It's official :( Anheuser-Busch sold

So this is a Belgian company right?

How is that not a good thing? The Belgians could actually make the US Budweiser taste good rather than tasting like the urine of a sick cat.

its an American company and should stay that way. that's what's sad
 
Budweiser is terrible beer. get into Scandinavian, Belgian, Italian, German, English and even some Australian beers for a much better taste! Budweiser is all about advertising and branding which blinds you from the real man beers.

EDIT: hang on… didnt the thread title say Bubweiser?
 
well, unfortunately this is way more common than you could even realize. AB has not been an American company for a long long time. They are multi-national, just like every other large corporation on earth. Most beer you drink is not "from" where you think it is or where it is marketed to be "from"

AB makes shi**y beer anyway, imo

sadly, they said that they're not interested in changing the formula at all. its more of a branding buy out than anything

yea i changed it to be "more correct"

as far as drinking beer, i tend to only drink local stuff. colorado has a gazillion microbreweries and all are better than the crap put out in terms of taste by the big companies
 
I don't drink but from what I'm told mainland Europe does something magic with beers and makes them good, so I'm probably guessing this is a good thing.

As a Belgian I'm proud of our wide range of beers. The take over by Imbev is actually a good thing for all shareholders. As a matter of fact Imbev is partly Brazilian, partly Belgian. My guess is that the Bud beers will not change but you may expect more foreign beers or new tastes in american shops soon.
 
All beer is nasty. The more expensive, the more it tastes like thick, moldy water or fermented coffee. 😛 Real men drink whiskey, especially bourbon. 😉

Interesting you say that. The brand was initially copied after the real Budweiser, a Czech beer. So you might say it's just returning to its European roots.

Personally I don't care much for Budweiser and would drink a Stella before a Bud any day of the week.
