    Interesting case.

    Both beers suck though.

    Having been in the business for 4 generations this is nothing new.

    All beer marketing is fluff

    Bud Light could hit back on the "cold filtered" claim because when filtering beer you can only do so cold (allows yeast to settle)

    Lowenbrau case from 80s regarding marketing as import....

    Funny thing is AB produce beer lines like Busch, Natural, etc that readily use corn syrup and the volume if those beers exceeds coors & miller.... very iconic

    It's mute anyway because none of it is in the final product (no gluten or sugars either)....

    Interesting stuff fatso... I don't care really just like to watch the food fight. I drink Miller Lite. It tastes good and does not give me a headache like bud products

    Van Munching's kid (Leo was exclusive Heineken importer for 70 years) wrote a book about these fights... might have been called beer wars. Good entertainment actually.

    All kinds of funny stuff

    Sam Adams brewed in Cincinnati, by a 3rd party w Kock running around like he's got a little brewery

    Miller owned and funded by RJ Renyolds Tobacco, taking cigarette money to dump into beer as to avoid paying class action exposure

    Kraft buting Miller/ RJ Renyolds

    The Schmidt brewing fiasco of the late 70s

    The Heileman take over by Alan Bond and failed laynch of "Power Master, obey your master" malt liquor lol

    Corona piss in bottles rumor

    All the kidnapping and murders and scandals of these beer families lol

    List is endless
