An Americal icon taken over by the Belgians !

The company responsible for Stella Artois beer has bought the company that makes Budweiser in the US.

 

I wonder if the quality of Budweiser will improve as a result.

Well it couldn't get any worse, water has more flavour than Budweiser !

Oh so true. Try drinking Heineken for months and months then try it.

Oh it can get worse. Try drinking some Pabst Blue Ribbon, or the fortunately no longer available Schlitz, "The beer that made Milwaukee famous".

Hmm, I quite like a cold Bud. Clean and refreshing taste, then again, I like water.

Don't like Heineken or Stella, both have a quite nasty aftertaste IMO

You've never had Old Milwaukee or Rainier?

If Stella Artois is anything to go by, I doubt it! That stuff is gross.

Lol! Meister Brau. I drank a case of that cheap swill with a buddy of mine one night years ago and thought someone parked a truck on my head when I awoke the next morning. Worst hangover ever. His wife still mocks him for choking into the commode most of the next day.

WSe used to have a saying when i was at sea. #The beer that made Milwaukee famous, will make a Schlitzhead out of you." It was very good for giving one a very large head in the morning and one would be able to sh!t through the eye of a darning needle at forty paces.

I recall that Schlitz ads said something like, "You only go around once so grab all the gusto you can", or something stupid like that. Sounds like you grabbed some gusto at sea, Cory. What was that about?

 

If you play one of the tracks - I think CD #2 - from Cream's Those Were The Days CD set, the last "song" is an ad for Falstaff beer that they recorded back in the '60s. It is so corny you can't even believe they stooped to do that.
