So, the football world cup is going to be in Germany, land of beer, and the official beer of the championship is ... Budweiser, one of the worst beers there are (and we're talking the US version, not the original Czech).

How bloody stupid is that? Bloody international corporations.

even worse than the beer is the ticket policy. One third to promoters/advertising VIPs, One third Online to out of country exclusively(except no one can figure out the system) and a measly third for the punters. Feh I say!

Yes, I remember talking about that with a colleague recently. Apparently Anheuser Busch also got permission to sell their wares as "Budweiser" on the continent for the duration of the World Cup.

I still won't drink it.

It probably will by default -- no other beer is allowed to be on sale at matches, that's part of the deal.

See, there's an American with taste in beer. Especially if it's dark. :o)

Meat (especially pork) products, more like.
In terms of chocolate, Germany comes third at most after Belgium and Switzerland.
Still some of the best beers are from Germany.

It works out as 8% of the tickets are sold to fans of the two teams on the pitch, although the FA seem to have managed to get a few more. Amazing that they've managed to do something right for once. Also you could only use Mastercard, the official sponsor, to buy tickets online.

Hee, I drink Augustiner Helles if I want light.

And I don't mean diet.

Why the HELL are they drinking diet beer? So not worth it. It completely ruins the reason to be drinking beer in the first place. Either cut it out, or drink the real stuff. Even.. gasp.. in moderation!

Bah.

Diet beer is horsepiss. Or water. Or watery piss. It doesn't even taste like beer. Hrmph.
