Budweiser renamed ‘America’ for the summer

Patriots rejoice: You can now literally get drunk on America. It will taste a lot like Budweiser, though, because the iconic beer is being rebranded as “America” throughout the 2016 election.

Anheuser-Busch announced Tuesday that ‘America’ will be replacing ‘Budweiser’ on the beers and bottles from May 23 until the end of the presidential election in November.

Aiming to “inspire drinkers to celebrate America and Budweiser’s shared values of freedom and authenticity,” the new cans and bottles will feature lyrics from patriotic songs such as The Star Spangled Banner and America the Beautiful. ‘E Pluribus Unum’ will replace ‘King of Beers,’ though Budweiser’s distinctive bow tie logo and cursive font will remain.

A picture of the Statue of Liberty will appear on Budweiser bottles as well as 16- and 25-ounce tallboy cans.

Ricardo Marques, a vice president from Budweiser, told Co.Magazine that with the Olympics and an animated election season, this was “maybe the most American summer ever.”

Many on social media, however, pointed out that that Anheuser-Busch, originally founded as an American brewery in 1852, is owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev, a Belgian company.

A spokesman for Anheuser-Busch insisted to CNNMoney that Budweiser is thoroughly American, even though the parent company is from Belgium.

"All Budweiser served in the US is brewed in the US," said the Anheuser-Busch spokesman, according to CNN Money. "This includes the beer inside all of the 'America' cans and bottles. This 'America' packaging will not be available outside the US"

While Budweiser is already the most popular brand of the beer in the United States, the summer marketing campaign might be able to garner more sales. Beers sales are generally 13 percent high during summer months than the yearly average, with this number spiking to 30 to 40 percent higher during the week of July 4, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Budweiser® Radio Ad • Here Comes The King Theme Song http://youtu.be/iBbFuXLPOI8/

should call bunch of stomaeers Mmmmmm~~~~i like that.........HooooooWeeeeeee

Great ! One thing we would willfully shove down .

Well.....it WILL make dealing with this election easier if we're drunk, so there's that.

Right now.. It may be the only thing all polical parties & SJWs agree on.

:

I bet they have investment in it too .

Oh yea, BIG money maker.
The song has psychological impact as well. " The king is here "

.... Say what?

Budweiser,makes the Bud Wiser!

And they also dodge the crap out of their taxes in Belgium.
Paying something like a 4% tax rate instead of like 30%.
...That's as American as you get!


If that's true then I better read a story soon about some illegal Chinese immigrants making all the beer.
That's American!

So what happens when you order a "Bud" and they don't have it? Do they just hand you an "America"?

I drink Shiner Bock. Bud is not real beer!

Hmmmm I wonder if sales are down
Sounds like a gimmick to me..
Up here in Alaska there are so many micro breweries now and IPA's
Not many drink the old standards..

I used to drink Budwieser when it was American. Made in St . Louis, MO! Now it's owned by some euro krout country. It doesn't even taste the same. So if I'm gonna drink krout it will be from holland. Heineken, yummmm. Now that is good beer.

Yep Mental thing,
I took the tour also. I don't know what it looks like lately. But the décor was definitely Old European.
It is not that I didn't like it. I did. It had some class. But...it was a WTF!, where the hell am I!? Experience.

Some distillery shoulda put the name on their bourbon....Bourbon says America way more than beer.

Speaking of bourbon....just about that time

I don't drink.

** " This 'America' packaging will not be available outside the US" "
