The battle for Budweiser

The prospect of Budweiser, America's favourite beer, falling into foreign hands through a $46bn takeover by Belgium's InBev has sparked dismay and derision on the other side of the pond. Americans have rallied behind Budweiser's brewer, Anheuser-Busch, launching campaigns on the internet to defend America's national icon from the Stella Artois maker's bid.

Check out this video, entitled Save Budweiser from the waffle guys.

Featuring horses and carriages to promote the "king of breweries" Anheuser-Busch, the video asks "A beer and a hot dog ... a beer and peanuts. You Belgian guys what do you have to offer?"

Striking back, this video entitled Men know why (the salvation for Budweiser) sponsored by the Belgian state and InBev says "Budweiser king of beers - very soon a Belgium beer".

Watch these Budweiser commercials - the Clydesdale team 2008. And
Bud Light Self Defense 2005.

This one features American soldiers coming home and apparently made some viewers cry
