up with a life-time supply. Contact your distributor for quantity orders.
But, no notice, no nothing. Just pulled from distribution on Jan. 1st. 2009
Ot they could have sold off the brand to a smaller micro brewery.
August 24th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
I am a beer lover and Tequiza was one of my favorites, especially in summer. Bud Lime is not comparison at all. Tequiza was the only Anheuser-Bush beer I liked. It will be greatly missed. I hope it comes lback.
August 25th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
Sign the petition to bring back Tequiza!!! Bud Lime is not the answer………
September 3rd, 2009 at 8:41 am
Tequiza is my favorite too, and none of the lime flavored beers are as good.
They need to realize that it appeals to non-beer drinkers, to many women (most beers are advertised to appeal to men – they’ve almost forgotten that women drink beer too) and to people who don’t enjoy the heavy beers.
They brought this out too soon (before flavored beers took off), advertised it too little, and barely marketed it – most of the Tequiza I found in recent years it was just lucky tripping over it in a store – most stores didn’t even carry it.
If they put the effort into marketing Tequiza that they are putting into Bud Light Lime the sales would be smoking BLL. Any time I gave it to anyone they were hooked.
Yes, we need a petition to bring it back.
September 3rd, 2009 at 8:43 am
How do we get a petition going?
September 6th, 2009 at 11:32 am
I’ll sign it!
September 11th, 2009 at 11:56 am
I just went to 4 liquor stores looking for some tequiza. I finally came home and googled it just to make sure I wasn’t wasting my time. That was the only Beer I enjoyed. Ice cold with a lime wedge shoved in the neck of the bottle YUM ! I hope there is something really close out there . . .My search continues
September 11th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
AB IS CRAZY AS HELL 4 D/C MY FAV BEER. ALL THESE OTHER LIME BEERS KICK ROCKS. I’M SO SAD AND I’LL NEVER DRINK BEER AGAIN!!! BRING IT BACK BRING IT BACK!!
September 18th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
This was bar none the best beer that I ever tasted. I would drive 50 miles to buy it by the case to have enough to last me for a while. The marketing for A-B is out of their mind for discontinuing a product that was more refreshing than any other drink.
September 21st, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Tequiza was the best beer ever. we drank it almost exclusively while it was available. bll is not even close. could some smaller brewery make something similar? call it tequilza? quetiza? aziuqet?
There are tens of thousands of tequiza lovers out there that would love to stick it to AB by buying a competitor’s product.
Anybody find anything close to Tequiza? We are drinking hard cider and sparkling wine more now.
Brian
September 27th, 2009 at 6:34 pm
Wow, nothing compares to Tequiza. Way better than Bud Light Lime, LandShark and Coronas -Please bring it back. It is one of the only beers I liked!!!!!
October 3rd, 2009 at 8:48 pm
This was a great beer, better then all the want to bes, not much of a suprize that bud would kill somthing that didnt apeal the the low brow bud drinkers. It was hard for the nascar and football crowd to say so they dropped it. I am a fan of much darker and more complex beers but this was a world class summer time beer.
October 9th, 2009 at 10:10 am
It’s my birthday and all I want is a 6 pack of Tequiza!!! Any hiding out there anywhere? PLEASE!!!
November 13th, 2009 at 7:03 am
Upset is’nt the word for it! When I couldnt find my tequiza, I went back to my Coors Light. Then I tried Michelob Ultra cactus lime and it is about as close as I have come to the taste of Tequiza. Still not the same but pretty good beer.
December 1st, 2009 at 7:29 am
I just found out my favorite drink is gone. I had been
looking all over for it, and like most of the other
comments, I don’t like the BLL. I too got others hooked
on that smooth, no after-taste, refreshing beer. It was
like if Gatorade made beer : ( Please bring it back!!!
December 2nd, 2009 at 10:58 pm
This was a bad idea taking Taquiza off of the market it was a big seller in the area in which I live. I still have a couple of bottles left and I am saving them for a special occasion…PLEASE BUDWEISER BRING TAQUIZA BACK. It is a very outstanding beer to drink and I miss drinking it especially when I go to a party. I actually took a case to a party and the people at the party never heard of Taquiza and when they tried it they fell in love with it.
