With the re labeling, I expect to taste water, barley, malt, & yeast, with just a hint of a broken health care system.

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

“From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters this land was made for you and me.”


Does the marketing team realize that song had another verse?



This land is your land This land is my land
From California to the New York island;
From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me.

As I was walking that ribbon of highway,
I saw above me that endless skyway:
I saw below me that golden valley:
This land was made for you and me.

I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
And all around me a voice was sounding:
This land was made for you and me.

When the sun came shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting:
This land was made for you and me.

As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."
But on the other side it didn't say nothing,
That side was made for you and me.

In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people,
By the relief office I seen my people;
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?


Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.

Meh, doesn't have to be so binary. Room for both ends of the taste/quality/price spectrum.

I love craft beer.

I also love Bud Heavy.

Come the 4th you won't catch me drinking anything else but the KING. Per tradition. This is America, after all.

Good idea from a marketing perspective

The summer time always brings people together to get outside and drink some beer on a hot day.

We also have the 4th of July marking America's 240th "birthday"

The Olympics are this summer which always brings out patriotism

And finally, we have a lot of rednecks (and Budweiser's target consumers) wanting to "Make America Great Again!"

If you're Bud, why not capitalize on all of that sentiment.

Hell, sometime I just like to grab an old fashioned Bud and think back to a time when men were men, and beer wasn't some artisanal craft bullshite with a goofy name and a $15 a 6-pack price tag!


I hate I have only one upvote to give. My first beer was with my dad while fishing. I was 15, and it was a lukewarm Coors Banquet Beer. Back when real men drank real beer. Too many Ultra drinking sissie boys or hipster craft beer only types these days. Nothing wrong with a PBR or a Bud Heavy

Budweiser is terrible. America is not. The two words should not be associated with each other. And it's a foreign beer anyway.

Wrong. A true beer connoisseur has a wide range of likes and dislikes when it comes to beer taste. Is Bud (America) my favorite? No, but it has its place in the repertoire (which is usually around national holidays). That doesn't make it trashy, unless you are a liberal and against national holidays.

Look at all the pinko commie beer snobs in this thread.


i believe someone has already pointed out the fact that Budweiser is made by Belgians and Brazilians.

I'll stick to my local "snobby" true small-town 'Merican brewers.

I mean, just look at the anti-American snobbery: LINK

Ice cold 12oz Budweiser longneck is hard to beat.

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.

Maybe this will inspire the SJW's to drown themselves since they are attempting to frick this country up.

Well that's a pretty shitty/arrogant idea of them. But I wouldn't expect anything more from them. Why not Samuel Adams instead? They make WAYYYY better beer and Samuel Adams is brewing at one of the founding regions of this nation. Or how about no beer puts the name of this nation on it's label and just carries on as, you know, a brewery.
