Budweiser Rebrands Itself ‘America’ (Temporarily)

Budweiser, the beer brand owned by a Belgian company, will soon appear on shelves with a new name: America.

Pointing to a slew of summer events set to bring out feelings of nationalism, Budweiser said Tuesday that it would replace the word “Budweiser” with “America” on its cans, bottles and packaging from May 23 through the general elections in November.

It will be “probably the most American summer of our generation,” said Ricardo Marques, a Budweiser vice president.

Along with the traditional spring and summer holidays — Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day, this summer will bring the Summer Olympics and the Copa América soccer tournament, to be held in June in sites throughout the United States.

    Doesn't help - it is still owned by a foreign company!

    That's what Dru Bragg was drinking the night he was arrested for DUI.

    551 the company was bought out years ago. I'll start buying this year now that they recognize our country.

    Smells of desperation to me. Bud was a mega brewer of so-so suds, popular for a long stretch. Let their financials slip and got taken over by a European beer conglomerate InBev.

    Bud purchased Rolling Rock before it was taken over by InBev. Moved RR production from historic creek in western Pennsylvania to the Passaic River in NJ. Think mobsters floating by Newark, NJ instead of mountain stream.

    All glitz and marketing razzle-dazzle.

    We stopped drinking rolling rock many years ago once we found out the brewery was downstream from the sewer plant.
