"...giving it more time to reabsorb and process green beer flavors, such as acetaldehyde and diacetyl, that Anheuser-Busch believes are off-flavors which detract from overall drinkability..."
It is not debated that those chemicals are off flavors at all. There are no styles where acetaldehyde (green apple) flavor is acceptable, and only a handful of beer styles where diacetyl is acceptable (always in very small amounts). You could consult the Beer Judge Certification program style guide (www.bjcp.org) as a source for desired flavors in beer.
I only say all this because I think the clause"anheuser-busch believes..." should be removed since it implies that only AB considers them flaws and they are otherwise not generally considered flaws. Seems almost biased against AB. You could completely remove that clause and still keep the entire meaning of the rest of the statement. 76.100.114.214 ( talk) 01:35, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

I remember a few years ago is 80% rice , why 30% now ? Anheuser Busch was one of them. They survived by converting to cereal beer made from non-fermentable grains like rice. Anheuser still makes its Budweiser from 80% rice, unlike the traditional all-malted barley beer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.111.235.43 ( talk) 07:17, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
You really need a citation for that. Any beer with 80% rice would be virtually unfermentable. Rice has almost no sugar so it would be next to impossible to make a ~4% abv beer with 80% adjunct 76.100.114.214 ( talk) 01:29, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
The makers of sake and other rice wines would disagree that rice is unfermentable. Rice and corn used in the production of beer, and all other alcohol production, are reduced to their starch components and combined with enzymes to produce sugars. That sugar is then fermented with the rest of the mash and yeast. MaximZero ( talk) 15:08, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
Ok Rice 101. Non-malted adjuncts such as rice or maize are used in many International lagers outside of Germany, and particularly in American mainstream beers. Miller uses maize. Malted barley contains enzymes called Amylase (Alpha and Beta) that are released on mashing in hot water at the brewery and convert the starches in the malt to fermentable sugars. Most malts have enough spare Amylases to also convert extra starches to sugars. The adjuncts are boiled to a mush - called cooker mash - and added to the main malted barley mash where they, being mostly starch, are converted by the spare enzymes into fermentables. This started in the USA well over a hundred years ago to dilute the proteins found in malts from the six-row barley traditional in American Brewing. These extra proteins were producing unwelcome hazes in the finished beer, at a time when glassware became generally affordable, and although modern malts overcome this problem, the use of cereal adjuncts has continued, this being part of the expected flavour and body of the brews. Around 30% adjucts would be fairly normal, according to the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica 50% or more could be used in the USA back then. 80% just wouldn't work, so as posted above a citation would be welcome. The article seems to be a bit confusing as it could be read that the use of adjuncts began during Prohibition, not so. -- MichaelGG ( talk) 06:24, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
Why is Budweiser italicized throughout the article? Yes, it is a foreign word, but we don't italicize other brand names. Hot Stop talk- contribs 15:17, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
This comment, located under the "Beer" section, cites this article, but the article does not cite any credible source (it actually has no citation.) The article, from Salon.com, says, "Adolphus Busch, the dynasty’s founder, called his beer “dot schlop” and drank wine instead.", but I cannot find any information beyond this (except for internet hearsay.) Unless this is a credible claim, and someone has a more credible source, I think that comment should be taken out because it adds little to the article and cannot be verified.

The current article goes into some depth about the Budweiser bottle, but almost entirely ignores other types of packaging. I was planning on adding information specifically related to Budweiser can packaging. Much of this information will be tailored to look at the latest can design change that occurred in 2011, as well as the reasons and possible consequences of the change. Also, I plan on adding a chart, similar to that under the "Bottle" section, for the can. Zlaval ( talk) 00:30, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
After numerous deaths in football stadiums, Brazil passed a law in 2003 outlawing alcohol sales in stadiums. FIFA demanded that Brazil allow alcohol sales at the World Cup because Budweiser is a major World Cup sponsor and so it can make Budweiser the "Official Beer of the FIFA World Cup", a role it has played since 1986. In response, Brazil passed a law paving the way for alcohol sales in the World Cup, nicknamed the "Budweiser Bill". [1] [2]

This discussion was listed at Wikipedia:Move review on 9 September 2014. The result of the move review was Closure endorsed.. |
The result of the move request was: Move. This is a difficult close, but I find a rough consensus to move this article to
Budweiser. Effectively, three options have been considered: 1) the proposed move (7 in favor), 2) an alternative option moving/restoring the concept dab (now located
here) to
Budweiser (5 in favor), and 3) leaving the dab page at "Budweiser" (43 in favor). As such, a majority of all participants favored a change over the status quo, and the proposed move was the best supported of the two changes (I do note that a few participants favoring one change specifically opposed the other). I kept the 4 remaining oppose votes in mind, but gave less consideration to those that did not specifically contend with English use. A no consensus close would leave us in a situation comparatively few participants preferred; I find rough consensus in favor of the best supported individual option.

