Aw, Severn, what so wrong about saying "Americans"? "Unitedstatesians" just doesn't work, and we have to have some name to call ourselves....and some beer we can call our own, national beer - but don't the Belgians own it now? Budweiser is a rice-based beer, and I think I like it best among the mass-produced American beers. If you put a Sapporo or Kirin label on it, you could double the price. It's cheaper than craft beers, and usually lower in alcohol content. It's good with pizza and bratwurst on a hot day, and it beats the hell outa Schlitz. I think the special can is kinda cute, but then I'm not a purist. -Joe-
