DZ, are you sure a Italian guy brought Budweiser to US?
I thought it was a German guy.
Sometimes, the topic who owned "Budweiser" is still on local newspaper. However, most St. Louisan believe it is a US brand. That is the reason many locals were very anger about selling AB to a Europen company.
Any difference in taste of two BUD?
I do not drink Budweiser anymore. It is too "Light" although it is its feature!
Good luch with your travel!