– By hit count or by links, the American beer is far and away the primary topic for the English-speaking world. Relisted. Jenks24 ( talk) 13:20, 4 August 2014 (UTC) p b p 13:23, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
How can be a result of the request move, if no consensus was found? I absolutely agree with IJA and others that both are big selling beers, this move would be making Wikipedia take sides in the " Budweiser trademark dispute" and Wikipedia should always remain neutral. Is it legitimate that if others strongly oppose to perform such a move? Jirka.h23 ( talk) 05:59, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
The move review is closed as endorsing the current title. The closing administrator advises us never again using a RM for content disputes. If the dispute is complex, the administrator recommended RFC. Thoughts? -- George Ho ( talk) 09:20, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
Seems like rather clear violations of Wikipedia's neutrality rules when referenced content is removed about one of Budweiser's sponsors, when a Budweiser venue hosts embattled comedian Bill Cosby -- but lists numerous sponsorships of race car drivers, Clydesdale horses, ad nauseum -- why not include Cosby when it includes all the other sponsorships? Not only that but EVEN talk page commentary is removed -- seems like this page is run by public relations people touting Budweiser and Anheuser-Busch.-- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 11:17, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
Response to third opinion request: |
I've tried hard to see both sides of the argument here, but this really does seem like a WP:COATRACK. The link between Budweiser and Budweiser Gardens is tenuous at best: the venue is owned by Larimer County and managed by Global Spectrum. I can’t even find any evidence that Budweiser has anything to do with the running of the venue at all. It seems that all they do is pay a fee to have their name over the door. There is no evidence they have any control over which acts appear at the venue. There doesn’t seem to be any evidence that Budweiser even knew that Cosby would be appearing at the venue or that they could do anything to stop him appearing even if they did know. There’s certainly no evidence that Budweiser approved the act. The connection between the venue and Budweiser is so tenuous that the venue isn’t even mentioned in this article. As far as I can tell all we have is that Budweiser paid to have their name put over the door of a venue, and a celebrity who has been accused of a crime appeared at that venue several years later? Is that an accurate summary of what can be establised with reliable soucres? Unless we can show that Budweiser was aware that Cosby was appearing at the venue and had some sort of control of the venue that might have enabled them to prevent that, then there is simply no connection between Budweiser and Cosby. At this stage there is no evidence that anybody working for Budweiser even knows who Bill Cosby is. In summary, my opinion is that this material doesn’t belong here until we get some reliable sources to indicate that someone at Budweiser was aware that Cosby was appearing and approved that appearance. FWIW, I also do not work for Budweiser. I have never even drunk Budweiser. Having lived most of my life in a different hemisphere (both ways) I don’t think I have ever even seen a Budweiser.

Why is Wikipedia taking a side in a trade dispute? Why is Wikipedia promoting a trademark and what is more a disputed trademark? Has Anheuser-Busch made a big contribution to Wikipedia? Has Anheuser-Busch been threatening Wikipedia? Has Wikipedia moved into advertising? What is happening here.
Budweiser as a definition should go directly describing a person or something coming from Budweis. In a second step it should mention the products or trademarks using Budweiser and than it should not prioritize one product over the other. Jochum ( talk) 13:45, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
This is a very strange article, especially as there is a separate article regarding the Anheuser-Busch company, this article should concentrate on the Budweiser brand and leave the history of Anheuser-Busch to the that named article. Jochum ( talk) 15:42, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
Per wp:fork, I deleted the section called 'history' because it was a history of Anheuser Busch, not of (US) Budweiser. If somebody is keen, it is worth transcribing into the AB-Inbev article, respecting the authorship of previous editors (I've forgotten the mechanism).-- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 20:39, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
I closed the last RM two years ago, based on my reading of the consensus. The decision was challenged at move review, and the decision was endorsed. If there's another move it needs to be through another consensus, and it doesn't strike me as likely. I imagine the time and effort will be better spent improving the articles than moving them around again.-- Cúchullain t/ c 14:20, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
Wikipedia does have some articles that cover only one specific (very popular) beer. e.g. Pilsner Urquell. But much more often, the article is about a brewing company with coverage of individual beers within that brand. See Castle Brewery and Miller Brewing Company, for example. Frankly, that does seem to be the best bet.
i.e. Make this Bud article into a section of the Anheuser-Busch InBev article that I have done a lot of updating on.
Frankly, the current content is probably too long, and will then need some condensing. For example, this is the total coverage of Michelob.
Michelob is a 5% ABV pale lager developed by Adolphus Busch in 1896 as a "draught beer for connoisseurs".[13] In 1961, Anheuser-Busch produced a pasteurized version of Michelob which allowed legal shipment of the beer across state lines. Bottled beer began to be shipped soon after, and the brand was introduced in cans in 1966. Bottled Michelob was originally sold in a uniquely shaped bottle named the teardrop bottle because it resembled a water droplet. The teardrop bottle was awarded a medal from the Institute of Design in 1962. Five years later the bottle was redesigned for efficiency in the production line. This bottle was used until 2002 when it was dropped in favor of a traditional bottle. The teardrop bottle was used again from January 2007 to October 2008.
Would Bud deserve more space than that?? Peter K Burian ( talk) 23:22, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
I am posting this here because nobody will see it on the talk page of the logo. The logo is just text with a simple crown graphic and probably should be available as simple public domain text file under Template:PD-logo. A good example of "not meeting threshold of creativity" is File:Best_Western_logo.svg, which oddly enough also involves a crown.- Ich ( talk) 20:34, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
See the discussion in Is this article about the Budweiser brand or Anheuser and Busch?. While it is not a majority opinion, we may have a consensus that this article should not stand on its own. It discusses one of the many brands of the Anheuser-Busch InBev company. Hence, it should be one of the brands discussed in that article.
Unless several users disagree, I will merge the Budweiser content into the Anheuser-Busch article. Before doing so, Budweiser will need condensed since it's much too long. No beer company article on Wikipedia devotes that much space to any single brand.
WP:CON :Consensus refers to the primary way decisions are made on Wikipedia, and it is accepted as the best method to achieve our goals, i.e. to achieve our five pillars. Consensus on Wikipedia does not mean unanimity (which, although an ideal result, is not always achievable); nor is it the result of a vote. Decision-making involves an effort to incorporate all editors' legitimate concerns, while respecting Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
Peter K Burian ( talk) 15:47, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
Support. I support this proposal. The article as it stands has frequently fallen into wp:FORK as people [quite reasonably] want to include the history of the American brewers. This change will resolve that issue and I can't think of any new issues it will generate. -- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 18:32, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
Oppose. The American Budweiser beer, however you feel about how it tastes, deserves a standalone article, just like Miller Lite and Coors Light do. I support either sourcing or removing any unsourced statements and merging any content not specifically related to the Budweiser brand onto the AB page.- Ich ( talk) 20:47, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
Oppose per Ich. Subject is far too notable to be merged into a parent article. If info overlaps, that's a content issue that should be fixed on the respective articles. Lizard ( talk) 23:39, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
Comment I just did a lot of cleanup. Much of the text was unencyclopedic or discussing non-notable ad campaigns. I also don't believe a 1-year sponsorship contract of NASCAR drivers in the 80s merits mention; I left the longer contracts and some of the events they had previously paid the naming rights for (although this list can be shortened, too). I added refs, too. I would welcome feedback, but I think this covers many of the objections the nominator had. I could still remove about a paragraph worth of text but don't want to go overboard.- Ich ( talk) 00:10, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
The article is not neutral, Historically "Budweiser" comes from the town of České Budějovice, the name "Budweiser" should not be used solely as disambiguation for the Anheuser–Busch brewed Beer! The title should be moved from Budweiser -> Budweiser (Anheuser–Busch) , the current title has a bias towards US American readers.
