Budweiser in Brazilian/Belgian hands

Maybe they can replace it with the original Budvar - which is about a billion times nicer.

Although Budweiser is ok if you like fizzy water that gets you drunk.

Well said. We should all bow down to our Czech overlords.

Although,

50 cents a can

is tempting. Then again, I learned my lesson about cheap beer when I decided to try Kwiksave economy brand lager. With beer, you very much get what you pay for.

Bah. Cheap beer equals bad beer. There's no way around that. The more you pay for your booze, the better it tastes(in general).

Budweiser, Heineken and such beers are cheap beers. Therefore they taste bad. Who owns them won't affect that fact.

Heineken isn't cheap, it's in the middle-segment.

Bah. It's in the cheaposection(also called grocery stores). It's around 20 NOK or something for 0,5l here, that's cheap beer. The good stuff starts around 40 and up.

It's a pils and priced like the other pilsner's slightly more expensive then most. And it isn't even bad, better then most brands (unless you also have the export version that is nasty)

Yeah, we have the watered down export version but still, brand beers suck. To get the really good tasting ones, you need to get your hands on some independent breweries. Okay, you won't buy them to drink a sixpack or two to get drunk unless you're made of money(or too little to spend it on I guess), but if you want a good beer, you can't buy the brand stuff.
