Question is who the heck is still buying $297M of that crap
That’s a lot of crappy beer.
Modelo is to Bud Light like Makers is to Skol plastic bottle brown water whiskey
It’s a decent pilsner
Brewed in Mexico started by Germans or Austrians
If it’s all you got you could do worse
The demographic shift is responsible for this too
I do notice the 24 pack is larger than the average Yaqui carrying it
Ok wardaddy what is your favorite Pilsner?
Urquell hands down Czech
Krombacher German
Stella Belgian Pilsner excellent beer but AB owned sadly
I only drink lager and Pilsner
And room temp bitters in England
Best American big brew Hamms yes I think so
I’m not a drinker but I love the grain mouth and nose burst
Lovely gums.
M9delo tastes better than Bud Lite.
Why is Bud Light even close to $300M??
shouldn’t even be in the neighborhood of $3M.

Exactly.
Buy craft beers. Get a better product while sticking it to the multinational corporations who constantly bully the small businesses.
What time is it? Its Modelo time. 😆
That was in 2013 … did A/B buy them back in another merger?
“Blue Moon Belgian White is a Belgian-style witbier brewed by Molson Coors under the name the Blue Moon Brewing Co.” from Wikipedia
I dropped Sam Adams when they began sponsoring homo “pride” parades.
Try Yuengling.
Isn’t that also an InBev brand?
OOPS...answered in #29 by Yo-Yo.
Does someone have that list of beers produced by BUD?
It would be a good refresher for me so I do not make a mistake and accidentally buy one of the BUD brands.
Thanks for posting the BUD list of all their beers.
Not as far as I know. This is only for the U.S. market. AB InBev still owns Modelo in the rest of the world.
“As the first woman to lead the biggest beer brand in the world, it’s an amazing opportunity to really evolve and elevate Bud Light, this brand I love,” says Heinerscheid... “As the number one beer in the industry, it’s incumbent upon us to act like a leader and set the standard,” she says. “We’re excited to see what 2023 brings.”
Well...it has been exciting...