The argument that "Budweiser" stands for (Anheuser–Busch) in the English speaking world is true! Counter: Firstly - this is an encyclopaedia not a tabloid. Secondly - the internationality that English has acquired demands a title not based on colloquialism or one specific countries' traditions but neutral and descriptive facts. The current title does not fulfil these criteria and is to some extend misleading. Requests for comment! Bengt Hennig ( talk) 23:17, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Budweiser → Budweiser (AB InBev) – This is a discussion per WP:BRD, and the proposed move does not precisely duplicate any previously proposed move. The name "Budweiser" is the subject of the Budweiser trademark dispute, a long-running series of international legal disputes concerning the ownership and use of the Budweiser name. In some juristictions AB InBev has sole control of the name, and in some others Budweiser Budvar has sole control. The current title of this article is a violation of WP:NPOVTITLE in that it gives apparent support to one of the parties in this dispute. Tammbeck talk 11:11, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
I have seen that the majority prefers keeping the name Budweiser for this article because of WP:COMMONNAME, but it still can create some confussion. What about renaming this article Budweiser (AB InBev), but keeping the redirect Budweiser for this article. By keeping the redirect for this article Budweiser we respect [WP:COMMONNAME]], but by adding "(AB InBev)" to the name of the article, we increase the precision. SFBB ( talk) 21:38, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
The section labelled 'Beer' states, "Budweiser is produced using barley malt, rice, water, hops and yeast" Labelling requirements in the EU are very strict and require that the ingredients are accurate and listed in order of quantity. The Budweiser label states that the ingredients are water, rice, corn syrup, barley, malt extract, hop extract and yeast. There are two serious differences. First there is the addition of corn syrup and second, according to the label, Budweiser contains neither malt nor hops. OrewaTel ( talk) 10:20, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
There is a total of 28 sources in that section now, which I think is enough sources. Grapefanatic ( talk) 16:45, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

A no consensus close would leave us in a situation comparatively few participants preferred; I find rough consensus in favor of the best supported individual option.

– By hit count or by links, the American beer is far and away the primary topic for the English-speaking world. Relisted. Jenks24 ( talk) 13:20, 4 August 2014 (UTC) p b p 13:23, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
How can be a result of the request move, if no consensus was found? I absolutely agree with IJA and others that both are big selling beers, this move would be making Wikipedia take sides in the " Budweiser trademark dispute" and Wikipedia should always remain neutral. Is it legitimate that if others strongly oppose to perform such a move? Jirka.h23 ( talk) 05:59, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
The move review is closed as endorsing the current title. The closing administrator advises us never again using a RM for content disputes. If the dispute is complex, the administrator recommended RFC. Thoughts? -- George Ho ( talk) 09:20, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
Seems like rather clear violations of Wikipedia's neutrality rules when referenced content is removed about one of Budweiser's sponsors, when a Budweiser venue hosts embattled comedian Bill Cosby -- but lists numerous sponsorships of race car drivers, Clydesdale horses, ad nauseum -- why not include Cosby when it includes all the other sponsorships? Not only that but EVEN talk page commentary is removed -- seems like this page is run by public relations people touting Budweiser and Anheuser-Busch.-- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 11:17, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
Response to third opinion request: |
I've tried hard to see both sides of the argument here, but this really does seem like a WP:COATRACK. The link between Budweiser and Budweiser Gardens is tenuous at best: the venue is owned by Larimer County and managed by Global Spectrum. I can’t even find any evidence that Budweiser has anything to do with the running of the venue at all. It seems that all they do is pay a fee to have their name over the door. There is no evidence they have any control over which acts appear at the venue. There doesn’t seem to be any evidence that Budweiser even knew that Cosby would be appearing at the venue or that they could do anything to stop him appearing even if they did know. There’s certainly no evidence that Budweiser approved the act. The connection between the venue and Budweiser is so tenuous that the venue isn’t even mentioned in this article. As far as I can tell all we have is that Budweiser paid to have their name put over the door of a venue, and a celebrity who has been accused of a crime appeared at that venue several years later? Is that an accurate summary of what can be establised with reliable soucres? Unless we can show that Budweiser was aware that Cosby was appearing at the venue and had some sort of control of the venue that might have enabled them to prevent that, then there is simply no connection between Budweiser and Cosby. At this stage there is no evidence that anybody working for Budweiser even knows who Bill Cosby is. In summary, my opinion is that this material doesn’t belong here until we get some reliable sources to indicate that someone at Budweiser was aware that Cosby was appearing and approved that appearance. FWIW, I also do not work for Budweiser. I have never even drunk Budweiser. Having lived most of my life in a different hemisphere (both ways) I don’t think I have ever even seen a Budweiser.

