Anheuser-Busch's newest spirit is 1,300 years old

I'm 57 yrs old and from the age of 16 never liked there products, something I got fron there beer an instant headach unlike any other beer I drank..so I don't buy there products to this day lets see that has been 41 yrs..

Um, "Since Ku Soju is lower in alcohol, the brewer could market it a both as a lower-calorie alternative and a more socially responsible drink for those who must drive home."

socially responsible drink? first there really is none, second... soju is probbbably the most socially irresponsible drink... koreans are known to down and pound it

theyre like pringles once you pop you cant stop!

Umm..who care's?

hey kgirl,
i'm korean you don't see me running around trying to get hammer than drive, the people you are referring to are my brother's WHITE friend "hey let's drink and drive at the same time eventhough we have a designated driver!"
"Since Ku Soju is lower in alcohol, the brewer could market it a both as a lower-calorie alternative and a more socially responsible drink for those who must drive home."
it's not our fault the retarded ass beer makers decided hey let's market this in a way that will probably killer millions of people because their capitolist jackasses.
and for your information i do not drink and drive, nor do i drink any kind of alcohol...SO HA!!!!!!
i'm probably going to be the one to cut all your Hep-y cancer riddled livers out...put you on the brain transplant list...NOT.

Ku Soju is a Korean drink thats 1,300 years old made out of sweet potatoes? What did they make it out of 1,300 years ago? Aren't potatoes, sweet or not, native to the new world?

Socially responsible?! 48 proof means 24% alcohol content. Most American beer, including the weak AB products, is 5-8% alcohol. If they try to use the "socially responsible" angle in their advertising, it will backfire.

want to know why AB sucks.....just go see there clydesdales.....when I saw them in Scarborough, Maine in June they were kept in jail cells where they do not even have enough room to turn around and to top it off they were caged on asphalt! Not only does AB sucks there products and arrogent attitude does also!

Yeah I know, when I saw the clydedales quaters I switched to Miller products and the bonus is, there better!!!!!!

jesse-their
jeff-they're
THERE is an adjective that describes where something is

I live in St.Louis and get nothing but grief for drinking Miller products. Use to drink AB products but switched. Miller products taste better.
Budweiser/Headache, Busch/Blah, Bud Light/Yeah Right, Michelob Ultra/Ha Ha, Busch Light/Why. I'll give it to AB for Amber Bock and Tequiza. I still wish they had Michelob Dark and Elephant Red. Must of been because St.Louisian's could not see beyond Bud and Busch. Why are people in St. Louis so loyal to AB? They have done nothing for the city of St.Louis. Ruined the Cardinals after Auggie Busch past away. Destroyed the farm system. AB products are cheaper pretty much everywhere else but here. Why is that? I'm glad Miller got the rights to sell their products for the Blues. Maybe that will get other people to taste other beers which are as good if not better than AB's.

That entire piece made no sense.

1)Yes, sweet potatos are from the New World so how can Korea have been making this sweet potato based beverage for 1300 years?

2) If Ku Soju is a 48-proof Korean spirit how can it have a "low enough alcohol content that it can be sold by most vendors who carry a beer/wine license?" I don't drink but isn't 48 proof kinda high? I thought beer and wine were generally under 10%-15% or 5 to 7 proof!
"Since Ku Soju is lower in alcohol, the brewer could market it... as a more socially responsible drink for those who must drive home." Yeah, at 48 proof, lower in alcohol than grain alcohol maybe.

3) Anheuser-Busch has been selling two alcoholic beverages called Jekyll & Hyde. The article then states, "J&H are two spirits packaged together in complementary bottles. J tastes of berries, while K is flavored with anise. What does "K" refer to, I mean what the heck is "K"? I thought "J" is for Jekyl, H is for Hyde. So what's with the "K"?

Designated drivers should be sober. Duh.

I have been in business now for 38 years and the only beer I handle is Anheuser-Busch (NYSE:BUD
I haven't tried the ku souj yet but looking forward to,
and selling it at my bar

I am a beer expert. I weight 625 pounds and drink a case of beer a day. I look forward to this new one as a case no longer gets me drunk and I'd like to get drunk again. If the boys in St. Louis would send me a few cases free (maybe with a few boxes of sweet potatoe chips too) then if I like it I might alone keep them in business.

To the sponsors of this blogging site: If you delete all the comments that are incorrectly spelled or ungrammatical, you will have nothing to display. The number of people in this country (and probably others) who have little or no writing skills is incomprehensible!

I agree. The article alone is as far from English as these sweet potatoes. I wasn't aware of the necessity to use A in this sentence (could market it a both as a) sort of looks as bad as a double negative, Aye?

A-B...Miller....?

Yuck with a capital 'Yuh'

Mass produced coporate swill, all of it.

Local micro breweries and regional brewers make the best tasting stuff...and stay competitive with the corporate sludge.

Try some local brews and I'll be you never..I mean NEVER.. go back!