December 15th, 2009 at 5:43 am
Bring it back….perfect companion to mexican food and pizza. I agree with an earlier post, no wonder AB sold out, this is not Europe. They bought Rolling Rock, which had a loyal following, closed up Latrobe, and ticked off life-long RR drinkers. I switched to Yuengling.
December 22nd, 2009 at 1:26 pm
I only found Tequiza while on holiday in Feb 2008 while in north Florida . It is very dissapointing to now learn that it is now no longer available. The repalacement product , Bud light lime, tastes a bit soapy in comparison. Michelob lime is a better product as far as I can tell. Maybe the folks at AB will reconsider and reintroduce this product once again.
December 27th, 2009 at 7:56 am
You know, the trouble for me was I just thought the stores didn’t carry it – I didn’t realize the product was being discontinued. I saved one bottle and drank it yesterday as my Christmas Gift to myself. Oh the small pleasures we seek!
The story of my Tequiza woe is in my video.
March 26th, 2010 at 9:59 am
I’m so glad I found this string of messages. My husband and I were going crazy trying to find Tequiza in NY and in FL. We’re not major beer drinkers, but we LOVE it. We just drank our last bottle (carefully hidden in the back of the fridge) and sang “Taps.” What do you think it would take to get AB to bring it back? We would be greatful and frequent customers. We hope that AB will somehow get these messages that though we may be a niche audience, we’re loyal.
April 3rd, 2010 at 11:24 am
Tequiza is not just a great drinking beer but also a great cooking beer for Spanish/Mexican/Latin recipes. Guess I’ll have to find an inferior substitute somewhere.
April 17th, 2010 at 6:06 pm
I first enjoyed tequiza when a friend brought a couple cases up from New Mexico to Wyoming. Back then, it was on trial run in a few states. It was the the best thing I ever tasted! Not quite beer, not quite chick drink. Can’t believe it’s gone! What do we gotta do to get them to pull their heads out of their arses and distribute that sweet nectar again?
April 22nd, 2010 at 5:04 pm
been looking all over for tequiza i love it when it starts warming up and it just goes down so smooth please bring it back
May 1st, 2010 at 1:39 am
Wow, are you freakin serious?
Bud Light Lime does not come close to comparing to Tequiza! I’m pissed. I say bring it back and that’s an order from a U.S. Marine!
May 8th, 2010 at 9:43 pm
I never liked beer, BUT TEQUIZA! From the first taste it was like a first kiss, a kiss that shook and woke up my soul.(after huricane katrina destroyed my way of life here in Baton Rouge I had no choice but to move to Radcliff Ky.(dry county)after 4 years of (H-E-L-L)I was finaly able to come home,where people are normal.I DREAMED OF COMING HOME AND EATING MY GOD MOTHERS GUMBO AND DRINKING AN ICE COLD TEQUIZA,I HAVE SEARCHED EVERY WHERE AND IT’S GONE,DISCOTINUED.B-P HAS SPILLED ALL OVER THE GUMBO FIXINS! NOTHING IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE,I WANT MY BEER.I NEED MY TEQUIZA.Not only did it taste good but it eased me it calmed me.I am a diabetic,and I have nerve damage in my back,I am so sick of taking medicine,I WANT MY TEQUIZA BACK,.A/B IS NUTS.THEY DID NOT REALIZE WHAT THEY HAD.BRING IT BACK.IF THE IDIOTS DON’T KNOW HOW TO MARKET IT WE THE TEQUIZA DRINKERS WILL BE GLAD TO DO IT!BRING IT BACK !!!!!
May 10th, 2010 at 3:13 pm
All I can say is that you guys have got to be completely NUTS. Bud Light Lime is nothing like Tequiza and never will be a replacement for it. Tequiza is one of the best beers ever made by Anheuser-Bush and you really should bring it back. I don’t drink Bud Light Lime and never will.
May 11th, 2010 at 2:21 am
OK… For all you whiners. MAKE YOUR OWN TEQUIZA
Quit whining and accept the fact that AB will not bring Tequiza back. So this means that you go down to Save on Foods (in Canada) or QF (in US) and look for Blue Agave Nectar (light) and add 3 or 4 drops to Bud Light Lime, and poof instant Tequiza.
Because all Tequiza was, was Bud Light, with lime juice & Blue Agave Nectar, all AB did was drop the Blue Agave Nectar. IF AB had been smarter, they would have JUST changed the name..
May 11th, 2010 at 2:12 pm
Figures,
I finally find a beer that is not only good to drink but is great as a marinade for chicken. Another strike against AB. They seem to like the run of the mill beer that anyone can make but cringe with fear when they have something good that is out of the ordinary.