It seems like this conversation has gone a bit stale. I'm planning on removing the tag soon since only one person has voiced their concern with the section. -- Onorem ( talk) 01:46, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Why is Wikipedia taking a side in a trade dispute? Why is Wikipedia promoting a trademark and what is more a disputed trademark? Has Anheuser-Busch made a big contribution to Wikipedia? Has Anheuser-Busch been threatening Wikipedia? Has Wikipedia moved into advertising? What is happening here.
Budweiser as a definition should go directly describing a person or something coming from Budweis. In a second step it should mention the products or trademarks using Budweiser and than it should not prioritize one product over the other. Jochum ( talk) 13:45, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
This is a very strange article, especially as there is a separate article regarding the Anheuser-Busch company, this article should concentrate on the Budweiser brand and leave the history of Anheuser-Busch to the that named article. Jochum ( talk) 15:42, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
Per wp:fork, I deleted the section called 'history' because it was a history of Anheuser Busch, not of (US) Budweiser. If somebody is keen, it is worth transcribing into the AB-Inbev article, respecting the authorship of previous editors (I've forgotten the mechanism).-- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 20:39, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
I closed the last RM two years ago, based on my reading of the consensus. The decision was challenged at move review, and the decision was endorsed. If there's another move it needs to be through another consensus, and it doesn't strike me as likely. I imagine the time and effort will be better spent improving the articles than moving them around again.-- Cúchullain t/ c 14:20, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
Wikipedia does have some articles that cover only one specific (very popular) beer. e.g. Pilsner Urquell. But much more often, the article is about a brewing company with coverage of individual beers within that brand. See Castle Brewery and Miller Brewing Company, for example. Frankly, that does seem to be the best bet.
i.e. Make this Bud article into a section of the Anheuser-Busch InBev article that I have done a lot of updating on.
Frankly, the current content is probably too long, and will then need some condensing. For example, this is the total coverage of Michelob.
Michelob is a 5% ABV pale lager developed by Adolphus Busch in 1896 as a "draught beer for connoisseurs".[13] In 1961, Anheuser-Busch produced a pasteurized version of Michelob which allowed legal shipment of the beer across state lines. Bottled beer began to be shipped soon after, and the brand was introduced in cans in 1966. Bottled Michelob was originally sold in a uniquely shaped bottle named the teardrop bottle because it resembled a water droplet. The teardrop bottle was awarded a medal from the Institute of Design in 1962. Five years later the bottle was redesigned for efficiency in the production line. This bottle was used until 2002 when it was dropped in favor of a traditional bottle. The teardrop bottle was used again from January 2007 to October 2008.
Would Bud deserve more space than that?? Peter K Burian ( talk) 23:22, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
I am posting this here because nobody will see it on the talk page of the logo. The logo is just text with a simple crown graphic and probably should be available as simple public domain text file under Template:PD-logo. A good example of "not meeting threshold of creativity" is File:Best_Western_logo.svg, which oddly enough also involves a crown.- Ich ( talk) 20:34, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
See the discussion in Is this article about the Budweiser brand or Anheuser and Busch?. While it is not a majority opinion, we may have a consensus that this article should not stand on its own. It discusses one of the many brands of the Anheuser-Busch InBev company. Hence, it should be one of the brands discussed in that article.
