Becks-aholics' Brouhaha

If you're a heavy drinker and you drink beck's, you might be in luck. In a preliminary settlement Anheuser-Busch LLC is agreeing to refund your beer money.


"Beck's Beer may have "originated in Bremen, Germany" back in 1873 but the beer supplied here in the U.S. has been brewed in St. Louis since 2012.

That left some beer drinkers feeling bamboozled—so they filed a lawsuit.

Now Anheuser-Busch InBev has agreed to settle the class action case and is offering refunds.

The suit, filed in U.S. district court in Miami in 2013, alleged the brewing giant "committed unfair and deceptive practices" by marketing and selling beer "in a way that misleads consumers into believing that Beck's Beer is German, still imported from Germany."

"...As an additional part of the settlement Anheuser-Busch agrees to make the phrase "Brewed in USA" or "Product of the USA" more visible on each bottle."

you can get 12 whole dollars or up to 50 dollars with proofs of purchase you've been saving this whole time in case something like this ever happened. of course it will probably take a year or so before you see any money after the period to aggregate claims and the following appeal process. this is all preliminary and the claim process hasn't started yet. This is for the US and the rest of of you third worlders will have to keep drinking your dirty water
