Good thing I don't drink Bud. Not that it should change.


//Beer snob thread FTW

but, oooh, now that Bud is foreign, it is all I will buy. It is so much better than that American junk.

LOLbeer thread?

Busch und Becks?

Ja, und Becks.

It's just an excuse for bars to charge more for it being an "Import"...

/Bud Select is not that bad
//Really...try it.

The only decent Bud:

I will pour a Cold One out for my homies.

....and so another case where Corporate sells out, runs for the hills with their loot and leaves America wondering what it still owns, and lastly, Joe employee to wonder where his next drink will be coming from...but all of that will be lost with the yuk yuks...

Americans are a bunch of greedy, arrogant pigs. They deserve this.

Then again maybe the beer lobby will force Congress to lower the drinking age to sixteen.

I'll stick with PBR or Colt 45.

I quit drinking beer (and alcohol in general) years ago. AB products
were my beer of choice, but, I wouldn't touch it now.
I'm sure after this deal is inked, you will see some shrewd marketing from the competition, "proudly owned in the USA" commercials.

The fine folks over at Coors would NEVER sell out like those lame-ass Budweiser bigwigs!

markie_farkie: The only decent Bud:

I've got that same mug - great beer!

Oh, goody, I can't wait to hear what everyone's favorite beer is!!!!

Typical. All of their bull shiat patriotic, flag waving, idiotic shiat and they sell to the first foreigner they can find.

Maybe some of you hicks will stop all the flag waving yourself now that your beer god has left you with a headache and the runs.

"Anheuser Busch InBev" is the best they could come up with?

StoneyBologna: Oh, goody, I can't wait to hear what everyone's favorite beer is!!!!

Beer snob threads are the BEST!

/enjoying Sierra Nevada Pale Ale right now

Holy! farking! Son of a .....!!! Can we please sale more American products so American's don't own any farking thing anymore!?!

markie_farkie: The only decent Bud:



Ah, there we go.

Considering Stella Artois blasts the ever-loving shiat out of Budweiser, this can only be an improvement.

//Just got back from the local beer snob Belgian bar, so I'm really getting a kick...

Typical. All of their bull shiat patriotic, flag waving, idiotic shiat and they sell to the first foreigner they can find.

Uh, InBev found them.... and was going to go hostle and buy them out regardless.

Funk Brothers: Americans are a bunch of greedy, arrogant pigs. They deserve this.

I'll stick with PBR or Colt 45.

And deal with inexperienced AND drunk 16-year-old drivers? Hell no.

/or is it 17 to get license these days?

This is a sad day ):

Goldstein: /enjoying Sierra Nevada Pale Ale right now

Drank some of that at the beerfest last night. Good stuff. $15 for all I can drink beer!

markie_farkie: The only decent Bud:

Well, there is always...well, buds.

Heamer: markie_farkie: The only decent Bud:



Ah, there we go.

amen

Maybe American companies should focus on making "the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible" so that they can remain competitive in a global market.

//InBev is buying the brand, nothing more.

I remember when I visited Bush Gardens and went to their "Beer School", where they talked up a storm about how Miller is such crap because it's owned by Canadians. My the times have turned.

/ The Belgians make better beer anyhow.
// But Texans make the best:

Is this the straw that breaks St. Louis' back?

/sad day

StoneyBologna: Oh, goody, I can't wait to hear what everyone's favorite beer is!!!!

That, and how everyone else's beer sucks.

XFD suck it, alcoholfans

I'll always know where my weed comes from. Unless my friend gets arrested or kills himself, I mean.

cool.

pnhfitz: "Anheuser Busch InBev" is the best they could come up with?

Isn't there a joke about that? An old lady goes into a bar and asks the bartender for a beer. "Anheuser Busch" he asks? "It's fine" she replies. "How's your schlong?"

I suppose the joke will change to an old dyke goes into a bar and asks for a beer. "Anheuser Busch InBev" the bartender asks? "It's great, but Bev's away for a couple of days" she replies.

Here all week, etc. etc. etc.

StoneyBologna: Oh, goody, I can't wait to hear what everyone's favorite beer is!!!!

Ok, It's my own home brewed red ale I call, Captain Hook'd

youknowme: It's just an excuse for bars to charge more for it being an "Import"...

/Bud Select is not that bad

its all my dad drinks and tastes like sour water. im not big on beer, preferring wine (or hard liquor), but that stuff is a sad excuse for an alcoholic beverage.

Funk Brothers: Americans are a bunch of greedy, arrogant pigs. They deserve this.

I notice you're going to an American college, assbag.

People who insult the very country they live in and enjoy are total ass holes

Wonder what they are drinking to celebrate.

This should make for an interesting science experiment: is Belgian beer good enough to lift up crappy American beer, or is the stink from Bud so great that even Bass and Stella Artois could fall to it?

Time will tell.

I read an article yesterday that said AB was suffering losses and floundering from competition from so called "designer brews".

All the best breweries are local and usually employee owned (though kudos to Miller for being a union place).

/loves my Wisconsin beers

The Gas House Gang turns over it their graves

strife: And deal with inexperienced AND drunk 16-year-old drivers? Hell no.

Who cares? MADD is a bunch of whiner, post-menopausal, temperance women who lost their children to drunks over the age of 21 and they blame teenagers for this crap.

InBev is a publicly traded company. No doubt many Americans will continue to own stock -- and therefore a 'piece' of the company.

I wonder how many farkers know who really "owns" companies..

Who owns Ben and Jerry's?

Burger King?

Godiva Chocolate?

The answer to each of those three might well surprise you.

t3knomanser-Maybe American companies should focus on making "the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible" so that they can remain competitive in a global market.

//InBev is buying the brand, nothing more.

I'm pretty much getting apathetic about the whole thing. I don't drink this crappy beer anyway, so why should I care? Just as long as they don't change the commercials I'm good. :)

So does this mean there's no more "Veterans, please stand up" before the Shamu shows at Sea World? Or will they unload the three Sea World parks to Six Flags?

Seriously, AB does a lot of quiet animal work behind-the-scenes. Who's gonna care about the critters now?

DD0: Typical. All of their bull shiat patriotic, flag waving, idiotic shiat and they sell to the first foreigner they can find.

Selling to the highest bidder and maximizing shareholder profit just happens to be VERY AMERICAN, you commie.

/does not own stock

//I like Amber Bock. The rest is probably swill (its been years since I had Bud)

//Oh noes BELGIUM...they knows nothing about BEER compared to Bud!

pnhfitz: "Anheuser Busch InBev" is the best they could come up with?

Well, on the other side of the market it is MillerCoors or CoorsMiller. We can all agree that executives have to be some of the least creative people when it comes to naming things. They pay those marketing people so much money, it should continue to name the business.
