Budweiser is now owned by a Belgium Brewery[views:13011][posts:68]_______________________________ [Jul 14,2008 4:28pm - aril ""] Could be a repost but: http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/07/14/busch.reax/index.html People are outraged. I'm personally excited because 9 times out of 10, any eurobrew blows away anything these macrobreweries whip out. |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 14,2008 4:37pm - corpus_colostomy ""] did you know Bud was originally CZ beer? |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2008 5:17pm - quintessence ""] Not like its going to taste any different. Money is just flowing to new pockets. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2008 5:19pm - Joshtruction ""] was there a point where they lost the king of beers title or are they still the king? |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 14,2008 5:29pm - RichHorror ""] I am. |

| __________________________________________ [Jul 14,2008 6:13pm - largefreakatzero ""] The only people upset by AB being bought are rednecks who refuse to drink anything but domestic beer. Who cares anyway. Though I will drink it at times, Bud sucks. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2008 6:39pm - Joshtruction ""] I don't even drink beer and I am upset. Read my above post. Think of how much money AB makes off of that garbage. Now all that cash is flowing right out of our country. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 14,2008 6:43pm - RichHorror ""] I haven't been able to get a job in all the time AB was in this country so everyone can get raped. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2008 6:53pm - the_reverend ""] beer sucks. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2008 7:03pm - Joshtruction ""] and the wine coolers you drink are much better? |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2008 7:22pm - the_reverend ""] well, if they would just approve the damn badges for the club, I wouldn't need those now would I? |
| ___________________________________________ [Jul 14,2008 7:50pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] we dont need no stinking badges |

| _______________________________ [Jul 15,2008 9:20am - aril ""] It said in the Metro today that Sam Adams is now the largest American-owned brewery. Nice job, Boston. |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 9:26am - metal_church101 ""] No more AB sponsored NASCARS? |

Come on, dude, Stella draft > Bud draft by far. Out of the bottle, I would have to agree with the fermented horsepiss comment. That's what they get for putting it in a green bottle. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 10:27am - aril ""] For some reason, I'm craving a PBR right now. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 10:29am - largefreakatzero ""] That's because you are a true American, sir. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 10:32am - aril ""] I usually drink obscure European beers but PBR is calling me. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 15,2008 10:32am - Yeti ""] Budweiser is fucking disgusting in every way, i'd rather stay sober than touch Bud, so maybe this means that it will improve in quality. its funny that all the shitheads are screaming about how Budweiser is an American thing, even though its origin is German. Belgians brew a mighty fine beer, so this can only be a good thing. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 10:36am - aril ""] You'd rather stay sober? haha, that's a strong statement. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 15,2008 10:38am - Yeti ""] i can't choke Budweiser down. its so vile. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 10:39am - aril ""] bah, I should have said "Belgian Brewery" in the thread title. FAIL> |
| ___________________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 10:42am - largefreakatzero ""] Bud is choke-downable when ice-cold out of the can. I enjoy it when ice-fishing, but that's about it. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 10:47am - aril ""] It's better than Milwaukee's Best, Natrual Ice, Steel Reserve, and a bunch of others, I think. I used to drink 40s back when I was more poor than I am now. On a similar note, I tried "venting" with the new Coors Light can and it's pretty much like shotgunning the beer. You can chug those down in no time; that is, if you can choke it down. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 10:50am - mortalis ""] whatever, it's not like they're going to turn budweiser into a trappist ale. it will still suck. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 10:50am - GoatCatalyst ""] PBR > all. Here's to your fuck, Jim. I like your style... so FUCKING suave! |
| _______________________________ [Jul 15,2008 10:53am - Yeti ""] PBR and Narragansett rule. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 15,2008 11:17am - mOe ""] PBR's definitly my fav american/cheap beer of choice. I can only drink bud light if its ice cold but i never fuck with original Bud. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 15,2008 12:01pm - Mess ""] Fuck America! High Five! |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 12:09pm - goatcatalyst ""] Bud = fuel for generic whites |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 12:25pm - Conservationist ""] American beer = the cultureless grey race of alcohol |
| _______________________________ [Jul 15,2008 12:45pm - Yeti ""] hahahaha seriously. willingly drinking Bud Light is a cop-out. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 15,2008 1:19pm - Mess ""] i drink anything faggitzzzz |
| _______________________________ [Jul 15,2008 1:24pm - aril ""] Any Wine fanatics on here? Never really got too into wine, although I've enjoyed the glasses I've had. I love beer. |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 2:02pm - largefreakatzero ""] I like wine -- mainly cabs & merlots. Not too big on the whites. |
| _____________________________ [Jul 15,2008 2:04pm - mOe ""] Pinot Noir > most other wines |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 3:13pm - metal_church101 ""] and cheese with that wine? |
| _______________________________ [Jul 15,2008 3:17pm - aril ""] I don't think I'm ever going to buy that cheap 9 dollar jug of wine again. Last time I bought one I ended up puking red stuff everywhere. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 15,2008 3:22pm - Yeti ""] my dad is a wine connoisseur and he swears by the cheapest jugs of wine. i've never really been into it, but a cab/merlot with a block of sharp Cracker Barrel cheddar is a fine mix. |
| _____________________________ [Jul 15,2008 3:23pm - mOe ""] wine and cheese or wine and some good chocolate...can't go wrong |
| _______________________________ [Jul 15,2008 3:27pm - aril ""] and by ever, I meant never. that was a horrible experience. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 15,2008 3:30pm - Yeti ""] like 2 years ago at Colony Liquors in Auburn there was a sale where they got a shipment of label-less gallon jugs of wine. they were selling them for 3 bucks. i contemplated, but it didn't look promising. they looked like they were bottled out of a bathtub. |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 3:33pm - josh_hates_you ""] my girlfriend drinks lots of wine. 2 albanians at my works brew their own wine. bud sucks. i refuse to buy bud at a package store. maybe at a bar if it's the only thing cheap. My fridge is stocked with magic hat #9, opa opa red, sam adams irish red etc. for me and my gf. pbr cans for everyone else. I agree with joshtruction. with out dollar weakening it's easier than ever for foreign companies to take over american ones. thus fucking out economy more while our greedy asses keep consuming and flushing our money out of the country decreasing our dollar even more. business runs government. |

