I don't drink Budweiser unless nothing else is available. However,
Budweiser used to be proud of the fact that they used rice and even
advertised it! Why Stella Artois wanted Budweiser, I don't know, since
they already make the Budweiser of Belgium but they probably want the
factories (no error) and distribution network.
