    Funny, I just saw that on BBC news and was thinking the exact same thing.

    Interesting.

    I'm not much of a beer drinker because of the carbs and calories but just recently gave Beck's Light a try and thought it was pretty good considering it was only 67 calories or something like that. Inbev owns Beck's.

    First thing I thought, too. Thomas' peeps make some of the best beer in the world. I spent two days there, just going from brewery to brewery, beer to beer.

    At least I think it was two days.

    I hope they still keep the Busch family around for commercials. Their creepy family portraits and wooden delivery would be missed, at least by me.

    They will not change the flavor of Bud...the people who like it are already used to the watery stuff. I'm talking from personal experience. On this one BBQ I threw...I cooked for these softball friends of mine who only drink Bud. Well, I stacked the cooler with nothing but imported stuff instead. Care to take a guess how they reacted? They hated my beer...they immediately took a quick trip to the supermarket, and bought themselves a case of Bud, lol.

    Sorry, but if people have been programmed to like ****...they will continue drinking **** no matter what, lol.

    Expect to see more and more American icons go away and become internationalized. Globalization is good... for some. Sorry, maybe too political for a beer thread!
