Wall Street Journal says that Bud is experiencing some competition from small “craft” brewers…which reveals a total misunderstanding. What’s going on is that american “lagers” are experiencing competition from a variety of beers that you can actuallly TASTE.

American beer was born after the great experiment in american sobriety- during a period when people didn’t really like the TASTE of beer.
