Is That Water in My Budweiser?
Posted on February 27, 2013 at 09:04 AM EST
Hot on the heels of the Maker's Mark "watered down" bourbon fiasco (see Did Maker's Mark Commit Brand Suicide?), there's a new controversy brewing. This time, it's the iconic brewer Anheuser-Busch that is being accused of watering down their product. The firm, now part of InBev, is the target of a $5 million lawsuit claiming that the alcohol content of the product is below that stated on the label due to the addition of water. Budweiser, Michelob, and other A-B brands are said to be affected by the practice.
