Anheuser-Busch thought that sales would drop after they sold out to foreign interests. Doesn't matter to me Bud Lite, Bud Ice still taste the same and go down way to easy. :drink3:

It's been years since I bought anything from AB...and longer than that since I drank a Bud. There are SO many BETTER beers out there.

Friends don't let friends drink bad beer!

Stick to the local micro-brewers :drink3:

Around here it's Widmer Bros, Deschutes, and Scuttlebutt, all micros, Butt is brewed in Everett. I quit drinking Bugwasher 35 years ago, and that included Red Hook, which started out as a Seattle micro but now is brewed in swimming pool sized lagoons right next to Bugwasher since AB bought them out years ago. Bud must be filtered through a horse to taste that awful, and MOLSON always tastes green like CARLING used to. I do miss STROHS if it's A) stil around and B) if it isn't now MILLER in a different bottle.

Oh man, Strohs was my favorite! For awhile I think I kept the company in business.
