Meh, that's not all American beer. It's a shame though, Budweiser was always the best cheap keg beer.

Hopefully they don't screw with it.

I highly doubt a Belgian company could screw up an American beer.

[Lachrymose]

i feel betrayed.

[BladeSLicer]

Heh, fair enough.

You know America had some of the best beers in the world back in the day.. then prohibition rolled around.. and now all we have is pisswater, yuengling, and Sam Adams.

[Honorius]

Wait, please don't tell me this is the one that's next to Bush Gardens. That's the whole reason to go there, well that and Peter Frampton...

[Tiberias]

Never drank that swill myself, but fuck them in the asshole anyway.

[Tdog]

Come on, give them a break. 52 billion dollars is alot of money. Everyone has a price.

If someone comes and offers you 52 billion dollars for your company, how many people would say no thanks.

Think about it guys, 52 billion dollars. that is 52,000,000,000.

[Hemlawk]

Yuengling is a great beer! But my favorite beer is Fat Tire, but I cant get it in NJ ;(

Blue Moon is yummy too!

I dont care what Anheuser-Busch does with thier crap beer. Its only good because its cheap and you can get drunk from it, lol.

[Carl Ragadamn]

This is a good thing, InBev will not mess with the beer or its cost to the consumer. Instead they will do what they are famous for, restructure the company to be efficient. The Busch family has run the Co. as a family cartel for decades. All of the best earning distributorships go to family or people connected to the family. These people then do all sorts of shady stuff to crush the non family distributors in their areas.

Yes I would probably sell my left arm for 52 billion dollars.

52 billion dollars is a lot of money. Just to help put it in perspective, 52 billion seconds ago the date was Aug 1st 360 AD.

Third largest consumer company of the world.

I bet the founder of Inbev never would have expected that in 1366 :p

Just because you French like wine doesn't mean we have to drink it you know.

Fro is in denial atm. But in the food thread he posted some french cheese tips.

[MorkDaOrc]

Yuengling is a great beer but they don't sell it here because of state laws. Which is crap because we can buy liqueur but not Yuengling? So I always have to go up to PA and sneak it in :ninja:

Damn West Virginia, I can't wait to get out of this damn state.

I wonder what is the total number of the posts that have been dedicated to revealing Fro as a frenchy.

Not enough seeing as he still denies it.

Denial is not new to Forumfall, Gunther still denies that he is also Vullin even though everyone knows that it is true.

[Fro]

Read the sig.

[Phooey]

Thankfully, that's not all American beer. As far as the big ones go, we've still got MillerCoors and here in Wisconsin we have some fantastic microbrews as well as Leinenkugels.

Let's hope Inbev turns Bud into a real beer and get all the fucking rice out of it :p

I just hope they fire all the Busch family memebers that collect huge salaries for doing nothing.

[Spinewire]

best thing they could do is pour it all down the drain and start again as bud is poor at best.

True but alot of people drink it in its current form so why reinvent the wheel? If you have a fan base that accepts your subpar product why bother to make it better.

You guys love to pic on the dude from britannia.

If only they knew how much they hurt my feelings...:(

[Spineless_DoO]

All this means is less jobs for Americans and alot less people drinking those products because of it. Most of the products under purchase here are working class items. The working class is pretty good at boycotting offshore takeovers and especialy when a company tries to de-unionise.

I like Yuengling too. Most people I know who don't regularly drink beer or even alcohol like drinking Yuengling over other beers.

It's the beginning of Fro's inevitable surrender to his Frenchiness.

Sneak it in? Thats brutal... I need to go to New Mexico or Colorado to get Fat Tire. Im wondering if the inlaws can ship some to NJ ;D

[Lindorn]

Hey, there isn't a damn thing wrong with Sam Adams. We also have a ton of great microbreweries around here, especially in Texas and Cali. I'd be lying though if I said 90% of what I drink wasn't imports.

