I'm already a Stella drinker, so, yeah, it's in the states.

My question is: Does this automatically make Bud a foreign beer?

I think that what makes a beerr foreign, is the fact where it originated. If we take the states as a locale, then Heineken would be considered a foreign beer despite the fact that it's most likely brewed in the US. So if Bud started in the US it's still a domestic beer, even if the governing brewer is foreign. Hell, they could make Bid in Belgium now, export it to the US and it would still be a domestic beer.

Haha...yeah, they could. But it'd still taste like Bud. Only more expensive. I'm actually surprised Anheuser costed that much. Well....not that much considering the 33% discount afforded to InBev by way of the currency exchange rate between the euro and the dollar. I expect to see more domestic(i.e. not multinational) companies in the US enter into similar deals.