I may have drank my last AB beer. There are too many competitors to be slapped in the face like this.
May 15th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
I loved Tequiza! All I’ve done since it disappeared was try different things to recapture the taste. Then just now I find out it was pulled deliberately! Well, I now have a new mission. To boycott all Anheuser-Busch products til they bring it back. I can’t believe I’ve been supporting them unknowingly just because of my fondness for a product they themselves discontinued! Yes, I’m irate.
May 15th, 2010 at 11:29 pm
Guys,
Obviously by all this feedback – you screwed up discontinuing Tequiza. That is the only beer that you have ever made that I regularly bought. You should have done more research before making the decision to pull it. A better marketing campaign could have been attempted. Just when you really have something special – you blow it. Bud Light Lime is a sad 6 when Tequiza was a true 10. I tried BLL once – never again.
May 18th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
I’ve been looking for tequiza for the last 10 years. I figured it must have been discontinued long ago. Now i find out it was only a year ago. All i can think of when drinking bud light lime or miller chill is “This sure isn’t as good as Tequiza.”
May 19th, 2010 at 9:40 am
“Vacation in a bottle.” That’s what I called Tequiza. Unfortunately, the highest selling beer in this country is Bud Light. Drop a little lime in there and bingo – Tequiza disappears. Not a fan of most of Anheuser/Busch products, but I loved Tequiza. Maybe we should start a Facebook page to get production going again…
May 19th, 2010 at 9:50 pm
I still have 2 cases of Tequiza left. I drink 1 bottle a month.
My complaint is not that they discontinued it. But, THEY GAVE ZERO WARNING!
Maybe an insert in a six pack that said.
Dear Customer. Sorry but as of June 1st, 2009. Tequiza will no longer be available.
If you would like to order significant quantities of Tequiza to provide you with future supplies. Please contact the Beverage Manager at the store you purchased this at. InBev totally screwed this up…
May 20th, 2010 at 11:52 pm
BRING IT BACK NOW! NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW….this is cruel and unusual punishment!
May 28th, 2010 at 8:25 pm
Since A-B doesn’t want to make it anymore, let someone else make it!! I agree….bring it back. I am running low after purchasing 4 cases 2 years ago! UGH!
June 3rd, 2010 at 7:53 am
Well this is encouranging and discouraging at the same time, I did not know why I had not seen Tequi in a while but completely ignorant of it’s discontinuation… Yes start a Tequiza come back facebook page, we can move mountains when united through facebook …..
June 6th, 2010 at 5:51 pm
BL Lime is like nutrasweet in a diet soda…or fake sugar alternative. It has a bad aftertaste. First swig was alright. 2nd sip felt bland with chemical lime. Then I kept sipping to wash away the bad aftertaste. Gave up…could not finish it and will not try again. Tequiza was superior. I enjoyed topping off each bottle with a half shot of patron mixed in.
June 11th, 2010 at 10:51 pm
I liked Tequiza best, but I have seen expensive Wheat and Agave beer on the shelf at health food store, never bought it…
June 15th, 2010 at 4:09 pm
I miss Tequiza. I do not like Bud Light Lime. It does not have the fullbodied, refreshing taste of Tequiza. Please bring it back. Better marketing would bring better sales. Figure out a way to attach the bud lable and it will sell. Alot of people have never even heard of Tequiza.
June 18th, 2010 at 3:20 pm
Bud Light Lime and the other Michelob variant are NOT as good as Tequiza was. I had a bottle of Tequiza last night and it was just as good as I remembered. Who do we badger at A-B to bring it back?
June 25th, 2010 at 4:15 pm
I WANT MY TEQUIZA BACK ALSO IS THE ONLY BEER THAT I WILL DRINK, I WILL PUT HALF OF LEMON WITH SALT IT WAS SO GOOOOOOOD.
June 25th, 2010 at 6:30 pm
The only time I ever broke my diet and enjoyed a “cool one” called Tequiza and now,there is nothing in the beer line left that equals this fabulous icy cold beer on a hot summer day,and it’s gone!! Why did this happen? What can be done to bring it back? I don’t care about the diet,if only I could sit on my patio and drink a cold mug of Tequiza,the best beer I’ve ever had!! Isn’t there even one 6 pack of Tequiza left for me to savor? Help!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 26th, 2010 at 9:46 am
