Burger King to Sell Budweiser, Bud Light

[Tail My Lock]

Burger King announced last week that it is about to begin selling beer, an effort to better compete with casual dining restaurants, the St. Louis Business Journal reports. The burger giant will begin selling Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors products at a new Whopper Bar opening next month in South Beach, Florida, the company's first U.S. location to sell beer. Beer will be sold in special aluminum bottles and cost $4.25. As part of a Whopper-beer combo, the total will be $7.99, roughly $2 more than the same combo meal with a fountain drink.


Burger King plans to open additional Whopper Bars in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York City and Malaga, Spain, where beer sales may also follow. The company is not expected to sell beer at its conventional Burger King restaurants.

Well, I think you'd have be an idiot to pay for $4.25 for a bottle of Bud Light in a burger King

For $2 though, it's a nice upgrade from a diet coke when ordering a combo.

I'm not a big Budweiser fan but it makes the meal somewhat affordable. Doubt you'll ever see Guiness on the menu......

for the ones in LA they better get some good security...

They're going to have to call it a "Happier Meal".

The biggest problem will be to get alcohol licenses for every franchise.

[jlgarciaiii22]

Sounds good... You'll need it to wash down the nasty burger taste the WHOPPER leaves behind.

[coanwe]

Bingo

They will lose money on the cost of the license.

DUMB IDEA, plus they may not get licensed in many areas.

Yes it will be tough in some places but they will not LOSE money on the cost of the license....

Yea the last part ruined it for me. I was already putting my shoes on.

Not really.


You can get just a beer and wine license over a full liquor license in most states and it's much cheaper.

A lot of 'american fast food' joints outside this country sell beer. Hell, the McCrapolds in Macedonia has very cold beer in fact. I'm hoping Whataburger here in Texas starts selling martini's soon

[DwightShrute]

nothing better while driving home wasted and hungry at 3am and be able to stop at a Burger King drive thru, getting a whopper and couple beers for the drive home.

[WhatAboutMeBitch]

what a tease

[tltaylor89]

rofl wonder if you can only order beer if you have to dine in

[MJT1212]

Burger king smurger king. If I do go to one of the locations that it will be located I would never go to Whopper Bar. Just look at the locales, all tourist places, who's going to go to the Whopper Bar when there in Vegas, come on now, they need to put them in smalltown USA if they want some business.

Sounds like we will have more people ordering that Burger King gift card in the SBR Store after this goes through everywhere!

[QB_Disruptor]

Nothing like crappy beer to go with a crappy burger.

[Dad]

Wow, a shitty excuse for beef and a shitty excuse for beer! And I can pay too much for it? Where do I sign up for this dream deal?
