LAWSUITS ACCUSE ANHEUSER-BUSCH OF WATERING DOWN THEIR BEER
Class-action lawsuits have been filed in several states accusing Anheuser-Busch of watering down its beer -- including Budweiser and Michelob. The lawsuits, which are based on information from former employees at Anheuser-Busch's 13 U.S. breweries, say that the beer brands' alcohol content is lower than what's listed on the label because excess water is added just before bottling, which cuts the stated alcohol content by three percent to eight percent, as a cost-cutting move.
That's frickindiculous, says Wally the Beertender:
The 10 beers involved in the lawsuits are: Budweiser; Bud Ice; Bud Light Platinum; Michelob; Michelob Ultra; Hurricane High Gravity Lager; King Cobra Busch Ice; Natural Ice; and Bud Light Lime.
