I've yet to see anyone upset

mostly just people calling out the Bud's hypocrisy

I find the beards and hipster mustaches to be an open target for mockery. I've told my brother, if i ever open a brewery, i'd be the first brewer that was clean shaven, and conservative.

which is funny because go to any beer festival or release day and you won't find that stereotype to be that common

most big beer nerds are just fat dudes with beards in a t-shirt and cargo shorts

Not quite. You might be in the minority though.

So they can't make commercials until craft breweries have the same marketing budget? Define equal and fair.

Exactly. First rule of liberalism- if you can't win the debate, question their character.

Budweiser uses the same philosphy to make their ads as their beer. Concerned about everything but how their beer tastes.

I wasn't butt hurt at all, but it's just sad that the core group of their drinkers and who that ad is marketed for are too ignorant to understand the beer market.

Hopefully the Arse rewind will be posted soon so I can focus my Butthurt elsewhere.

Think I spotted him at Casamentos

Sad would be caring about a beer market when you're not in the beer sell business. There's a lot of shite that people need to have a grasp of. Beer markets aint one of them.

You are so full of shite man.
I guess maybe there is some confusion on your part or a misunderstanding on what the word craft beer or "threat" might mean.

The competition between the major beer companies is so damn intense that they know in every market when sales or up and down to the tenth of a percentage. Trust me, the emergence of smaller players in the market has been a huge issue for Inbev over the last 5 years or so and it's already been shown that they have responded by buying other breweries at a rapid pace.

I agree with your statment.

But are you saying AB are the liberals?

Mega conglomerate, small business crushing, unfair competition liberals?

Yeah, I get it. Just a general poke at those who don't understand that Bud owns some of the beers they were making fun of.

It's all good. I did find the commercial kind of funny.
I drank three miller lights yesterday too so I have street cred.

But many of the BMC drinkers here are really hoping us craft enthusiasts are getting upset. We really don't care. YOu can't name one craft drinker here that will make fun of another poster for what they drink, because we really don't care.


you can't be serious here

So now AB is the government.

They may be a lot of things. Liberal isn't one of them.
