Brendan Whitworth says U.S.-made beer should be reclassified to better capture the spirit that’s ‘intrinsic to the American beer

Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth is calling on the beer industry to replace the term "domestic" with "American" when referring to U.S.-made beers. In a letter to distributors and partners, Whitworth said the word "domestic" is frequently used at points of sale, but he would prefer the term "American" to be used instead.

People don’t buy “domestic” cars or salute the “domestic” flag, so they shouldn’t drink “domestic” beer. At least, that’s what Anheuser-Busch’s CEO thinks.