I have never been a big fan of Anheuser-Busch products, especially Budweiser, but, I did like Tequiza beer. It really did have more of a Tequila-lime flavor and much more distinct than any of the new lime- flavored beers of today. You can throw ALL of the lime beers in one pile, they are all the same, but not Tequiza. It stood alone, atop the rest. Sorry Anheuser, but you blew this one.
June 30th, 2010 at 8:42 pm
I’m just sick of not having my Tequiza!! It’s summer, it’s hot and I want one!! I don’t really like beer, but I really loved Tequiza.
I did read where someone said to just add some blue agave nectar to a BLL, so I’m on a quest for the nectar now…. but I’d just rather have my Tequiza back.
Darn you Anheuser-Busch!!!
July 11th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
Bud Light Lime is quite possibly one of the most disgusting things that I’ve ever tasted.
July 11th, 2010 at 9:03 pm
My wife and I just split our last bottle and found this site in hopes of locating Tequiza somewhere. Truely a great beer!
Hopefully someone out there will take a bottle to a local micro-brewry along with info to log into this website…Hint,Hint,wink,wink!
I have well over 500 Tequiza bottle caps that I had been saving to use in a mosaic or as park to a sculpture…perhaps I should just save them as collectables and sell them for $1.or 2 each?
August 6th, 2010 at 9:14 pm
Really enjoyed Tequiza– I have tried bud light lime and the equivalents from Miller, etc. and nothing is the same. Hope some orphaned brand company can secure the rights and re-market it.
August 8th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
A-B purposely bought out Tequiza to kill it. Tequiza was a great beer and it sold well in St. Louis, MO (home of A-B and former home of myself). They wanted to introduce their own lime beer so they bought out the market leader for lime beer “TEQUIZA”. It’s a shame that they discontinued a great lime beer to replace it with Bud Light Lime “WHICH SUCKS”!!! From now on, I’ll add lime my own beer. “CORONA”! No thank you to A-B for their lime beer. I wouldn’t pay $2 for a 6 pk of Bud Light Lime. BRING BACK TEQUIZA NOWWWWW!!!!!
August 9th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
Not to throw salt on the wound, James, but A-B didn’t buy Tequiza, they owned from the get go. A-B created it the brand to combat a small, but growing number of tequila flavored-beers that were coming from overseas, from places like Mexico and even France.
August 18th, 2010 at 3:10 pm
Wow… Tequiza reminds me of drinking with my buddies when I was 18 and fresh out of high school. It was very good, wish I could have some again. Hopefully one day I’ll see it at Bev-Mo.
September 20th, 2010 at 10:48 pm
Budweiser sucks-I want my tequiza and I want it now. I hope you go broke.
October 19th, 2010 at 7:47 pm
Please!!!!! Return tequiza!!!!! Right nowwwwwwwww
October 22nd, 2010 at 4:41 pm
I had not drank for a while. When I started drinking
again I have been looking everywhere for tequiza. I
am so dissapointed to find out they’re not being made anymore. PLEASE bring them back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 3rd, 2010 at 6:31 pm
This is not funny,I stopped consuming any beverage with alcohol because I was taking meds that made me sick if I drank anything, even my precious Tequiza. I told a few people that I had trouble finding it and recently somebody told me that he was positive that he saw it recently in a restaurant…so here I am, 5 years older with a desire to just taste my precious, smooth, sweet but not -too-sweet, Tequiza…5 years without only to find out it’s gone…lime beer is not sufficient..we need that Agave Nectar!!:(
November 18th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
i looked and looked and looked everywhere for it.please bring it back to cali. i swear i will buy it every weekend till the day i die!
December 7th, 2010 at 7:08 pm
I have been looking for my favorite beer for months, with a sick feeling that they had discontinued it. No one knew what I was talking about when I would ask if they had any. I guess misery loves company. It was nice to see so many people suffering along with me. Too bad we can’t be sure AB is seeing this. I will try the Blue Agave Nectar if I can find it. I have a craving for it right now….but especially this summer was missing that special refreshment. This is really sad. Good luck everyone trying to find that same flavor out there!! I’ll let you know what I come up with!

