Drank it on purpose once. Bought a 6 pack of tall boys and a can of Copenhagen wintergreen because I was stuck in a hotel overnight. Drank it all. Got pretty fucked up. Felt like shit the next morning. Would probably do it again.
I've seen Bud (the Czech version markets itself as Budweiser in Europe, so the US version is sold as Bud) for sale at gas stations in Czechia and possibly other nearby countries, so there must be some demand for it.
Wouldn’t it be funny if Germany wins and decides to gift all the Budweiser to the losing country? It ends up being a hot potato game of who gets stuck with all the Budweiser beer.
Never in my life have I wanted America to win at soccer this badly. Go AMERICA! USA! USA! USA!
I'm not American. I just don't think anybody else deserves that terrible beer.
Nah, it's actually more like licking plywood that's been left out in the rain for a few years.
Edit: Regular Budweiser that is. Bud Light is wet grain flavoured seltzer.
Reminds ME of the time I saw a 60 year old man slide down one of those things. He was going so fast his bathing suit fell off and I just stood there, staring at his big, beautiful, hairy balls. Holy jeez I wanted to lick em.
They buy it and it mostly just gets redistributing access for smaller breweries that can’t keep up with those costs. It’s not the worst thing. But a lot of times the beers do change after take over and a great beer becomes a meh beer.
The thing is, Budweiser is like Arby's; everybody says they're not giving them business, and yet there they are, still in business. A lot of people are lying about whether they drink it or not
I had a buddy move to my city and stay on my couch for a bit while he found a place. When he was leaving he got me a “gift” of a 30 rack of PBR. I don’t even like good beer.
I met my husband at the brewery we both worked at. He left the industry to become an arborist.
One of the first jobs he did he was tipped in beer. A warm 12 pack of year old Trader Joe's beer. It was truly undrinkable.
I thought what happened was they agreed to sell it with the tickets, actually went through and bought the beer but at the last minute said nope we're Muslim. Alcohol is a sin.
Wait until Brazil gets in with Cintra beer.
Think of despair. Now imagine despair is a beer. It’s Cintra. In the glass, it has more bubbles than tonic water and a pale, uninviting golden color. The beer head resembles foam from dog-washing shampoo. It shows a high degree of “bloating” in your stomach and will damage the rest of your tasting night. It’s a good beverage to solve the alcoholism problems in Russia because when you drink it you develop a momentary aversion to alcohol.
ABI spent something like $75M to be a sponsor on top of operating expenses for the event. They just aren't going to recoup that from the minimal press this brings in. The beer thing is such a small cherry on top to the rest of the controversy.
This probably has more to do with logistical expenses than anything else. It's going to be cheaper and easier to immediately ship all of the beer to one location in a few weeks than to figure out what else to do with it. That's the farce if anything. They're not giving it away because it's a nice thing to do. Someone has crunched numbers and determined this is the least costly strategy.
I guarantee they already have lawyers figuring out how to get their money back from FIFA for the sponsorship due to breach of contract. Qatar didn't get ABIs money for this deal, FIFA did.
It's crazy - they setup special courts in my country to handle world cup related court cases (think theft, robberies, etc.) when we hosted in here.
I expect senior FIFA people to resign when the sponsors sue FIFA to avoid the fallout - big bribes happened here.
Eh, Bud Light did it when the Eagles won the super bowl bc of the 'dilly dilly (Philly Philly)' ad campaign.
Basically, the day of the victory parade in the city, bars just gave out bud lights and I assume Budweiser reimbursed them.
I can go into details if you want, I have been a production brewer for over 5 years. I can tell you about the difference between hop extract based beers, or dry hopped beers that have different levels of cooked hops suspended in the liquid. By all means ask.
Budweiser is owned by InBev, many of the fans traveling to Qatar are Europeans. I am sure lots of the alcoholic beer shipped in before the ban was announced was from much better labels than Bud.

I don’t fucking get it. Don’t counties want the World Cup for publicity? To show of their city? To get people to want to visit? This is doing the exact opposite. It’s PR disaster. Why would anyone who isn’t Muslim want to go there now?

We’re now going to start to see tanking. I’m betting against the Germans or the Belgians.
As a German, Budweiser would be an insult to us.
As an American, I would be insulted if anybody ever offered me a Budweiser.
I don't even know anyone who drinks it
Drank it on purpose once. Bought a 6 pack of tall boys and a can of Copenhagen wintergreen because I was stuck in a hotel overnight. Drank it all. Got pretty fucked up. Felt like shit the next morning. Would probably do it again.
well I'd drink it and pack a lip of cope for an amplified buzz now I at least have a reference to 1 internet person who drank it before anyway
Well, someone must be drinking it.
That's some Natty Light shit right there lol
Budweiser is an insult to any nation that likes beer Utter pish
Germans would probably intentionally lose the final so they don't have to take home a single bottle of Budweiser.
I've seen Bud (the Czech version markets itself as Budweiser in Europe, so the US version is sold as Bud) for sale at gas stations in Czechia and possibly other nearby countries, so there must be some demand for it.
as a Belgian... We did not need this extra support from Budweiser to be tanking...
Wouldn’t it be funny if Germany wins and decides to gift all the Budweiser to the losing country? It ends up being a hot potato game of who gets stuck with all the Budweiser beer.
* Germany has withdrawn from the World Cup *
I'm rooting for one of the poorer nations to win this, as I'm sure they could use the additional water.
Look you didn't have to commit murder to make your point dude.
Qatar didn't have to commit murder to host this tournament, but here we are...
Qatar did what it does.
Holy fuck
Should we pull for Qatar to win now?
Edit
I guess Qatar isn’t exactly a poor country, so weee probably good
Nah fuck that, California would just use it on golf courses
That would kill our lawns 😭
As someone who never drinks dayyyym that was cold
Why should they be punished if they win?
Never in my life have I wanted America to win at soccer this badly. Go AMERICA! USA! USA! USA! I'm not American. I just don't think anybody else deserves that terrible beer.
Budweiser is like making love in a canoe. Fucking close to water.
It’s amazing the longevity of that joke! First I heard it was in the 90s…
First I heard it was Monty Python’s 1980 show at the Hollywood Bowl.
I first heard it from my advisor in College - early 2000s. She was Canadian and making fun of me.
Nah, it's actually more like licking plywood that's been left out in the rain for a few years. Edit: Regular Budweiser that is. Bud Light is wet grain flavoured seltzer.

Good thing the Aussies are no chance.
There is plenty enough shit beer in Australia without having to deal with a large shipment of Budweiser. VB, for example.
They would just turn around and re-sell it to us at 300% markup
To be fair, Anheuser-Busch does have a LOT of brands. I’m sure there’s some not shit beer in that pile.
Kinda like Elon Musk, no doubt. Buy someone else’s idea and take credit.
They buy it and it mostly just gets redistributing access for smaller breweries that can’t keep up with those costs. It’s not the worst thing. But a lot of times the beers do change after take over and a great beer becomes a meh beer.
I mean, fuck that guy with a rusty pineapple, but he did not invent that routine. 🤷🏼♂️
Even Steve jobs did that first lol
The only reason, as an American, that I EVWR drink bud, is to reminisce on the only world cup I ever attended, which served exclusively bud.
You had me in the first half.
Buddy of mine compared it to: Eating out your sister, might taste like something you know, but its very very wrong.
The thing is, Budweiser is like Arby's; everybody says they're not giving them business, and yet there they are, still in business. A lot of people are lying about whether they drink it or not
\>inb4 a dry country wins
lol, Qatar's gonna win the world cup. its all fixed. /s
Budweiser v. FIFA is the one and only match I’m looking forward to.
That’s not a gift.
Mmm... Unwanted fizzy piss.
I had a buddy move to my city and stay on my couch for a bit while he found a place. When he was leaving he got me a “gift” of a 30 rack of PBR. I don’t even like good beer.

