Becks is now a domestic US beer!

Buddahaid · 02-16-12, 09:08 PM

Just found out when I thought I was sold an old case that Becks is now brewed in St. Louis by Bud.

Heresy!

I'm sure they're keeping the brewing standards to the highest quali--Doh!

Having been stationed in Germany for 4 years I must say that if one wants to truly enjoy a German beer you have to be in Germany and drink it fresh nothing comes close to that not even the imported bottles nothing beats a fresh from the brewery German beer.Although Those in the above picture are pretty good I like a good Hopf Helle Weisse if I am drinking an imported German.Of course I am not one of those guys that sits there trying to name the aroma and what not like these guys: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/hopf-he...riginal/12974/ I really like the 2nd guy, "Pours hazy light yellow with a massive head." yep.

On a side not....Newcastle Brown Ale (sold the world over) isn't even brewed in Newcastle any more

Is Budweiser still the Microsoft of beer? I know they make sure they have better shelf placement than other brands. They would even go after the small craft beer market.

LOL Nevermind

Nice pic GR - known throughout the British Forces as Wobbly. I've partaken one or two bottles* myself and it beats Becks and Bud (what doesn't?).

*Maybe replace bottles for crates, and add a zero onto the end of the figures...

You can have it, it is one of the most terrible beers I know. I am tempted to serve it in test tubes, that chemical it tastes, imo. Veltins or Warsteiner for me, please.

"Domestic" is a relative term, since Bud is now owned by a Belgian conglomerate.

Only for the US market. The main Becks brewery is still in Bremen (the company I work for is transporting malt for them).