I agree with Ann Coyle, I miss it too and Bud Light Lime is not as good and probably never will be. I wish it would make a comeback. It used to be in my old grocery store, about 3 six packs at a time. I used to try and buy one each week while shopping, just to keep them from dropping it. I was just looking for Agave Nectar to see if I could buy some and add it to Bud Light Lime and see if it improves the test. We will see.

Sigh. Tequiza was my most favourite tipple and the lime beers are just not the same. I used to turn cities upside down when travelling in the USA (it was never supplied to the Canadian market) to find Tequiza…never an easy task even when AB had it in full production. No one at AB ever seemed to understand who their Tequiza market was and how to reach them. Sad.Sure wish someone would bring it back and market it properly.

I’m PISSED. Every time something comes out that is enjoyable and well liked. It’s taken away. My wife don’t drink, be she would sit around w/me and enjoy several TEQUIZA. Anheuser-Busch really drop the ball when it came to marketing the beer. It was really hard to fine but worth the hunt. When I heard it was going to be discontinued, I went on the hunt and found four cases. I was a very happy man but now I’m down to four bottles and I’m PISSED because I know when they’re gone that’s it. ANHEUSER-BUSCH YOU SCREWED UP and NO, I won’t buy B L Lime.

So I bought the Agave Nectar and added it to a Bud Light Lime, along with more lime and some Tequilla. It is still not the same as Tequiza but at least we tried. Maybe if I try different amounts it may be closer. Anyway, a lot of effort to get a flavor that used to come from one bottle.
Anyway, don’t forget you can sign the “Bring back Tequiza petition” at: http://www.petitiononline.com/Tequiza/petition.html

i was driving 80 miles across state line just to get tequizas after they quit selling it in ok. it was worth it. BLL is good but TEQUIZA was seperate from the others. i wish they would bring it back !

We have a whole neighborhood block party…men and women, that love Tequiza but not all the other lime beers…the are just not the same at all. Marketing is the issue here, because whenever we could actually find it, we bought it all. Someone must have killed it intentionally to make someone else look bad. I know way too many people that loved it.

i miss this beer so much i drank it and it only bud light lime isnt the same and neither is any other lime flavord beer, i just want my beer back…

Tequiza is the best beer anheuser acquired and their lime beer, which is anheuser version, is not even close.
Like everything else, the good stuff is removed from the market place and the average or below average is kept on the shelves.
Instead, more Margarita’s will be sold too bad Busch is not interested in making bigger profits. I do not buy Busch’s lime beer rather buy a foreign beer.

I loved Tequiza soooo much!! I’m am actually beside myself that it has been discontinued. I introduced it to a lot of people and they always liked it. Judging by all the posts on this page it was a well liked beer. And I’m sure this just represents a fraction of Tequiza fans. I can’t believe that they would just leave all of us in the lurch. Bud Light Lime sucked sooo bad! I bought a 6 pack, drank 1 and could hardly choke it down, i gave the rest away. I can only hope that AB will recognize that the market was much bigger than they realized and bring it back, bring it BACK, BRING IT BACK!!!!

July 26th, 2011 at 12:34 pm

July 29th, 2011 at 8:25 pm

August 5th, 2011 at 12:00 pm

PLEASE BRING TEQUIZA!! I LIVE IN NO. CAL AND HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND IT EVERYWHERE. DUH, IT WAS TAKEN OFF THE MARKET…SILLY ME! I HATE BEER OTHERWISE, AND WON’T EVEN TRY ANY OTHER, SO AB LOST A CUSTOMER IN ME BY PULLING THE PRODUCT. BRING IT BACK QUICK!!!!!
September 20th, 2011 at 2:10 pm
Please bring it back. I’m a DJ, so I do a lot of parties. I would bring a case of Tequiza, to party or event or family function and friends and family would bring they choice of beer. They would all drink my beer, especially women, they love it, it went great with everything. When I first heard they was going to discontinue the beer. I went around to every place I knew that carried it. And I would buy whatever they had left. Bud Lime is okay, but doesn’t have the same taste. To be honest, it taste a little water down. There are a lot more people that love this beer than you think. Just bring it back and market different. Thanks
September 27th, 2011 at 8:03 am
I would love to see Tequiza come back! Please give it some thought. My blushing bride and I really love the refreshing taste. Bud Lime just doesn’t do it for us.. Sorry.. We live in North Texas so there is plenty of Shiner Bock to drink but Tequiza was different from all the rest. It was so unique and awesome. THAT is what will make it a success again if you give it a chance..
October 31st, 2011 at 8:07 pm
Tequiza is my favorite beer. I will not drink another.
November 17th, 2011 at 5:31 am
Like all the others Tequiza was a great beer, one of the better taste in beer that there could be. I’m from PR and everytime we were in US we look for it. It wasn’t sold in PR. and we took as much as we could with us. Too bad it was discontimued. I will love to see it come back for sale.
