F**k Yeah: Budweiser Will Be Selling ‘America’ Beer for the Next Few Months

Get ready for a moderately okay taste of America, folks, because Budweiser is changing its name on its cans to literally the word AMERICA from now until the election:

Here's to America the beautiful. Hold her high this summer. #ThisBudsForYou pic.twitter.com/6uUd92MTJB

Here’s how Budweiser VP Ricardo Marques explained it in a definitely not over-the-top statement:

“We are embarking on what should be the most patriotic summer that this generation has ever seen, with Copa America Centenario being held on U.S. soil for the first time, Team USA competing at the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Budweiser has always strived to embody America in a bottle, and we’re honored to salute this great nation where our beer has been passionately brewed for the past 140 years.”

The campaign is literally called “America is in Your Hands” and the bottles & cans will start being available for sale on May 23rd.

Because all this election needs is Donald Trump holding up an America beer can at a campaign rally in front of American flags while bald eagles are perched on both of his shoulders, and then we will have truly reached peak MURICA!
