It’s the rice. Budweiser uses rice as a grain instead of more expensive (and traditional) grains like wheat and barley. I personally think their choice of hops (or amount thereof) makes for a skunky brew.

Someone else is going to have to drink my beer. My first and last was half a can of Coors in June of 1971, in Marysville, CA.

Yes, “America” could be the United States of America. But Chile is America, too.

>>Be that as it may it still fails to live up to the label of ‘beer’.

But people still drink it. They lack your worldly educated palate. They probably work with their hands and sweat on the job. Barbarians! Not the kind of people that America needs, for sure.

These Bud folks are smart. They’re getting on board early on the Trump Train.

All the private label, independent breweries are eating into InBev’s market, so of course they are reaching for anything to market more of their lousy beer.

Billy was caught working as an unregistered foreign agent for Moamar Qadaffi. Not so unlike his brother after all.

Maybe Shiner Bock can name themselves “Texas.”

This strikes me both as offensive exploitation and subversive propaganda. I hope it is disallowed.

On a lesser note, Olympia used to use the slogan, “It’s the water.” I always thought that Budweiser should have used the slogan, “It’s water.”

I will go without before drinking Bud.

Will it still taste like Clydesdale urine? (No, I don’t know what Clydesdale urine tastes like, I’m just guessing)

Nothing like drinking a Belgian-owned beer to inspire good old-fashioned American patriotism!

Especially when they elect to use the words from a song written by a the communist Woodie Guthrie.

Another thing it isn’t: beer.

It still is a very unpalatable brew.

The label change will include replacing "Budweiser" with "America"

They should also replace "Budweiser" with beer.

You probably meant Reinheitsgebot which translates to Purity Law. I am not sure if you mean Ehre which translates to Honor. Or you meant er as in he. Das ist Treue translates to: That’s loyalty
