I can't recall where, just now, but I read a comment saying that the writer was disgusted, and would go back to drinking Wild turkey. That estimable brand or whiskey is, of course, owned by some Euro-giant or other.

Personally, what large concern ever cares much for the working man? A very local concern, brewing and selling both in the same city and environs, perhaps. And mostly because it knows what side its bread is buttered on. But otherwise, I care not a whit.

I will drink Bud for a few more weeks until the supply of American owned brewed Bud runs out.

After that - I am swearing off my favorite beer (Budweiser) and switching to McHenry full time.

Make note, Mr. Sisson - stay away from Belgium. I don't want to have to switch to another brand again.

Hopefully, sales will drop and more Americans will discover real American Craft beer!

Couldn't care less.

I'll keep drinking craft brews.

The fact that it isn't "American" really couldn't mean less to me.

When I'm not drinking Micrbrews I was a Miller guy. It took me a while to accept when SAB bought out Miller but I survived. When Miller and Coors announced a merger I decided I couldn't be a Miller guy anymore on principal. I decided to go back the beer of my college/softball days of Budweiser. I started drinking Bud again and sure as you know it Imbev comes into play. If I had more money I would only drink Microbrews. But I guess it's time to accept reality- it seems maybe 10 corporations own about 90% of the things in the world today. So I guess I'll just go back to drinking Miller (and Microbrews on payday) and not worry about things I can't control.

Maybe a Belgian brewer will make the stuff taste better, I can't drink it the way it is, blehk.

We live in a global economy. Many of us drive foreign cars and own a foreign-made television. Budweiser is an American icon but we will survive this. As long as I like the taste and the profits don't go to terrorists, I will drink foreign beer as well as foreign-owned "American" beer (and regular American craft beer).

The only thing that AB every produced that was worthwhile was the creative advertising. Absolutely hated their - so called beer. Disgusting stuff.

Although they once used a true advertising slogan. --
"Nothing beats a Bud" I always agreed and would happily take "nothing".

Start drinking craft beers!

Yes, Budweiser by A-B is all-American.

So is McDonald's.

Translation: It may have its place, but it isn't exactly something to be proud of or anything you'd show off as a sterling example of American culinary excellence. Mass-marketing, mass production, and conformity, maybe........

I agree with Hon...I hate Bud...

It's going to hurt their advertising and sales quite a bit.
It is interesting how Pabst has quickly picked up on their advertising that they are now the largest American "brewer." While they no longer brew any of their own beers, they are now the largest American beer producer.
I wager that Boston Beer Company - aka Sam Adams - Yuengling, and others will follow suit and profess their patriotism.

I don't like Budweiser either, but I do like their Natural Light. They might be owned by Belgians, but the stuff will still be brewed here.

I was bummed when SAB bought Miller, because I was/am a big Miller Lite fan.

But I'm more apt to reach for a microbrew these days.
