Greatest Beer Thread Ever!

Did he happen to sell wine in Atlanta in the late 60's/early 70's? My dad used to joke that I look nothing like him. His exact words were, "I think that one just got caught in my trap".

I don't think he'd ever been to Atlanta, Suz. Your Dad sounds like he was a funny guy...mine was too. I look exactly like mine. I have his eyes...no mistaking I'm his daughter.

So will I be drinking America Light this summer or will they call it America Light?

Budweiser renames itself 'America' to inspire drinkers

(Reuters) - What could be more American than standing in a backyard at a barbecue while holding a beer on the Memorial Day weekend in the United States? Budweiser thinks it has the answer: Holding a beer called America.

The brewer said on Tuesday it will rename its eponymous Budweiser brew as "America" from May 23 through to the Nov. 8 presidential election to "inspire drinkers to celebrate America."

During that period, cans and bottles of the beer will be adorned with U.S. icons such as the Statue of Liberty, phrases from the Pledge of Allegiance and lyrics from "America the Beautiful" and "The Star Spangled Banner." The change will coincide with the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The marketing effort sent both Budweiser and "America" trending on Twitter in the United States, with social media users reacting in befuddlement and amusement.

"Pretty cheeky for Budweiser to rename its beer 'America' considering it’s now a Belgian company," tweeted T.C. Sottek (@chillmage), the managing editor of technology news website Verge.

Budweiser is owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev, which is based in Belgium.

"'No officer I am not drunk, I've only had 15 Americas. Are you really going to arrest me for enjoying some nice cold freedom?' @Budweiser," tweeted Meme (@ArturoChaidez).

I got a great idea, let's take literally the worst commercial beer the United States has ever produced in her entire 240 year history, and rename it "America" and sell it all over the planet. If the rest of the planet doesn't look upon America with disgust yet, just wait until Busch is done with us!!

There must be some guidelines that this has violated, I'm reporting this to Bryan.

You joke, but that s**t sells in Japan and it is not inexpensive.

You talkin' shit about America?

I am sure that is more "look at me I am cool" than fondness for the beer, however it may also be that overseas Budweiser is closer to a true Budweis and a bit less like stale water that is Budweiser in America.

I like Butt America Light.

If they didn't re-name a pot of Belgian horse loo "America," then I wouldn't have to talk crap about it.

I like Butt America Light.

It's okay to like bad beer. Not a thing wrong with it in the world. Lots of my besties and loved ones like bad beer. But they know it's bad beer. You've been calling it 'butt lite' from the beginning, so I figure you fit into that category.

Its an acquired taste.

Add half a shot of 5-hr energy and half a shot of Everclear to a Red Bull. We'd have to pull a drunk Suzanimal off the ceiling.

ETA: you match the flavors of the 5hr and the red bull, or try to complement them

I'm not crazy about Mr Animal's fancy scotch.

but I'll drink it in a pinch

Mr A calls my America Light "sex in a canoe beer" because "it's fucking close to water". My Fourth of July is going to be so patriotic. I'm gonna have America Beer, hang my flag, set off some fireworks, and I may even buy me one of those flag bathing suits.

Just be sure you secure a permit from the local authorities.

Oh, when I was on vaycay, someone left some of those frozen capri sun fruity wine drinks in the freezer. I drank the peach ones and they were damn good. They also left some ice cream and I ate that.

Well, it's not bad to me but I understand it's not "good" beer.
