Any idea as to how it will be handled? Everywhere that serves it can give it away and be reimbursed or just a few select places etc...

How/what do you trade down from Bud to ?
actual bud (not bud light), isnt that bad... It's their own fault, they advertised the crap out of bud light, so people switched to bud light, and are now realizing bud light sucks.

Usually they have marketing people on-site during these types of promotions. Haven't you ever been at a bar or whatever and seen some hot chicks walking around giving away free shots of Cuervo or Bacardi or whatever?
the best line of the article:
I always thought the best type of beer was "free"?
Say what you will about bud light, but it's definitely the best cheap light beer. Comparing it to craft brews is pointless.
+1. I guess this is where PBR has an edge as the last "traditional" American brewery still owned by an American company? Budweiser, Miller, Coors are owned by foreigners, I think PBR is the last "old fashioned" American Beer Company. Them and maybe Yuengling.I guess that's what happens when you sell out to a foreign company. I just don't feel like I'm drinking an American product any more, even though it's still made here. Same thing with Miller/Coors.
If I have a choice, I'll buy the beer owned, operated and produced locally first, then I'll buy beer from an American brewer if it is worthy over any foreign beer.

Last I heard PBR had no brewerys and outsourced the beer making to large BMC companies this could have been hearsay never checked into it. My point being that it is not really all that american if it is being made at foreign owned places.

very funny
not all the time
yeah, I like Acetaldehyde in my beer
But I genuinely enjoy a cold Bud in the summer. Bud is a good beer, I never understood the bad rap it gets.
To be honest I haven't had one in years. My go to can o swill if I'm heading to the race track or an outdoor concert or some other venue that doesn't allow bottles is either Miller High life or PBR. American Lagers in general are very refreshing in the right place at the right time.
Bud's problem as I see it is that it doesn't have enough flavor to satisfy the craft beer crowd and it has too much flavor and too many calories to satisfy the light beer, "Joe six-pack" crowd.
Couple that with the fact that it just isn't "cool" to drink bud anymore and the brand is becoming the 21st century version of Schlitz, Strohs, etc.
Although, I don't for the life of me understand how it ever became cool to drink beers like Michelob Ultra and MGD 64. Every time I see some guy drinking one I wonder if he squats to pee too.
Can I get enough to boil a batch of brats?
