My office is right next to a massive Budweiser brewery.
It smells like scrambled eggs.

Isn't Hoegaarden made/owned by AB?
-edit-
Yeah AB owns them. Makes sense since the brand is in every WalMart in the country.

The beer will still taste like bland piss though.
The price doesn't have to drop, they just sell less ounces.
Budweiser raised their prices recently, actually.

A friend introduced me to this beer about a month ago. I usually stick to IPAs but found this to be fantastic!
Ever notice that beer is the only consumer packaged food/beverage item that doesn't have to list ingredients?
It's because no one wants you to know what you're drinking from macrobrews. We're talking about a product that costs around $1/gal to produce and ship... seeing what's in there would be like finding out your favorite stroganoff was made with cat food.
[insert Findus Lasagna joke here]
But at least my bowtie can will tell me when it's cold enough!

It's owned by the fucking mafia aka inbev, who ironically also owns bud.. but that doesn't mean much
Well it means something if you're trying to avoid supporting macrobrews. For some reason it shocked my dad to learn Landshark beer was made by AB. He thought it was a microbrew lol. I assume most people don't really know just how many brands AB owns that they think are grocery store sold microbrews.

This is what I'm not seeing. It actually looks harder to grip to me seeing as how my thumb and index finger would now have to ideally rest halfway down the can.

Why did it take this long? I can't tell you the number of times I've wished for a more grippable can. Wait, yes I can. Zero. Zero times.
It takes a lot of time, research and money to spin a hidden price increase like this, man.

There's the kind of cynicism I've come to enjoy here at GAF; the kind of person that sees right through today's chicken salad sandwich lunch special for what it really is: yesterday's unserved leftovers.

Lol, i didnt even know it was so wide spread it the us.. i thought it was only fairly popular here in belgium and surrounding country's.. They also own my favourite casual beer for after work/ evenings
It tastes better from a can.

Is it still pisswater? Honestly, the only alcohol I like from "macrobrewers" is Guinness and Magners.
I can't attest to the sales numbers but yeah you can pick up a 6 pack in pretty much every grocery store I've been to in the past 5 years. I'm not a big fan of wheat beer so I don't really care for it but as far as wheat beers go I like it more than Blue Moon.
I hope you mean all of Guinness' offerings and not that piss draught. Smithwick's is easily the best of their bunch.

And suddenly all American 14 year olds switch to Budweiser cans for their homemade weed smoking devices.

Use beer cans for bongs, buys a beer bong.

"Yeah boss, the engineers say we'll need another, uh, 6 months of development time. So yeeeeeah, can you increase our funding? We also need equipment upgrades. Which ones? Err...all of them. Everything at the plant too. Yeah, I'm sure we'll need another 10 months for that."

So their beer cans have anorexia? They think this will generate sales?
