Budweiser seeks approval to be called ‘America’ this summer.
I wonder how much politics and the election play in this but all I see when I read this is S.T.U.P.I.D.

I saw that today also. Pretty cheap promotion. Perhaps another brewer will bottle "F*** Budweiser" to cash in on it.

I REALLY hope this isn't approved.

But then, I am biased...still, I think it's a terrible idea.

Remember, there is no precedence for commercial use of "America":

Absurd.

Budweiser continues to attempt to boost their sales by repackaging the same crappy beer.

Absurd. And amazing.

Definitely not appealing to the beer drinkers of the world that have refined beer palates, just close your eyes and try to imagine who is standing in line buying 'America' beer.....'nough said.

And I'll point out that InBev isn't even an American company....

So, to close this thread out on a positive note... :whistle:

A neighborhood brewery near me, and a personal favorite, CBW, is holding a beer buy back event tomorrow...

Edit: Correction, Saturday is the event.

Bring in and surrender anything AB and get a Good Old American Dollar off Pints of their CBW brew.

They want it out of your fridge and off the streets... No questions asked.

Don't even have to make up a story about how your weird uncle left them there last weekend.

Now that's America! :flag:

:cool:
