Nice! Too bad it's not for a craft beer - something worth swearing for!

Nice! Too bad it's not for a craft beer - something worth swearing for! No kiddin ... you wouldn't catch me drinking that schwill. However, Adolfo Busch did steal the recipe from a craft brewery in Europe. That would be Pilsner Urquell. By the time it was noticed Bud had plenty of money to settle that battle "out of court" They also stole their name from Budweiser Budvar, which is a small brewery in Czechloslovakia. Several lawsuits over the name have take n place over the last 100 years, but it isn't really much of a battle when you have the money that Mr. Busch has. Point of the story, Bud = sucks, commercial = funny. <cracks open a Dead Guy Ale> Cheers!

BTW ... I credit that knowledge to Mike at the Blue Tusk who one had "beer education courses" at the bar many years ago. He used to bring in vhs tapes and stuff. I never met anyone who knew more about beer. I heard from my Dad the the Blue Tusk is now a top rated beer bar in the world. Doesn't surprise me a bit