| ________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 7:56pm - tylor ""] eh, im sure budweiser is still gonna suck anyway, itd be way too stupid a move to change the recipe for bud |
| ________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 7:58pm - tylor ""] oh, and for the record i think keystone, miller lite, coors light, busch (light), nattie ice > bud |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 8:43pm - SkinSandwich ""] Steel reserve is fucking brutal. And i mean that in the worst possible way. I take one sip of that and I get the gags and heebbe geebbees! You know, the toxic shakes. Worst cunty shit ever. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 8:56pm - Dankill ""] If you want American and good, you're better off with Sam Adams anyways. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 16,2008 8:55am - aril ""] hahaha, keystone light. I haven't had that crap in ages. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 9:07am - c.DeAd ""] 30 Stones Motherfukker! I used to drink that shit like it was soda. It's practically alcoholic seltzer water. Gets you fucked quite quickly. Steel Reserve tastes like its name. What godawful shit. I would rather drink Odouls than drink that carbonated piss drink. |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 9:32am - Corpus_Colloid ""] COOL so bud will cost as much as a Heineken now? PTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 10:08am - Mike_K ""] I hate all bud. Sam and Guiness are my favorites. I like Magic hat Braggot and Circus Boy a lot. My favorites however are little random Irish/Scottish brews that you find in Boston. There was one I can't remember the name of but it was so good! |
| ________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 10:13am - aril ""] The best thing Sam Adams puts out is the 12 pack of their mixed Winter Brews |

| __________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 10:38am - RustyPS ""] Maybe now Bud won't taste like shit. |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 11:42am - DestroyYouAlot ""] Great article in the Herald (Boston's finest fishwrap) about this. They interviewed all these Joe Douchebags about it, and some police chief summed it up best: “What happens up there in the corporate world, we don’t care,” he said. “We just want the same product, the same name, the name recognition. I think it would be a disaster if they changed it.” In other words, who gives a shit if the country hemmorhages money, as long as the beer still tastes like week-old piss. LOL |
| _______________________________ [Jul 16,2008 11:58am - Mess ""] 11:58am it's close enough to noon right? [img] |
