Budweiser: Official Beer of Toronto FC 2013

[Red CB Toronto]

yeah, cause we'd pay $11 for a large bud..
fuckin come on man!!

i saw a mockup of a portland kit once that had rouge as a sponsor and i nearly shat myself and the prospect that the team could've had one of my favourite breweries on their shirt. i agree with the rest of you, something more local would be best, but in terms of sponsorship (aka: $) (aka: look at who we're talking about) bud sponsors a few other teams. im not going to buy it, in fact, im going to steer the fuck clear of it, but steamwhistle or mill st, hell even KLB or great lakes would do!!

Where can u buy Rouge in Toronto, I was on their website and they had a bacon beer, it grabbed my attention..

[Yagbod]

Is this for real? Is there an announcement somewhere?

There's so many decent beers in this city ... why do they keep going for foreign crap like Bud, Molson, or Labatt?

Seconded. Where is the announement? Links, or it's not true.

[dupont]

From one horrible beer to another horrible beer. It's not surprising though since the better beers are made by smaller breweries that could never afford to sponsor a sports team.

[nfitz]

Carlsberg never seemed to offend me as badly as Canadian, Bud, or Blue. Maybe it's my anti-American bigotry playing with my taste buds.

I've seen the Dead Guy Ale at the LCBO and places like the Bier Markt have it, Wvrst does as well i believe. Dead Guy Ale is some seriously good stuff.

King and Spadina LCBO has Rogue beers - they had a limited run of the bacon beer as well - it was not nice

[werewolf]

At those prices, even if they switched to Hacker-Pschorr, I still wouldn't be buying beer at the stadium. $10 for a $2 can...GTFO

[C.Ronaldo]

EWWWW!!

Thats all

[Alixir]

that is the last straw with this club...I can handle shitty product on the field but I will be damned if I am forced to drink shitty beer. Fuck this club and its shit beer!
Anselmi can eat a dirty asshole cause thats what shwagweiser tastes like (I would assume that a shitty asshole would taste a lot like Bud.

[jabbronies]

This is more reason to pre-drink at a local bar!

SUPPORT LOCAL BAR OWNERS

[Red CB Toronto]

At least it is not the lowlife of American beer, PBR that has seemed to have found a life here in Canada.

[tfcleeds]

^and SUPPORT LOCAL BEER (Great Lakes, Steam Whistle, Granite Brewery, Mill St., Hogtown, etc. etc.)

[Alixir]

I gave you a pint of Bud one night at the Jester - and you didn't notice...
Granted, it was your 17th pint of the day!

shit man were you trying to poison him!!!
Anyhoo...I will continue to smuggle cans of Newcastle Brown in to the stadium

[jaahuuu]

There is also something to be said for purchasing products from soccer sponsors, like the support local soccer initiative support products that support your interest. Carlsberg (or Bud) have more money that can be put into the game in this country than I ever could. If it means drinking the odd beer that you don't enjoy for continued soccer sponsorship money I'll do it.

Chances are you are already supporting them. Bud is owned by A-B InBev, they also own Alexander Keith's, Labatt, Bass, Beck's, Goose Island, Hoegaarden, Jupiler (sponsor of the top football leagues in Belguim and the Netherlands), Kokanee, Lakeport, Lowenbrau, Spaten, St Pauli Girl, Stella Artois, and about 200 other brands. You can support the sponsor, and at the same time not drink swill.

well, for starters you would brew it in canada, which is what they have done ... Bud is brewed here in london by labatt, and is actually exported from here to western NY. although, im told by friends at labatt that 'canadian' Bud is not the same as 'american' Bud. in all honesty, i don't mind 'canadian' Bud, i find it far more enjoyable than molson canadian.

There are also certain types of Labatt that are brewed in the US (by Genny in Rochester, yeech!).

Genny, lol. Funny how the ones they are brewing (Labatt Blue Light Lime and Labatt Ice) there are ones you never see people drink here.

Goodbye Tetley's (owned by Carlsberg) and hello Bass and Alexander Keith's and Brava and Becks and Stella (all owned by InBev)

The biggest problem I have with this is Bass is inferior to Tetley's.

Apart from that, really, this is Labatt's parent company, who have the monopoly at the Dome with Roger's, consolidating.

[FluSH]

Say it aint so....

[J-Man]

As Im reading this post Im drinking a nice cold bud and loving the news for next year.

[tfcleeds]

^You should really try something called "beer" sometime...

Tetleys and Bass are completely different beers... You can`t say one is inferior to the other - it`s apples and oranges, man. Apples and Oranges.

Yes they are different but looking through InBev's choices, that is what we will likely get next season as the "english" beer.

I vote for a nice Midland Mild type, like Hockley Dark English ale, mmmmm

Understatement of the year. (narrowly edging out "we are the worst team in the world")

[bigredone]

Worst thread to read while stuck at work!

[MartinUtd]

Decent Czech beer. I hope that's what this is about.

[boban]

don't do the Carlesberg thing, but do enjoy Tuborg.
Does that mean Tuborg is dead next year?

[RC8]

NOOOO!

I can't drink beer at the skydome and now I won't be able to drink beer at TFC either...

[Parkdale]

you know what I like? FREE BEER across the GO tunnel.

now that, was amazing!

and to be honest, the new Faxe 5% is better than Bud. Faxe used to just make whinocans of 8-10% 'strong beer', so it's good to see they're getting into a regular market.
