I love the flip-top Grolsch bottles. Had those a bunch over in the U.K as it was much more common to find it.

We have Amstel...Bavaria and Alfa sound a bit more unfamiliar. I can't really remember what beer they gave us when we played in Amsterdam, but I love that city. I hope we come back in the fall.

You people and your trendy tastes in beer. Obviously, people who like Bud Light are just mainstream idiots who also drive pickup trucks and live in the south.

I like american beer, so what? Also, lets not diss on the High Life...its the champaigne of beers you know.

American beers have their appeal I suppose, but you cant deny brewers that have been going since 1516....

And obviously everybody who doesn't like Bud Light is a trendy hipster.
Hey, Blue Moon is produced by Coors...

Seems to me that cheap American beer vs. Micro brews is not unlike fast food franchises vs. local food joints...
Some are trash, some are trendy, and others are hidden gems of delicious wonder...

Has anyone here tries Tuborg? It a good Danish beer. It was in a Simpsons episode once. How about Tuborg? 'The beer of Danish kings'.

Inbev would never do a commercial like this and that's a damn shame. If this deal goes through, it would kill St. Louis and it would be a huge loss for the United States as a whole.

Haha...I'm not from St. Louis so I think that commercial is horrible. It's a terrible song, and I don't give a damn about the Cardinals. My friendly take, haha.

Or mainstream idiots who have no money in college (that was me). Or mainstream idiots who have no money after college. Or mainstream idiots who never went to college. Or just mainstream idiots. Not sure about the pickup trucks and living in the South part.

No I'm just being a dick. I say drink what you like, but unless you've tried the other "trendy" beers you don't know if you like 'em or not.

There's a pub in New Orleans who has a good selection of international beers, U.S. micro-brews, and then the Buds and Millers and so on. There was always one friend of mine that came along but always drank Bud Light, and I asked why he never tried in of the others. He said, "I like to drink domestic." I then reminded him the definition of 'domestic' and how most of the un-'domestic' beers in there were actually brewed in the U.S. He kind of gave me a blank stare.

And historically speaking, the Bud Lights and Miller Lites and so on out there, are far more trendy than the micro-brews and international beers popular now.

I've had several different micro and macro brews both foreign and domestic. I love trying new beers. I just happen to also really like Budweiser products.

The subject matter is irrelevant. The simple point I'm trying to make here is that this is a company that has pride in it's hometown and chose to use it's advertising dollars to show that and to celebrate the achievements of a team that means everything to this city. Few billion dollar companies do that that I know of. And that will all disappear when Inbev takes over.

Oh, and I happen to like the song. It may be cock-rock, but it's catchy and gets me in the mood to drink a Bud. :D
