Many years ago I heard that Michael Jackson (the beer hunter, not the pop singer) was asked what he thought about Budweiser. He said that no beer company in the world spends as much money and as much time as Anheiser Busch does to consistently make a bad beer. This may be an urban legend, but I like it anyway.
Anyone want to guess when that line was written? Considering that the line in the OP is probably almost 80 years old or older, there is a good chance that it may not have been just a marketing line. At the time of inception it could have been the premium beer by all counts, and there is nothing that requires the to change their label or moto.
Just because it laughable now doesn't mean it was then. They didn't get to what they are now on slick marketing alone--but I am sure that it doesn't hurt either.
Like how Pabst never won a blue ribbon?
So am I. watch the videos & you'll see this giant friggin' tank (Room used in Star Trek movie where they're young noobs) & they put this tiny bit of it shaped like very thin planks along the bottom for the yeast, not "aging for flavor". That's all marketing lies. Since no-one challenges them, they get away with it & the Gov get's it's money. He who has the money makes & breaks the damn rules. I say screw the rules & kill-em all! Drown'em like rats in their own horse wizz!
What if it is a trademark slogan? As a Trademark does it need to be the truth?? Any lawyers on the forum??
If they included amateur brewing I guess not.So if I brew a beer and throw some beechwood chips in during secondary can I then say that they don't have exclusive beechwood aging?
