" If you bought a keg in Greensboro, NC you might have gotten some crappy beer with a more expensive label, says the News-Record. David Edward Essa, 34, and Robert Christopher Martin, 35 are charged with three counts of the delightful-sounding felony "obtaining money by false pretenses," after placing more expensive brand names on cheaper beer. ... In April, ALE Agents covertly ordered a keg of beer labeled with the Bud Light brand from an employee at the University General Store. They also obtained samples of the Bud Light on tap at the Spring Garden Bar and Pizzeria. Analysis of both samples indicated the beer was Busch Light in both cases. "

Those guys are idiots. Busch Light is distinctively more awful than Bud Light.

OMFG, PUT THEM in FEDERAL "POUND IN THE ASS" PRISON

GG...putting the label of a bad beer, on a worse beer.

Despite the fact that they both suck though, you don't mess with a man's beer.

5/23/2008 2:24:13 PM

Well at least the ALE is on the side of the drinkers in the case, as opposed to just harassing college kids

bad beer or not, they sold something as product A when it was actually product B. it's the principle of the matter.

I beg to differ. Splitting hairs yes, but still.

5/23/2008 2:59:17 PM

5/23/2008 3:09:57 PM

While I do not agree with your opinion I will fight to the death to protect it, sir.

5/23/2008 3:10:53 PM

5/23/2008 3:27:08 PM

I like PBR

5/23/2008 3:32:40 PM

this is a clear case of insurance......fr-oww-ed??..

5/23/2008 3:41:46 PM

Molson is not bad, neither is PBR (i lived off of it in college). My favorite is Killians, Dos Equis, and Newcastle, but you gotta have variety in there at times and this week it was Molson.

5/23/2008 3:42:44 PM

5/23/2008 4:02:03 PM

I just got a case of Miller Lite because it was on sale at food lion for the same price as High Life.

Now I wish I had just gotten High Life.
