At least one ROFFIAN is well known for his love of Budweiser beer, so I
thought this might be interesting. I have been following the World Cup
Soccer tournament for the past couple of weeks. It is being held in
Germany, a country noted for its excellent brewing tradition. However,
Budweiser is the official beer of the tournament, and this struck me as
kind of funny. I was wondering what the German people thought of this,
and, well, here is the answer.

I hate the hyperbole. Bud advertises strongly with soccer, not just the
World Cup. But one reason I like Bud is because it's closer in style to the
German or Canadian beers than to all the ales which are all the rage. So
what if Bud isn't as good as the best German beers? It's better than most
inexpensive American beers, so why bother calling it the worst in the world?
Silly.
