    Don't worry. Bud will still be cheap, crappy beer.

        I don't drink beer, but I know that rice has no place in a proper beer. The only thing the Belgians can screw up is Busch Gardens.

          Actually if you have a strain of barley (such as six row) that is high in protein it can be useful to put in a bit of rice or corn to keep your beer from having too much protein in it.

          Apparently pre-prohibition American beer was mostly lager with about 6-6.5% alcohol with a bit of corn or rice and plenty of hops to get plenty of bitterness and enough flavor.

          That said, Bud still sucks

              I dunno, they screwed up the Congo pretty bad.

                lol, St. Louis. Those ****ers there deserve it after what they did to Chicago in 1904.

                  While true, I don't think Congo would have been any less of a mess if they hadn't gone in.

                    AFAIK Anheuser-Busch doesn't own the Congo, so it's a moot point.

                      Kind of bitter, following the divorce, aren't you?

                        It's just a temporary separation.

                        But it's true. St. Louis is nothing more than a bunch of lame ****head pig****ers in a city that deserves to be erased like Flint, Detroit, or Pittsburgh, thanks to their dishonorable thievery of 1904.

                              **** you, Wiglaf.

                              ImBev buying Anheuser-Busch is one of the best things to ever happen to that ****hole St. Louis. Let's hope ImBev does what it always does, and downsizes a lot of those ****ers off.
