I think I'll have an import... grab me a Bud.

For those who haven't heard already, Belgian brewer InBev just bought out Anheuser-Busch for $52 billion USD.

This means the "great American icon" is now owned by a European company.

I personally could care less since I don't drink Budweiser and the whole "American icon" thing means nothing to me, but a lot of people, especially those in, uhhh, "red" states in the U.S. are furious. I've read comments elsewhere of people swearing off Bud Light in favor of Miller and Coors because of this, lol

I just never really liked bud, it was kind of flavorless. So this has absolutely no emotional impact on me at all and I don't give a hoot either. I saw on the nightly news last night that the teamsters union is even getting all fussy about it and everything.

There is a european beer called "Budweiser". Alot of bars sell it here as well as the, well, (now) other European owned Budweiser.

Alot of people talk about this Budweiser as being better than the American one, but when i last tried it i wasn't so convinced. But then, i'm also someone that's not a huge fan of Guiness either, yet loads of people love it.

Best beer for me is probably Stella Artois. There were a number of beers in Australia that i loved drinking too, one of them i really got into latterly was a beer made by Fosters called "Pure Blonde". I would love to be able to buy that over here in the UK but so far have not seen any places selling it.

I have yet to try an Australian beer that I don't like. Stella, Fosters, Toohey's, and a couple of others -- they're all fantastic.

Tooheys is nice. I loved their TV ad's they had.

Why the wha?

I don't care about the beer soo much since I'm a Corona drinker for the most part, I want to know what they plan to do with Busch Gardens. That place rocks, you just show them your ID and they give you free beer to prepare you for the roller coasters.

I dont care much for guiness either, or any other dark beers or stouts. I drink coors most of the time, it suits my purpose. My favoritest of all time is Labatts Blue, and its from Canada. I like cider too.

Doesn't drinking beer make you barf before a roller coaster ride?

I could take a nap on a rollercoaster if they'd keep it going long enough. There's no way I'd ever hurl.

Coors = Rocky Mountain Piss Water

I drink Bud Light and I could care less who owns the company.

I prefer Killian's Red though.

Yuengling is one of my favorite domestics, although I just recently learned that it's not available everywhere in the U.S. Apparently they're very selective about where they send it for some reason.

There is a Lager brewed in Scotland called Tennants. I've grown to like that, especially on tap and not in the can. You walk into a bar and ask for a pint and it'll be really nicely chilled.

Really good if you are really thirsty.

Beer tastes really good when you're throat is dry and you've done a hard days labour.

I drink Bud light and as long as they don't changed the taste, I couldn't care less who owns it.

In my opinion, every beer tastes better on tap than in a bottle/can.

I'll have to try Tennants. We have this place nearby called Beers of the World. It's essentially a supermarket for beer. They have hundreds of different world beers and the aisles are sorted by country.

I agree with that! That's a good drinkable beer. I like Modelo Especial, Corona, Foster's and such. Pretty much any lager with a good clean moderate flavor. If I'm buying the cheap stuff...Miller Lite.

My brother lives just outside Tulsa in Oklahoma and he manages to buy Tennants in a place that does the same as that. So some people do sell it. But like i say, the can is alright but it's miles better on the tap.
