    Beers you thought were indie, import or craft beers but are actually just Anheuser-Busch InBev (AKA Budweiser) brands

    ericmortensen:

    1. Stella Artois
    2. Beck’s
    3. Leffe
    4. Hoegaarden
    5. Bass
    6. Michelob
    7. Boddingtons
    8. Bohemia
    9. Labatt
    10. Lowenbrau
    11. Murphy’s
    12. Spaten
    13. St. Pauli Girl
    14. Widmer Brothers
    15. Redhook
    16. Rolling Rock
    17. Kirin
    18. Chechvar

    as well as fake microbrews like:

    1. SkipJack
    2. ZiegenBock
    3. Wild Blue
    4. Redbridge

    To be fair. There was a time a lot of these were independent brewers. Stella is probably the worst one of the lot since I’ve heard it referred to as the Budweiser of Belgium several times now. On the plus side it’s a decent tasting lager and it’s widely available in restaurants. LOL at Labatt, Blue Light is basically the Coors light of Canada while Canadian would be the Budweiser.
