Good of them to offer this help. Still won't buy their crappy beer, though.

The Anheuser-Busch Brewery stopped canning beer this week to can drinking water to ship to areas hard hit by Hurricane Harvey.

A spokesperson for Anheuser-Busch said more than 50,000 cans of emergency drinking water were packed up to be sent to Baton Rouge and on to families who may not have safe drinking water in the storm's aftermath.

The water will be used at Red Cross shelters and distributed by volunteers.

Bud and Bud Light are terrible.

hey also lie about changing the formula. Bud tastes nothing like it used to. It used to be a rather hoppy pils with a good head and some bitterness in the taste. Bud now tastes sweet, has no head whatsoever soon after pouring. Bud and Bud Light are designed to drink in gulps from the bottle COLD. That's the only way to drink one. That's how they are designed.

I remember getting handed some when I was gutting a house in Livingston after the floods. Was a little disappointed when I realized they were handing me water and not beer. Awesome for them to do it though.

Their beer is fine. Their flagship is a no frills adjunct lager.

No one thinks you're cool because you only drink hopinator hopenstein XI. Everyone and their mother drinks craft beer now.

My uncle got a shite load after a tornado hit his house. They were just dropping cases upon cases off to people in the tornado path. He showed up to the farm one day with a truck load of the stuff.

It's horrible if it's not cold. It's just tolerable if it's cold... But, I guess I'd go ahead and drink it if it were a life and death situation.

I have a can from Katrina I saved.

On a side note, it is said in a blind taste test you can't tell the difference between their beer and their water.