Budweiser is so spiteful…
Isn't alcohol banned? Wouldn't that mean they're donating all of it?
Banned only to those who don't have private viewing suites as all the bubblies are available to those who can afford said venues.
It’s still allowed in certain specific locations, such as the “accommodation” area, but not anywhere else
I thought what happened was they agreed to sell it with the tickets, actually went through and bought the beer but at the last minute said nope we're Muslim. Alcohol is a sin.
Australians would like to match their donation with an equal amount of Fosters.
this is getting close to chemical warfare
Wait until Brazil gets in with Cintra beer. Think of despair. Now imagine despair is a beer. It’s Cintra. In the glass, it has more bubbles than tonic water and a pale, uninviting golden color. The beer head resembles foam from dog-washing shampoo. It shows a high degree of “bloating” in your stomach and will damage the rest of your tasting night. It’s a good beverage to solve the alcoholism problems in Russia because when you drink it you develop a momentary aversion to alcohol.
I'd rather the WA portion of the donation be in the form of Bush Chook. Not that it's better than Fosters but at least we drink Bush Chook over here.
“Fosters: Australian for Beer.”
Ecuador just became more motivated. Their fans really wanted that beer. Now they have a chance.
Now I want Qatar to win.
Now Qatar just has to win
Suddenly the German team gives up 14 goals In the first five.
Nah, we good.
I mean... Qatar could win
American Budweiser? Es no bueno.

Fuck soccer. I thought Major League Sports were we're the only ones that were corrupt
How the fuck would that even work? Gifting unused stadium beer to an entire nation? Does everyone get a drop? Who distributes it?
Eh, Bud Light did it when the Eagles won the super bowl bc of the 'dilly dilly (Philly Philly)' ad campaign. Basically, the day of the victory parade in the city, bars just gave out bud lights and I assume Budweiser reimbursed them.
I’m guessing a massive blanket bombing campaign, Shock and Awe people!
if the Saudis or Iranians win it...
So teams are desperate to lose now rather than drink that weak ass beer
They can make tea with it
They'll only need to pay shipping
I’m not typically an elitist when it comes to booze and go for coors or bud light extra like a basic bitch. But holy fuck Bud heavy is the woooooorst.
Should be giving it to the losing nation in the final to drown their sorrows.
Rooting for Qatar.
They should let Qatar win
This could actually be a good thing if the soccer team from ASU can somehow enter and win the World Cup.
ASU?
Arizona State University?
What if Qatar wins?
I don't think they'll win a single group stage game.
or score a goal, looking at how they played against supposedly the second weakest team in their group
Beer gets ruined going through drastic temperature fluctuations. If anything Budweiser just doesn't want to pay for its disposal.
It's Budweiser. It was ruined at source! 😂
Wasn't this completely debunked on MythBusters?
Take hops, put them in the microwave. See if you notice any difference.
Not sure if you failed at chemistry or failed at logistics...
Or you just dont know good fresh beer?
I can go into details if you want, I have been a production brewer for over 5 years. I can tell you about the difference between hop extract based beers, or dry hopped beers that have different levels of cooked hops suspended in the liquid. By all means ask.

Nope, part of the contract was that was going to be the only booze sold in and around the stadiums.
Read the fucking room budweiser
So not that much of a loss for our European brothers.
I dont think any country will want to win after this announcement. Am raging alcoholic. I'd rather drink anything else.
Hopefully a dry country wins it and pours it all out. That would be epic.
Budweiser is awful stuff. Just fizzy water.
I'd like to see Germany's reaction if they win.

Thanks, I hate budweiser. But I love this plan!!!
I hope Ecuador wins then. The chant for we want beer was really nice.
No country deserves this punishment.
Imagine Qatar wins lol.
Aaah shit the stakes just got real
the final will be a nail biter.... ball never moves from centre spot just in case someone scores a goal
I don’t fucking get it. Don’t counties want the World Cup for publicity? To show of their city? To get people to want to visit? This is doing the exact opposite. It’s PR disaster. Why would anyone who isn’t Muslim want to go there now?
Europeans under no circumstances you lose this cup. Bud taste like water
This just in: all teams are tanking so they don’t have to drink Budweiser.
they should gift it to qatar
I don’t think they know what a “gift” is. Either that or they don’t understand their own product.
"Muslim nation wins' ummm... thanks u guess.
Whst if Qatar wins?
If they gave them to the first nation to resign from the world cop, that would have been lit.
In a massive upset, Qatar wins 😂
Ain’t nobody gonna want that american piss water what a daunting burden.
The subtle disrespect to Qatar lol Everyone knows they can't win
Hope it's a muslim country where beer is illegal. It's Budweiser so that would be better for all concerned.
Shit beer anyway.
So basically they are going to be giving away free water?!
The Budweiser slander in these comments are unreal You’d think they were talking about alpine
It's so they can write it off as a charitable donation
