Haven't had too many Budweisers in my life and this name change is really making a push to keep it that way.
As a beer snob, it looks like I'll be switching to America from Coors Light. Never thought I'd see the day.
They could have at least went real redneck on us and called it "Murika". Knowing this is potentially going to be the face of beer for our beloved country, I'm appalled.
Being completely sober since November (not sure how long I will actually go. Probably a full year at this point), it's been a while since I paid attention to any news from the big corporations and the craft scene. It doesn't take a whole lot to understand how dumb of an idea this is by AB InBev. I was a relatively early adopter in the craft game having friends and family into brewing their own beer and going to Great Lakes early on. My go to cheap beer for some reason was Carling Black Label because I preferred Labatt and Molson Canadian to cheap American beer and I didn't think Black Label was that different, but cheaper in the states.
Just what we need – a patriotic beer. At least I could pour a Budweiser into the toilet and say, "America is in the shitter."
You don't think this will sell? Haha that's too funny. Every redneck is creaming their pants right now. I hate bud but this will sell very easily.
I like Bud Heavies. But I also exclusively drank Natty Light for years and while I do agree craft beers are better I don't think it's enough to justify the price difference. Speaking of which I hate how because I'm a 20 something year old everyone thinks I have these opinions on what is a good type of craft beer is. I could care less. Just give me a Budweiser and I'll be fine.
