Thread Name: BS: Budweiser
Subject: RE: BS: Budweiser
"I'll drink it if its the only thing offered," ...I won't. I'll drink lemonaid first. It's been about 22 years since I tasted Bud...and I poured out the last third of the can.

"... thoughts on a foreign company buying such a recognizable brand name?"

That's a different issue. Enormous amounts of the US is being bought by overseas interests....and even where ownership is retained, production is being moved..usually to China. A company in The Netherlands now own a huge supermarket chain where I live..("Royal Ahold"...guess what they are called?)

I am not trained in business economics, but I cannot imagine it is a good sign...except for those who rake in one huge profit and sit back & ignore the rest of the picture.
