Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium? Post by: Rennsurfer on July 15, 2008, 01:36:19 am HAHA!! Yep, I read about this, earlier today. Why would such a bier rich history country like Belgium purchase a urine based wannabe company like that is beyond my scope of comprehension. But... to each their own, I suppose. The only good thing that ever came from A.B. were some of their American advertising campaigns. Truly funny. Like... the frogs, the New York accent speaking chameleons, and the "Real American Heros/Geniuses." That's what happens when a company tries to sell crappy substance to the public. They have to convince everyone that drinking that ilk will get the consumer attractive girls, money, and respect.
Bye, bye, A.B. Good riddance. One down, several more to get rid of. If we can get the U.S. bier companies to be required to make quality stuff like Sierra Nevada, Fat Tire Ale, Anchor Steam, etc. life would be much better. Rant mode status: off. Celebration mode status: on. To show my appreciation, I'm gonna go ride my bike down the street to the liquor warehouse and buy a bottle of Chimay Grand Premier. My sympathies to you, Belgium... you didn't deserve this plight. ;D Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium?

Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium? Post by: stealth67vw on July 15, 2008, 02:32:31 am You might as well drink from a toilet. Same intoxicating effect. I only drink Bud when it is forced on me. Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium? Post by: javabug on July 15, 2008, 02:58:55 am Its simple: Bud is American, to everyone outside of the U.S. (Belgium, for instance), its now an imported beer. Much more exotic!
;D :D ;D :D Me funny. Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium? Post by: John Rayburn on July 15, 2008, 07:43:14 am You might as well be drinking out of an exotic toilet.
Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium? Post by: Rennsurfer on July 15, 2008, 16:46:34 pm Bidèt?
Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium? Post by: John Rayburn on July 15, 2008, 17:41:13 pm That would be an exotic drinking fountain.
Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium? Post by: javabug on July 15, 2008, 18:50:53 pm Now you're getting it.
Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium? Post by: ian c on July 15, 2008, 19:10:33 pm from a business point of view , it makes perfect sense ....................
maybe its not about bringing budweiser to belgium , maybe its about bringing belgium beers to usa ;) ?? Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium? Post by: John Rayburn on July 15, 2008, 21:36:11 pm Now that would be a step in the right direction!
Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium? Post by: Sarge on July 16, 2008, 01:12:36 am Well, for "shit" beer, Anheiser-Busch sold for 52 BILLION dollars according to today's paper. Even when converted to Euros, thats a big stack of quid.
Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium? Post by: Sam K on July 16, 2008, 01:27:42 am Maybe they can buy Coors next and work on improving the quality there.
Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium? Post by: Rennsurfer on July 16, 2008, 02:06:28 am Maybe they can buy Coors next and work on improving the quality there. There is nothing that can help that tripe. The Coors family can rot in hell, as far as I'm concerned. They killed my Dad, then did nothing for my family thereafter. They have that to live with, forever. Back on topic... hopefully, this bizarre buyout will bring better Belgian bier(s) to the U.S. Lord knows we need it. The mainstream bile they pawn off to America is disgusting. Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium? Post by: yvre on July 16, 2008, 09:26:50 am ALL YOUR BEER ARE BELONG TO US!!!

Post by: javabug on July 16, 2008, 13:24:14 pm I heard they're planning a run of Bud cans with Chimay in them. Going to be some surprised Jim Bobs out there.
Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium? Post by: ESH on July 16, 2008, 13:42:27 pm There's only one Budweiser and it's not American or Belgian! :o

Also I presume Chimay is still independant? And not part of IntBev? Lets hope you guys dont get Stella forced onto you as thats tripe too! Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium?

And not part of IntBev? Lets hope you guys dont get Stella forced onto you as thats tripe too! Chimay has been available in the U.S. for quite some time... thank God. I've seen Stella Artois since 2006, here. Back then, it was hard to find. Now, it's everywhere. Even in our grocery stores. They're really trying to push it with advertising, lately. It's okay for a light... still better than any of our light stuff. To my knowledge, Chimay is still independent. I don't think they're part of IntBev... yet. Hope it stays that way, too. Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium? Post by: Prowagen on July 16, 2008, 16:15:33 pm If you like a light beer Leffe Blonde hits the spot for me or maybe a Hoegaarden if Leffe isn't available.

Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium? Post by: javabug on July 16, 2008, 22:33:26 pm Ya know, there's an awful lot of beer snobbery going on around here. Y'all ought'a be thankful you have any beer. There's starving children in third-world countries that would be happy for whatever beer they could get.
Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium? Post by: John Rayburn on July 16, 2008, 22:43:53 pm Well, let's send them some, then. Who'll donate?

Ands Stella is fine when you're drinking it, but really painful about 8 hours after you stop! Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium? Post by: Prowagen on July 17, 2008, 23:53:36 pm Rob, you can get Chimay Red in Morrissons... Ands Stella is fine when you're drinking it, but really painful about 8 hours after you stop! Can't get it in our local Morrisons but then i am in backwards country! You can get Chimay Blue in Asda, not keen on the blue. I can get red occasionally at Tesco's down here but they don't stock much of it. So I normally buy it all up the whole 10 bottles they have! And they're stubbies too not those nice big bottles you get in Chimay itself ! Oh after DAS Drag Day 5, I have gotten into Bitburger too thats not bad! Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium? Post by: Russell on July 18, 2008, 09:31:30 am Stella is good beer ? is what you guys are saying ?????
If so your wrong its crap. Bud, Miller, Coors are proper lagers brewed with proper water. The only good beers in europe are German, Scottish and probaly with the best lager in the world the Danish. Oh and maybe Trinidad "RED Stripe" When you talk a Chimay beer, you mean ale not lager but most eurpoeans call it beer but i think its actually ale. Now we have the english lager carling..... yuk. However they have some very good ales. American lagers are great you can have ten and still drive you can still get it going and best still no hangovers. Im pretty convinced that this was a buisness plan to market Stella and Becks in america better, the opnly down side with this is they will then have a lot more drunks and end up like the the europeans, in amercia they drink to be soicalable or to refresh, in europe we drink to get drunk ! ;D Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium?

I remember getting really wrecked on that in a nightclub when I was about 17! I can't even smell it now without feeling like vomiting! :-X I'll agree with the Miller though - one of our local pubs has it on tap and it doesn't taste bad at all! With Stella on draft you can taste the chemicals but the first two or three slip down so easily! :D Title: Re: Budweiser, the beer of Belgium?