Unless several users disagree, I will merge the Budweiser content into the Anheuser-Busch article. Before doing so, Budweiser will need condensed since it's much too long. No beer company article on Wikipedia devotes that much space to any single brand.
WP:CON :Consensus refers to the primary way decisions are made on Wikipedia, and it is accepted as the best method to achieve our goals, i.e. to achieve our five pillars. Consensus on Wikipedia does not mean unanimity (which, although an ideal result, is not always achievable); nor is it the result of a vote. Decision-making involves an effort to incorporate all editors' legitimate concerns, while respecting Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
Peter K Burian ( talk) 15:47, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
Support. I support this proposal. The article as it stands has frequently fallen into wp:FORK as people [quite reasonably] want to include the history of the American brewers. This change will resolve that issue and I can't think of any new issues it will generate. -- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 18:32, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
Oppose. The American Budweiser beer, however you feel about how it tastes, deserves a standalone article, just like Miller Lite and Coors Light do. I support either sourcing or removing any unsourced statements and merging any content not specifically related to the Budweiser brand onto the AB page.- Ich ( talk) 20:47, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
Oppose per Ich. Subject is far too notable to be merged into a parent article. If info overlaps, that's a content issue that should be fixed on the respective articles. Lizard ( talk) 23:39, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
Comment I just did a lot of cleanup. Much of the text was unencyclopedic or discussing non-notable ad campaigns. I also don't believe a 1-year sponsorship contract of NASCAR drivers in the 80s merits mention; I left the longer contracts and some of the events they had previously paid the naming rights for (although this list can be shortened, too). I added refs, too. I would welcome feedback, but I think this covers many of the objections the nominator had. I could still remove about a paragraph worth of text but don't want to go overboard.- Ich ( talk) 00:10, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
The article is not neutral, Historically "Budweiser" comes from the town of České Budějovice, the name "Budweiser" should not be used solely as disambiguation for the Anheuser–Busch brewed Beer! The title should be moved from Budweiser -> Budweiser (Anheuser–Busch) , the current title has a bias towards US American readers.
The argument that "Budweiser" stands for (Anheuser–Busch) in the English speaking world is true! Counter: Firstly - this is an encyclopaedia not a tabloid. Secondly - the internationality that English has acquired demands a title not based on colloquialism or one specific countries' traditions but neutral and descriptive facts. The current title does not fulfil these criteria and is to some extend misleading. Requests for comment! Bengt Hennig ( talk) 23:17, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: not moved. ( non-admin closure) ~SS49~ {talk} 13:08, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
Budweiser → Budweiser (AB InBev) – This is a discussion per WP:BRD, and the proposed move does not precisely duplicate any previously proposed move. The name "Budweiser" is the subject of the Budweiser trademark dispute, a long-running series of international legal disputes concerning the ownership and use of the Budweiser name. In some juristictions AB InBev has sole control of the name, and in some others Budweiser Budvar has sole control. The current title of this article is a violation of WP:NPOVTITLE in that it gives apparent support to one of the parties in this dispute. Tammbeck talk 11:11, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
I have seen that the majority prefers keeping the name Budweiser for this article because of WP:COMMONNAME, but it still can create some confussion. What about renaming this article Budweiser (AB InBev), but keeping the redirect Budweiser for this article. By keeping the redirect for this article Budweiser we respect [WP:COMMONNAME]], but by adding "(AB InBev)" to the name of the article, we increase the precision. SFBB ( talk) 21:38, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
The section labelled 'Beer' states, "Budweiser is produced using barley malt, rice, water, hops and yeast" Labelling requirements in the EU are very strict and require that the ingredients are accurate and listed in order of quantity. The Budweiser label states that the ingredients are water, rice, corn syrup, barley, malt extract, hop extract and yeast. There are two serious differences. First there is the addition of corn syrup and second, according to the label, Budweiser contains neither malt nor hops. OrewaTel ( talk) 10:20, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
