Budweiser is changing it's name

[seefish]

I just can't see the commercial with three frogs croaking "A" "mer" "ica", it just doesn't work....

They would have to hire a 4th frog.

AB-Inbev: "Either you're with America, or you're with the craft beer terrorists."

Speaking of which, have we talked about those horrible anti-microbrew Bud commercials that are like, "This aint for sippin. It aint got no fruit in it. It aint fer talkin' about, or tastin', or enjoyin'. It's fer shovin' in yer fat face while you scratch yer hairy parts!"

They must be hurting BAD to keep trying all these different ad campaigns.

I guess, "brewed the hard way" didn't work.

Question, I dont see AB InBev on the new label anywhere, and the "Budweiser" logo is not the most prominent feature on either the can or design...
How is this legal to more or less downplay the source and name of the beer for some marketing campaign?

They would have to hire a 4th frog.

Unfortunatly, would most likely be an H1B visa holding 4th frog...

And they can brand / label / rename their products whatever they like.
I do not buy them...will not start to buy them - but don't get me wrong...I am not a beer-snob - I NEVER turn down a freebie or twelve...

some of us think it still is

and is that your car in your avatar? you really have a tap attached to your trunk?

even if it's just for show & not actually hooked to a keg, that's still the absolute effing coolest thing ever in the history of coolest things

I agree w/your States Rights statement. And yes that's my car, but the tap is just for show and to start interesting parking lot talks. LOL BTW I see lots of people in my rear view mirror taking pictures of the tap. LOL

Just a dumb marketing gimmick trying to appeal to the clueless masses' sense of "patriotism" in time for summer.

If there was actual truth in advertising, the Budweiser frogs would probably be saying...."Butt"...."Wipe"...."Er"

Personally I would have chosen "Burly men with guns" Land.

Well, there's San Francisco....

As soon as I saw a piece about it, all I could hear in my head was the theme from Team America

AMERICA!!!!!!! F*CK YEAH!

Anyone have a good clone recipe for America?

Here's an extract version from my LHBS that's close.

maybe EVERY brewery in the country should brew some America

everyone suggest to their local brewhouse to brew up a batch of any style beer and call it America. aim for an Independence Day tap date

let's make this a thing

I'll be there in 2 months for vacation on the lake. I will be sure to get a 6 pack of it if it's available. It'll look cool on the shelf!

Most of rest of the world calls us "Yankees" or "Yanks" not Americans. But I am a Mariners fan and don't ever want to be called a Yankee.

To foreigners, a Yankee is an American.
To Americans, a Yankee is a Northerner.
To Northerners, a Yankee is an Easterner.
To Easterners, a Yankee is a New Englander.
To New Englanders, a Yankee is a Vermonter.
And in Vermont, a Yankee is somebody who eats pie for breakfast.
