Anheuser Busch being sued

There is a class action suit going on against Anheuser Busch for watering down its beer. They claim that the alcohol content is 4.7% when the label states 5%. I love the comments on the CNN link

Especially one that , in part, states this

"No one should be suing Budweiser for a lower alcohol content, people should be suing Budweiser for calling itself beer."

Well MrB ... the Clydesdales have had urinary tract infections recently so not only has the supply stream diminished (hence diluting the product), but there's also this "off flavor" from all the antibiotics !!

Please give em a break !!! NOT !!

"No one should be suing Budweiser for a lower alcohol content, people should be suing Budweiser for calling itself beer."

I was gonna say "how" can they tell they watered down that pisss swill

I have not drank a Bud in decades, that stuff is rot gut.

Dont know much about what is the alcohol content is suspose to be but around here 3.2 is what you get

Yeah I always thought Bud was in the 3.5 range - but the article said 5.0 and then measured out as 4.7 . SO I not sure which Anheuser Busch product (Micalobe) ? maybe a higher end product but certainly don't sound like a Bud or Bud light ?

I just checked a high end local micro brew is 4.4 , cost 10 bucks for a six pack.

Budweiser and Michelob are advertised at 5. They have some that are 5.5 or more, up to 6.6.

Kinda reminds me of other things that are advertised and dont quite measure up....miles per gallon listed on new car stickers,
horse power ratings, shaving cream that was 11oz, now 10 oz
in the same can as the 11 oz can

Remember when one could buy coffee in a three pound can. What is it now, 34 ounces?

Of course I buy mine in one pound bags

Thanks,

I don't drink beer to get drunk I drink beer for the ice

The high end micro-brews/craft brews that I drink are generally 6.0 to 10% ABV (Alcohol by volume). 4.4% is rather weak.

Hummm , yeah I guess they are weak . Going to look at the other local micro brands tomorrow. If they are all sorta 4.4 , thats like price fixing ? ?

I'm with you - I love Victory Golden Monkey- >9.0% but very smooth !!
Next October I'm going to the National Beer Festival in Denver with my son (the Chef)...
They have >2000 brews / micro brews ! Hope to find some new gems !!

Bud, Coors, Old Milwaukee, etc have booths out in the animal barn
