You obviously don't know anything about St. Louis if you are making such comments. Sure, the inner city has it's issues, just like every big city, but St. Louis is a terrific town. Great people and lots of great stuff to do and places to go. If you ever lived there, you would never make such remarks.
Oh, by the way, the A-B hasn't owned the Cardinals since 1996 so I don't believe they forced anyone to "cough up" funds for the new stadium. The city takes great pride in being the home of Budweiser, the brewery has provided thousands of jobs for many decades and the company has poured over $370 million into charitable contributions over the past 10 years.
Next time, do your homework.
There sure are a lot of beer snobs in this thread.
You make it sound like they went out of business.

knows petras secret: she farted.
well, personally, i love beer. i like its taste, im really into imports, the history and methods behind it, etc. after tasting so many great beers out there, anheuser-busch turned out to be just a safe, tasteless brew to satisfy the non-picky. u might notice all of your big time american breweries all produce a beer thats very similar to each other, thank god for the micro brewers in the last few years who finally went out on a limb and tried something different.

Yeah, I find it quite amusing that afficianados of "real beer" (i.e. the heavy, hoppy stuff you get over in Europe) seem obsessed with running down the lighter beers from the US, Canada and Mexico. It's all a matter of taste as far as I am concerned. I don't care for the heaver beers at all but it certainly doesn't bother me in the slightest that there are many people who do.
I love Budweiser and drink it frequently. Way too frequently according to my wife.
To a lot of people (particularly in Europe, especially Germany) do not really consider Bud to be a genuine beer at all.Beer is a drink made from malt and A-B have replaced 40% of this with rice which has no purpose other than to dilute the flavour and colour.
Europe and the US produce an enormous spectrum of beer-they aren't all heavy by any means,some are nearly as characterless as American mainstream products.But some are truly awesome.

I think you just proved Dean Wormer's statement about beer snobs.
If the cap fits, I suppose.
But an analogy is to go to a baker's and see all that lovely fresh baked stuff, wonderful crusty, seeded, multigrain and so on which people ignore and go straight for the wappy wrapped sliced white loaves.I must be a bread snob too

Yeah, I'd say you are then. What difference should it make to anyone if somebody happens to like white bread? If nobody liked it, they wouldn't make it. Why it would bother someone in the first place is what I don't understand. Thanks God for different tastes. What a dull world it would be if we all liked the same thing.
I don't know why it bothers me except I don't like to see people missing out.To me eating and drinking should be memorable and enjoyable activities.I know there are people who regard food as simply fuel and beer as a way of getting drunk but that's not my way.
Back to beer, the reason many people drink what they do is largely down to massive and unrelenting advertising.I had a friend in the food industry some time ago who said "Make it cheap,make it bland and then tell people how smart they are to buy it!"

See, that's the problem. If I happen to have tried heavy, hoppy European beers (or grainy, textured wheat bread for that matter) and don't like them, what am I missing out on? Taste, like beauty, is all in the eye of the beholder. Don't let it bother you. Delight in the things in life that you enjoy and respect and accept the likes and dislikes of others....even if they don't coincide with yours.
Bud sucks, give me a Guinnes, Bohemia or a Pyramind Hefeweizen followed by a Makers Mark shot any day.
