Well duh, they sold out to the Dutch, and AMERICANS don’t appreciate that.
And the beer is crap. Young people don’t appreciate bad beer
The last guy I knew that drank Bud was a retired knee-deep sailor. Said he drank it because that was the one beer you could find anywhere in the world. But he passed five years ago; kinda thought AB would have noticed the decline in sales very shortly after his passing.
Apart from selling out to foreign investors, could it be the 97 different flavors, styles, and nuances of beer they now sell?
Just sayin’
Budweiser, Michelob, each in a full flavor and a lite. Worked for years.

I blame Prohibition for the crappy taste of American mass produced beers. Prohibition wiped out the small local and regional brewers and only the large producers survived. When Prohibition ended the large brewers produced a lager style beer that could be brewed cheaply and in large quantities. Americans were happy just to have beer again and readily drank this swill. Mass marketing, the absence of affordable good beer alternatives and the beer industry becoming a concentrated oligopoly through mergers assured that American beers would remain watery and tasteless. The emergence and regional marketing of craft beers has changed the beer market and particularly younger consumers are now choosing craft beers over the mass produced product. I see the beer industry has evolved into two markets: The concentrated oligopoly of Anheiser InBev/SA Miller/Coors Molson and the monopolist competition market for craft beers.
Hmmmm, I quit drinking last quarter! /kidding
Bud Lite. Cheap junk that isn’t cheap. I’d drink even Busch before Bud, and prefer Guinness or Bells.
