DRINKERS SUE AB INBEV FOR ‘WATERING DOWN’ BEER
Feb 27, 2013 6
(TheDrinksBusiness) - US drinkers are attempting to take the brewing powerhouse AB InBev to court for “watering down” its beers.
Lawsuits totalling US$5 million (£3.3m) have been filed in Pennsylvania and California among other states, with drinkers saying that the alcoholic strength on the bottle did not match that of the liquid inside.
Ten AB InBev beers are cited in the suits, particularly Budweiser and Michelob.
The BBC reported that the brewing giant has ridiculed the claims as “completely false”.
A number of the lawsuits are apparently based on information given by former employees of various breweries.
