hopefully inbev will improve it and make it something resembling real beer.  i would rather drink a dark beer that has flavor then some watery alcohol sludge that they pass off as american.

Bud and Bud light are very, very, popular brands of beer, not only in the U.S., but, worldwide. Trust me, the new owners will not change a thing. 

Remember when Coke tried to change Coke?

Dud Weiser used to be more of a Traditional Blonde Ale, but it has been trashed through the Generations, hopefully this will help it come back! If not then the new owners just got rid of one of their Bigger Competition!    Rainier and Oly were up there with popularity, especially here in the Pacific Northwest... First Oly bought out Rainier, and closed the Old Rainier Brewery.... Then Miller Bought Out Oly to not only get them, but to also have the rights to Rainier, which gave them control of the NW like they wanted....  Fast Forward to now, and you can barely get ahold of either beer around here.... Miller mainly keeps them both to the Milwaukie Area, and Exports them to Europe..... Ofcourse with all of that, neither one of them taste like they used to! >:(

I'm with SgtDel on this one...Nothing will change.  Bud is a large name...often the only American beer in European pubs.  In 1995 Interbrew out of Belgium bought Labatt and nothing changed beer-wise, all it did was give the Belgians a small share of Canadian beer profits (actually increased international sales).  Also, remember when Molson and Coors merged three years ago?  That didn't change anything, except make half-and-half cases available.

..Really?... CNN actually said 'a Belgian Company from Germany'?? Priceless

As for me...Molson Stock Ale, forever.

michelob light  for me  ;D

x2. used to drink strictly bud light, but i guess the kidneys are wearing down. had to switch my selection to avoid hangovers. I have a hard time drinking any AB product now with the Germany move.
