Anheuser-Busch InBev has filed for approval with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau to change its name to "America."
The limited-edition label will be on 12-ounce cans and bottles from May 23 through the end of election season in November to to inspire drinkers to celebrate America and Budweiser's shared values of freedom and authenticity.
The label change will include replacing "Budweiser" with "America" and adding phrases like "Land of the Free," "Home of the Brave" and "From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters this land was made for you and me." Other new cans and bottles will feature a view of the Statue of Liberty's torch.
"Budweiser has always strived to embody America in a bottle, and we're honored to salute this great nation where our beer has been passionately brewed for the past 140 years," said Ricardo Marques, vice president of Budweiser. "We are embarking on what should be the most patriotic summer that this generation has ever seen.

Back before the Internet, there was the "Xerox Net". That is, cartoons and funny stuff that was endlessly recopied and circulated throughout workplaces around the country.
One in particular I remember was a cartoon of a very well endowed stallion drinking from a bucket of Miller Light and simultaneously pissing into a bucket marked "Budweiser".
>>Nothing like drinking a Belgian-owned beer to inspire good old-fashioned American patriotism!
Keeping the Sheeple shytefaced one can at a time.
It looks like he is one of the Stella Artois/Skol team that merged to create the global giant, Anheuser-Busch InBev.
Doubt that the Chileans would say that, certainly not in English. They know that they are on South America (a continent), so called to distinguish it from North America (another continent).
"America" (unqualified) is not the name of a continent. When it is used to refer to a particular polity, everybody knows what it means, even if that meaning is not "official".
Now that’s beer! I can buy it here (after much pressure to the liquor store) labeled as Czechvar.
We have a joke about Budweiser in England. It goes as follows:
Q: What's the difference between Budweiser and making love in a rowing boat?
A: Nothing. They're both f***ing close to water
