The 12th Commandment Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 The make fun of us for drinking watered down beer and then once they own the company they water it down more. I'm thinking that Belgians must not have an awful lot of respect for US bikers. Did their Hell's Angels charter get yanked? Lord, and some frenchies, only knows what they put in the translations for SoA over there. I can see an issue with Gemma and the bud needing water. Perhaps word of the drought made it across the pond and they're worried we might be suffering (fits in with the socialist/commie/fascist meme quite nicely)? This won't end well. :evilg: /false indignation http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-21597076 Beer drinkers in the US have filed a $5m (£3.3m) lawsuit accusing Anheuser-Busch of watering down its beer.The lawsuits, filed in Pennsylvania, California and other states, claim consumers have been cheated out of the alcohol content stated on beer labels. - more at link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Well, in the US the beer is produced by Americans, so technically Americans, not foreigners are watering down the beer. But as someone who doesn't like Bud, and only drinks it if there's nothing better available, I really don't care as it doesn't affect me. If it really bothers these people and they want to get back at AB, then suing isn't the proper response. They should just stop drinking Bud and switch to something else. Hit them in their pocketbook.

Kosher Ham Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hasn't it always been watered down ? How could you tell the difference ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Seriously, complaining about Bud is like saying there's too much uric acid in the piss you're drinking. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grego Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hasn't it always been watered down ? How could you tell the difference ? precisely. perhaps if they labeled it 'beer flavored water', there would be no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiv Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 The lawsuits are based on information from former employees at breweries owned by the multinational. You don't say. No one that actually drinks the swill noticed, just former employees with a chip on their shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar78 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 It doesn't have the same impropriety as people watering down a famous Burgundy wine. Budweiser shouldn't be seen as our national identifier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsburySkinsFan Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 American beer watered down....ya don't say....:thud: Actually I think what has happened is that some Americans have actually tied non-macro brewed American beer and found that beer can actually be rich and flavorful, then they went back to Bud Lite and found it to be the crap brew it's always been. /piling-on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenspandan Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 i can't believe people still drink that swill now that there's almost always a much better alternative available (some sam addams or sierra nevada or fat tire, if not other micro brews on tap).

Edwardpena69 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Enter the beer snobs. People like whats familiar to them. I find it hard to justify spending 7-10 bucks on a six pack of a micro brew I may not like. So I will stick with bud and shiner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I will stick with bud and shiner Honestly, do some homework, find a liquor store that allows you to build your own six pack (i.e. buy them as singles). Any store worth frequenting will do this especially if they have a large selection of micro-brews and imports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I drink everything except regular Bud. Personally, Im a Miller Lite guy myself, but I mix in imports with it. I just went to Brewvival in Charleston this past weekend and to be honest, while it was awesome, it was nice to just drink a 22oz Miller Lite draft after 6 hours of drinking all imports, most which were IPAs or hopped up as hell.