[Barbarossa]

Anheuser-Busch has been producing swill, bile and sewage for years. They only mildly scored high with a few Michelob varieties such as Amber Bock and Honey Lager.

Anheuser-Busch is the company that unleashed Natural Light on an unsuspecting public and for that there is no forgiveness.

Also the other big American breweries, such as Miller and Coors have shit for product as well.

[Nehemia]

Man, you can keep those American beers to yourselves.

[Vanno]

I hate to admit it, but I actually like the new Bud-Light Lime. After years of detesting all Busch products, I feel dirty and ashamed.

[Shadowoak]

You guys love to pic on the dude from britannia.

I think it's called Bretagne there.

[BlueLion70]

The real question is how could any company expect a non-american to tolerate drinking shit beer like bud or busch. Bringing those beers overseas is fucking retarded because people outside of america actually have good beers to drink

[Someone]

Well they can hardly make the beer worse, maybe if they personally jizzed in every bottle sent out. But I'm still not sure that it would make the beer taste worse.

try Budweiser - Budvar

It is the actual Budweiser beer that Bud stole their name from and why Budweiser is advertised as Bud instead of Budweiser anywhere outside of NA. (Actually outside of NA if you see a beer called Budweiser it is a Czech beer and not the American one).

In 1895, Czech brewers followed, founding the brewery called Budějovický Budvar.

In 1876, an Italian immigrant started to brew and sell a brand of beer he called "Budweiser Beer" in the United States.

Because of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) Convention, geographic names like Budweiser are protected and, therefore, in many countries, Anheuser-Busch has to market its beer under various other trademarks, such as "Anheuser-Busch Bud".

It's not because one was first, it's because Europe decided one day that anything that derived in Europe belongs to them only and fuck their former colonies and citizens that carried on traditions in the New World.

Related: In the European Union, "Parmesan" is a protected designation of origin; legally, it refers exclusively to the Parmigiano-Reggiano DOP cheese manufactured in a limited area in Northern Italy. Outside Europe, most notably in the United States, similar cheeses may be sold under the name Parmesan, considered generic. When they are sold in Europe, they must use another name, such as Kraft's "pamesello italiano".

Real men drink nothing but Chivas Regal.

Go to fucking hell for drinking bottled alcoholic piss.

I'd say a shitty corona is correct and its gotta be like -30 degrees or else it tastes like crap.

quoting wikipedia on this


The original Budweiser Bier or Budweiser Bürgerbräu, had been founded in 1795 in Budweis, Bohemia, Holy Roman Empire and had started exports to the US in 1871[2] resp. 1875 [3]. In the U.S., Anheuser-Busch started using the Budweiser brand in 1876 and registered it two years later.

In Budweis, the new company (now named Budvar) was established in 1895 by mainly Czech brewers, which also started exporting beer with the adjective Budweiser ("Budějovický" in Czech). This led to the Budweiser trademark dispute. Negotiations between the three companies, the two from the original town and the American Anheuser-Busch, about using "Budweiser" reached an agreement in 1911 that allowed Anheuser-Busch to use the brand "Budweiser" only in North America.[4]


Budweiser beer was first brewed in the late 1700s, was imported to the US at the start of the 1870s.

mind you in my first post, I was mentioning the 3rd Budwesier beer brand.

[Vanno]

It isn't, the Miller Lime is more subtle BL-Lime is brunt with its limelyness.

I have to say I lost all respect for you losinglife. Corona is utter garbage, and even a gimmicky beer like Miller Chelada is better.

I'm telling ya, if you gotta put an outside flavor in a beer, such as a slice of lime, it's not worth drinking. Corona is way overpriced.

not after you had a few beers and its 1$ corona night :p

I'd check to see if this stuff is outdated before I drink it if I were you, any beer that normally costs $3.50 - $4 a bottle getting dropped to $1 a bottle has got to have something wrong with it even more so than just bad taste.
