beerWhat would the Budweiser frog say?

U.S. consumers filed a lawsuit on Tuesday in federal court against AB InBev for allegedly watering down Budweiser. The company, which makes not only Budweiser but also Stella Artois, controls 39 percent of the U.S. beer market and is currently looking to expand with a bid to buy Modelo, a Mexican brewing company that currently controls 7 percent of the American market.

The complaint alleges AB InBev mislabels the amount of alcohol in Bud Ice, Bud Light Platinum, Michelob, King Cobra, Busch Ice, Black Crowne, Bud Light Lime, Hurricane High Gravity Lager, Natural Ice, and Michelob Ultra.

An AB InBev spokesman called the complaints “completely false” and insisted “our beers are in full compliance with all alcohol labeling laws.” Read more at Bloomberg News.

  1. “Watering down Budweiser” is clearly an oxymoron! Perhaps the consumer advocacy groups should have argued that Budweiser has been used to water down water.

  2. RAM, soft drinks cause obesity (because without a nanny mayor, people drink them as long as they want, while alcoholic drinks, after a while, cause people to fall asleep on the floor and interrupt their caloric intake) and Budweiser is clearly a soft drink. Please notice that Mayor Bloomberg does not like soft drinks at all (check out the new regulations about newborns’ formula in NYC hospitals) thus I am afraid Budweiser is in trouble, unless they can advertise themselves as pure water. Do you think that would be false advertising?
