So will we have 'America Light' also?

Quote:ST. LOUIS (KTVI) – “America is in Your Hands.” That’s the slogan for Anheuser-Busch’s upcoming summer ad campaign, which will see the brewer make several patriotic tweaks to its labeling on Budweiser cans and bottles.

The advertising campaign launches June 1 with a new commercial, as well as billboards and other select online promotions, but the cans and bottles will be available as early as May 23.

A promotional image obtained by our partners at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch shows off the new changes:

– The word “America” replaces “Budweiser”
– The famed “King of Beers” motto is switched out for “E Pluribus Unum” (the nation’s motto)
– The “A-B” logo/crest will be changed to display “US”
– The trademark has been changed to read “Indivisible since 1776”
– The lyrics to the “Star Spangled Banner” will now appear in the banner at the top of the label

The ‘America’ labeling will be discontinued following the November presidential election.

Meanwhile, Anheuser-Busch also plans to add an image of the Statue of Liberty’s torch on Budweiser cans and bottles in support of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic teams. Those cans and bottles are expected to appear in stores later this month.

Very fitting. It seems this country is run by a bunch of drunks. And more are behind those. Hick…

Let the liberal butthurt begin!

Ummm, aren't they a Belgian company now?

Very funny considering they are not even American in origin or ownership.

Stupid.

People who don't like it, probably weren't buying much Budweiser anyway. Trump voters should eat this up.

So a company owned by a Belgium conglomerate is going to try to re-Americanize themselves?

In my experience Bud Heavy is the beer of choice among the illegal immigrant population in these parts.

I like it.

Go figure - the token liberal in this thread thinks something being called "America" is stupid.

When InBev bought Anheuser-Busch in 2008, there became an opportunity for domestic brewers and a, potential, liability for the new AB InBev company.

Beer sales, in general, have declined since then. Of the sales, craft beers have grown and Budweiser sales have continued to decline. It isn't hard to see why a advertising service sought this kind of marketing.

It looks like AB InBev made a Schlitz decision by "going for the gusto" and taking over Anheuser-Busch. Schlitz ruled until they changed their formula and Budweiser took over as the American brew of choice. Well, until InBev.

Quote: 30 Jul 2015
Anheuser-Busch InBev, the owner of Budweiser and Bud Light, said Thursday that sales of its two top beers have continued to fall "in the low single digits" in the United States in the second quarter -- despite a ton of marketing for both brands.
Sales of Bud and Bud Light have been waning for years, putting the brewer in a tough spot. Wall Street isn't pleased either. Shares of AB InBev (BUD) fell 5% Thursday.http://money.cnn.com/2015/07/30/investing/budweiser-bud-light-sales-anheuser-busch-inbev/

Used to drink lots of Bud in the Army. Don't really drink much beer now, but don't have anything against beer drinkers in general or Bud drinkers as long as they don't run over anybody I love, tear up anything I own, steal from me or keep my wife awake at night.

As for Budweiser, it can do what it wants. It's a free country and they got the money to do it. Somebody will probably even buy a can of it thinking it makes them patriotic. Whatever gets them through the day.

Oh, and I'm a liberal. And I think butthurt must have been invented by the same pig-minded, small-souled dipstick who thought up libturd and 'Chimpy' (for George W. Bush). Really elevates the debate.

But again. Whatever gets some of you through your life.

Why would the "liberal's" have issue with this? Just wondering where your are trying to go or reach on this.

In general, they likely don't. But because I...one person who happens to be a liberal...says that I think it's just a stupid marketing idea, a couple folks here have to turn it into something it isn't. Mostly because they're nothing but trolls.

Figures the Flag haters would hate this too.

First thing I thought of, wondering if this was a joke thread, was hunh-

Glomming onto "Make America (Budweiser) great again"? haha.

Not much of a Bud fan anyway, this won't change that.
