"Can you imagine a world without Budweiser? We can."

I bet Miller dream of this scenario a lot.

Holy shit how is that not a thing. People in trailer park inflatable pools can be classy too. Lol

But srs id drink it. I like margaritas.

 

Following theory can work, but if you start from wrong assumptions you often wind up with wrong answers.

 

Man, don't get me all nervous with misleading titles like that.

 

Thank you for that laugh i needed it after work tonight. I believe you and i were on the same page...

 

Such a world already exists. Mine!

 

Yeah, what other people choose to drink doesn't really matter to me at all, for some reason .

 

Well AB is buying them so probably not

 

I'm pretty sure Miller would prefer to see that position reversed (or not at all).

 

My Dad says that back in the 50's "if you didn't have Schaefer, you didn't have a bar" (at least in the north east)
. The arrogance got them in the end.

 

The constant bashing of beers like Bud is kinda ridiculous. Don't like it don't drink it, I rarely drink Bud but I do drink AALs when I feel like doing so. As far as the marketing side that's their business too, as in they're business, they have shareholders their commodity is beer. It's a free market economy if you don't like either part of their business don't buy it. Personally I agree, I could care less what others drink, the craft place I go to I'd say the most popular beer bottle on the bar would easily be Bud Light. On Fridays it's packed so add Coronas on Fridays. They have over 35 taps as well covering most styles from Pils to IPAs to Stouts and Porters. Lots of beer drinkers just want a nice place to drink their beer, hang out, have a few wings and such, and a huge amount of what they want isn't necessarily craft.

 

A world without Budweiser is called heaven.

 

Just think, in 20 years some little craft brewery somewhere will make a Bud clone as a throwback to days gone by.

 

People will always drink aal and bud isn't going anywhere. I do think that the way the market is changing well see more and more people start drinking craft and they will have to adapt. Even in a world where the majority of people are drinking better beer they will continue to buy up breweries or launch their own to compete. I still think it be great to see the majority of beer be non light lager styles even if I don't see it affecting the big guys as much as this article thinks.

 

...I'd have to switch to Coors Light when I watch the Bills on Sundays

 

Articles like this are little more than internet pornography for craft beer geeks.

The best part is the photo caption: "Revelers celebrate with a pint after prohibition is repealed" under the photo where nobody is drinking a pint. It must have been a symbolic gesture by the authors to point out that a text often makes claims that don't accurately reflect the picture.

 

The basic idea behind the article is that AB is pushing a product that is slowly but surely dying out in popularity. As the beer drinking population ages, the younger beer drinkers have no interest in beers like Bud.

I don't recall the exact statistic, but I remember reading fairly recently that a large percentage of Millennials have never had Bud - and don't care to.
