Budweiser’s popularity, explained
July 17, 2008 at 1:15 pm by Andisheh Nouraee in NewsSalon.com has an interesting, schadenfreudey story about the foreign takeover of Budweiser.
Among other things, the story offers a practical explanation for the watery lager’s popularity in the South:
Budweiser is especially popular in the South. Because of the Bible Belt temperance movement, a lack of German immigrants and a hot climate unsuited for brewing, the region developed few indigenous beers. It’s also close to St. Louis. Shipping was easy and, until the Braves moved to Atlanta, the Cardinals were Dixie’s team.
Can any of our Beechwood-aged readers attest to the plausibility of the explanation offered in the quotation?

That doesn’t explain why they are more popular than other watered down nasty brew.
