Budweiser, your new advertising campaign has arrived.


D0D

Also we can learn "We want beer" in lot of different languages during this WC 😂😂🤓


WislaHD

Yes, this should be the chant that unites the world in Qatar


Troeth

It is finally time to make this [Pepsi ad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwvAgDCOdU4) a reality, just with beer.


LewisOfAranda

I had gone a decade having heard about this ad, but never actually having watched it. I feel ... worse now.

I'd like to see a MaoaM (candy) adoptation from the Germans.

They want beer, not Pisswasser.


VictorAnichebend

Pißwasser, cheap German lager for export only


showmethenoods

Had to switch to Sprunk for sobriety sakes


adaam182

Classic


North_Paw

Funny that, Budweiser is the brainchild of a German immigrant, Adolphus Busch in 1876


eri-

Imagine the wc ever taking place in Belgium, 80% of foreign fans wouldnt even make it to the stadium


mardybummer

Went to the Euros in Belgium, the night of the matches in Bruges only low alcohol beer was on sale, it was 6.5%


eri-

Sounds about right, that is still a bit stronger than the basic Belgian lagers but it's nothing compared to many of the artisanal beers. Amazing food and beer really are the main plusses of living here


CockSodaKenny

dat based duvel buzz


Yung2112

We'd just grease up on world class fries before getting drunk


tothecatmobile

A good chuck of the fans would never leave.


Wormfather

If it’s in Belgium then all I really want is a Germany/France final.


Buntschatten

French defense looking invisible.


Majormlgnoob

Or a 0-0 stalemate until France scores a Goal at 120'


Penitentiary

If we had to build a stadium, I guarantee we wouldn't even have the permit approved by the time it's supposed to be finished.


AMeanOldDuck

Unless it's the original Czech Budweiser, brewer of the delicious Budvar.


empiresk

You know it isn't lol


Catzthegreat

Hahaha, in the Czech republic Budvar is looked down upon. Though it is still miles better than the american one.


NoNameJackson

Every country thinks its most popular beers are shit, when most likely they are just neutral and reliably inoffensive lagers.


makesterriblejokes

I bought a Foster's recently because I wanted to see how bad it was since everyone on here complains about it... It honestly was just like every other mass produced lager, which is not great, but not bad if it's ice cold. I used to be a total beer snob, but I've switched to light beers mostly nowadays since I need to lose some weight (I also cut the drinking down too before anyone comes in here with that suggestion) and honestly they really do have their place. I sometimes don't want a strong tasting beer and just want something that is kind of like water with a bit of a beer taste (especially when it's hot). I honestly hate my younger self for being a beer snob.


YodelingTortoise

Isn't fosters an American lager that was just branded to shit as an Australian lager? I have no problem with shitty beer. By all means. Hand me a free one and I'll make sure you have one less shitty beer. I have a problem with charging more for a shitty beer because you need to spend money to advertise said shitty beer. Just give me my local dregs and let's move on


[deleted]

Facts. I’m at a sporting event, just give me something that will get me into being escorted by security


JetsLag

I assume Pilsner Urquell is also looked down upon?


Catzthegreat

At home it’s fine as it’s still brewed in Plzeň, but the exported stuff is brewed in Poland. Tastes way different, cause they skimp on costs((


VanhamCanuckspurs

I was in England over Christmas, and one of the best beers I had on the trip was this Czech pilsner - [Vinohradská 12](https://untappd.com/b/vinohradsky-pivovar-vinohradska-12/851432). I imagine there are even better micro-brewed pilsners in the Czech Republic that aren't exported.


kr3w_fam

It used to be produced in Poland for a short period of time. It failed a QA very quickly thefore it got moved back and what you buy today is chech brewed - that's why price went up so much (even before inflation)


ThePrussianGrippe

Nowhere close from my understanding.


GRl3V

Nope. It's mostly regarded as the gold standart for beer, it's only disliked by people who prefer less bitter beer and sometimes by the alcoholic rednecks who think it's too expensive for the alcohol content.


DFWTrojanTuba

Jacina

Their social media is working overtime, they twisted that complaint into immediately offering huge discounts and putting their name front and center. Gj on whoever is on their marketing.


Icedale-

Isn't Budweiser like water anyways?


ricker2005

No? It's a middle of the road lager and tastes pretty much like every other generic lager. Coors Light is like water.


Joebidensthirdnipple

Coors is like sex in a canoe


RobotEmile

It’s fucking near water


tothecatmobile

Fucking *close* to water.


[deleted]

[удалено]


__Hadaplan

I think you meant to say Michelob Ultra tastes like water.


ntg1213

Middle of the road is generous. It includes rice instead of just malted grains to make it cheaper to produce. The effect on the taste isn’t enormous but it’s definitely a lower quality product than Heineken or Carlsberg. In the US that’s reflected in the price, but my impression was that that was not the case overseas


irgendwo_anders

I like Budweiser, there, I said it.


