If you are going to boycott them, since their merger with In-Bev the list of products is quite long.

I’ve told you all that the recent gun control efforts are part of a class war pushed by very wealthy constituents against us. They’re guilty and out of touch with reality (paranoid). We’ve seen articles about quite a few such individuals supporting gun control, and the anti-Second-Amendment campaign has their prints all over it. Too many people in media, government and business have been pushing hysteria and panic to get what they want, and there are too many government, business and academic efforts against the USA for foreign interests.

There are regulations in most counties against new, small production starts on American soil. Those should be repealed. It’s time for the social pathologies (feminism, queer-ism, etc.) imposed from above to be abolished. It’s time for American freedoms for all classes of people to be respected and upheld.

Budweiser = toilet bowl cleanser.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Not my beer since way way back in ‘68...

[matthew fuller]

Didn’t AB get bought out by a foreign company a few years back?

[Sans-Culotte]

It’s easy to boycott something I wouldn’t drink anyway. I prefer ales and stouts to typical American overly fizzy beers like Bud.

[NonValueAdded]

... thus joining the Schlitz kids in making a fortune-ending bonehead move.

Looking forward to the post that lists all of the brand-names brewed by A-B.

Life is too short for anything but Spaten beer.

Spaten Octoberfest is a treat.

Dick Yuengling would tell gun grabbers to piss up a rope.

Can you show me a quote?

Yuengling's Black and Tan is far and away my favorite "grocery store brew" and I'd love to have a reason to drink even more of it.

[Lexington Green]

I don’t always drink beer. But when I do, I prefer AMERICAN beer.

[bmwcyle]

Who gives a S$%T?

[Gator113]

Well darn, I can’t boycott a beer I don’t like and don’t drink.

Oh, but I can bug folks that drink that crap... I’ll do that.

[Fiji Hill]

I like Budweiser, as long as it's the real thing from Budweis, Czech Republic.

[tumblindice]

Tres Equis is a beer passed through a mule’s bladder three times.
From then on it’s Budweiser.

Adolphus Busch IV is the oldest child of August “Gussie” Bush, Jr. and his third wife. He is a typical liberal, wanting the guns he wants to own while limiting the ones he doesn’t care much about.

I’m sure he’s an Obama lackey, seeing as how this was all done publicly through a PR firm.

[wku man]

"Is this Bud still for you?"

Hasn't been for a long time. I agree with the poster who said Bud = pisswater. I do like Amber Bock, but since that's an AB product, I guess it's off my list as well.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[Uncle Chip]

Who cares. I don’t drink his stinking beer anyway.

He doesn't either -- he sold the company

[scott7278]

That’s not the same person. It was Adolphus Busch IV who resigned from the NRA, not August A. Busch IV.

I haven't bought their ditch-water imitation beer in years... but... it's not wise to do this when a good number of gun toting Budweiser drinkers are loyal customers. Statistically, a statement such as this against the 2nd Amendment and its followers has never worked out well for the one making the statement...no matter WHAT the industry. ...not too smart...but like all liberals, they'll eventually figure this out. It'll hurt like hell, but they'll figure it out. :-)

See now what NEEDS to happen is for another major beer producer to come out and make a counter statement FOR the 2nd Amendment. That would be interesting to watch. :-)

I have some bottles of Budweiser left over from the Super Bowl and the Daytona 500. I will never buy the brand again.

FU, Adolphus Busch IV.
