The one here says Buffalo Wild Wings West on the sign, that' why it's BW3's and yes it is lame for a restaurant to nickname itself.
What is BMC?
Bad Motherf***ing Crap.
So this is my question..
If InBev's bid for Anheuser-Bush goes through, will Budweiser become an import?

I couldn't decipher the rest of your no-punctuation-no-capital-letter-babbling, but this last part caught my eye.why would you order a random beer without asking what style of beer it was?
Ok, so it's my opinion that the American market doesn't need another crappy pseudo-witbier. If Shock Top turns enough profit to merit its continued production, then I'm clearly wrong. However, my original point stands: Shock Top is bland and very weakly resembles a true wit. If you want good craft beer, stay far away. If you like it, you're entitled to your opinion, but try sampling it alongside a Hoegaarden.
All I was saying is that for a cheap fruity beer i don't think that it's to bad. It's no craft beer you guys are right.
The only trouble is, a lot of BMC drinkers may try to "expand their horizons" by trying an AB stout or wit for the first time thinking that (in their naive eyes) that "Bud is a good beer, so if it comes from the makers of Bud, it MUST be good..." (ewwww)
Then not liking it they might then think that ALL wits or Stouts or "craft" beers in general taste bad. So it may actually keep people drinking their Bud and not trying a real example of that particular style....
Then after their line fails AB can go back to their old anti craft beer marketing and say "We told you that Stouts and Wits and Ales taste bad, so here, this Bud's for you!"
Call me a cynic, but I like to think A-B tosses this garbage out at us so that Joe Average Beer Guzzler thinks that's the best it gets and slinks back to Bud, cause it doesn't taste as "good" as Bud does.
I hate to bring this up again, but I've never been to our local micro beer festival before, and I am planning on going this year.

But was just noticing that "shock top" was one of there beers. Who are they trying to fool? This is AB not a micro beer.