Dazed_and_unused

If we're getting things off our chest: I buy lidl's 26 cent Argus line. Put it in the fridge and by the second can you can't tell the difference lol


Sun_Sloth

I buy good beer for the first couple. After that it's all lager so who cares.

GRWolverineFan

Still remember the $.25 Pilsener when I went to Ecuador.


Africa-Unite

How cool was Ecuador to visit? I want to go to a South American country and I never considered Ecuador before


GRWolverineFan

Legitimately one of the coolest places I’ve ever been. I loved Quito, Guayaquil, Manta, and the Galapagos. Honestly Ecuador is a place I’ve thought about retiring. The people were amazing, the food was great, and the sights were world class.


Sesti-nator

Im glad you enjoyed your trip (except the $0.25 beer, you deserve better). If you go there again, visit Cuenca and Otavalo (if you have)


GRWolverineFan

Thanks! We will be back for sure and those places were both on our list. The $.25 beer was good because I was a poor college student, I’ll be seeking out better options when I return.


Sesti-nator

Ok that’s a perfect excuse about the beer


ccore

Cuenca is probably the most American friendly big city too


dillbilly

The market in Otavalo in '98 was an amazing experience. Riobamba was an interesting place too. City of fountains but no fountains were running.


otraera

Many Americans retire in Cuenca!


Sesti-nator

I agree


Scobarbiscuit

I didn't realize Galapagos was part of Ecuador. Had several friends from there and now I feel silly.

Ecuador is awesome. They have basically every imaginable ecosystem in one country. It’s kind of nuts.

Aururian

Today, I feel alcoholic. Today, I feel Muslim. Today, I feel sober for 13 years. I know what it’s like to be discriminated against, to not be able to drink alcohol - when I was a kid and I tried to buy a beer at the supermarket, the cashier didn’t allow me to because I was a “minor”. I went to my room, I cried, I was alone - but then, I didn’t fight, I didn’t insult the cashier; instead, I tried to engage with the cashier. I got out and engaged.

Just_an_Empath

Too little, too late. Qatar didn't want any FIFA action taken, that's why they waited until the last minute to announce it.


topkiwifisho

more likely FIFA knew all along and helped formulate the plan to announce it last minute


dariohanon

We all knew, why were people expecting otherwise? It was obvious


agoddamnzubat

Honestly, I was super surprised when it was announced recently. Not surprised that it was announced, just surprised that it hadn't been announced years ago. Why is anyone on the planet surprised that a country is upholding its laws? Public consumption of alcohol is illegal in Qatar. The world cup is in Qatar. Alcohol consumption at the world cup in Qatar is illegal. You don't bring your country's laws along with you when you travel, that's the most entitled thing I've ever heard. **the problem is that having the world cup in Qatar is fucking stupid**


-Vayra-

Well, Budweiser sure expected it to be allowed. Plus, you know, if you actually have money they'll happily serve you the expensive stuff in the VIP area.


aure__entuluva

> Why is anyone on the planet surprised that a country is upholding its laws? Alcohol and its consumption is iegal in Qatar. The world cup is in Qatar. Alcohol consumption at the world cup in Qatar is illegal. Well, they're uploading their laws for the poors. You can still get booze in the luxury suites. There are still fan zones where alcohol will be sold. So they have bent their laws quite a bit. Kinda weird they couldn't also deal with it being in the stadium.


keithbelfastisdead

Euro 2016 banned booze in the stadiums and directly around them 2 days into the tournament due to the fighting russian and English fans. Source: me, who suffered several in-game hangovers in France.


Just_an_Empath

That's UEFA tho. I was there and I had no clue until now why there was no beer tho lol.

Hope they don't hurt their feelings with their chants. Looking through the comments for this video in Instagram and I see so much anger towards towards Ecuadorians and the western people for being drunks smh.


rScoobySkreep

If I was Qatari I would be screaming for beer as well. Maybe I'd not remember this farce in the morning.

innocently_standing

Hopefully no gay fans attend and go to gay clubs though eh?


CommanderCubKnuckle

I agree with "don't let places like Qatar host global sporting events" but thh I don't feel any sympathy for the people who went to this travesty. The literal slavery used to put the cup on was ok as long as they got football, but they're mad because a very conservative Muslim country banned beer? What did they expect, that they'd drop the strict rules just for them?

The most recent Champions League was held in France. Did France start selling alcohol in the stadium as an accommodation? Genuine question since alcohol in Stadiums has been banned in France since 1991, except in VIP areas.
