Budweiser seeks approval to be called ‘America’ this summer

That’s right. The company wants to replace “Budweiser,” the name of the beer, with the word “America,” the name of our country, for the summer. According to AdAge, Anheuser-Busch InBev has filed the above label for approval from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.
In addition to the aforementioned phrases, the word-heavy label would include, in all capital letters, the following: “Land of the Free,” “Home of the Brave” and “From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters this land was made for you and me.”
Don’t worry — there’s more. It’s topped with a diamond containing “U.S.” and a smaller “United States of America” and that is topped with the lyrics from the first four bars of the “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
It’s hard to imagine a more patriotic label, particularly for a brand that’s not even technically American. In 2008, Anheuser-Busch was purchased by InBev, a beer conglomerate based in Belgium and Brazil.

This is a very interesting marketing strategy. My gut says it will go over well but things like this could very easily back fire.

It is the summer season and these products are for the 4th and memorial day holidays.

rednecks will be falling all over themselves to drink disgusting beer from a foreign company because it says "America" on it

Rednecks will skip right over the Busch and natty and splurge on America. It's brilliant. Just like Coke putting people's names on the label

Michelob Ultra should change their name on the cans to South Louisiana.

It's made in America... by Americans. Is that not better than American companies that sell crap made in China?

Technically it's crap made by Americans who take their orders from Belgium. Doesn't sound too American to me.

AB-InBev sold American workers down the river when AB sold out.

I honestly can't remember the last time I had a Bud.
