This Bud’s for EU
Who do those Europeans think they are, pretending to show us Americans how to brew beer? Hop pellets, rice…ginseng, guarana. B-to-the-E doggg, it’s what fine brewing is all about:
BE is Budweiser’s newest entry in a long line of innovative beers. This remarkable new product combines beer with caffeine, ginseng and guarana giving you a new malt beverage with a variety of ingredients.
BE has a bold and bracing beer taste with lightly sweet/tart tones, and a “wow” factor in the finish. Created for those contemporary adults who are looking for the latest flavors and variety of mixtures to keep up with their fast paced and highly social lifestyles, BE takes beer to the next level.
It’s different. It’s exciting. It’s beer with something extra!
How’d that work out?
Anheuser-Busch Companies Inc. will reformulate its alcoholic energy drinks to remove caffeine and other stimulants they contain as part of a nationwide legal settlement, it announced Thursday.
An investigation by attorneys general of 11 states found the largest U.S. brewer was marketing its caffeinated alcoholic beverages to minors and misrepresenting the drinks’ health benefits, New York state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said.
Though the company agreed to make changes, it insisted its Tilt and Bud Extra drinks were not marketed to minors.
Any more questions about how the King of Beers became the Belgian biatch? Europe is kicking our ass, admit it.
