OTish: Anheuser-Busch becomes official beer of Texas athletics
Anheuser-Busch, one of the nation’s largest brewers, announced Thursday that it will become the “exclusive domestic and craft beer sponsor” of Texas athletics, the Texas Exes alumni association and the AT&T Red River Showdown game against rival Oklahoma.

Bud Light will release UT-branded packaging in 16-ounce aluminum bottles and 12-ounce cans in the state of Texas starting Sept. 1.
Should UM sign a deal with Veuve-Clicquot?
We’ve got Busch!
I'm a little surprised they didn't go with Shiner Ruby Redbird
Shiner is an underrated brewery. They have some clunkers, but some solid beers for about $ 12-13 for a twelve pack.
It ain't Unibroue or Samuel Smith or a Belge Abbey Ale (Abt 12 or even Duvel) but as a general drinkable beer with a meal, they do pretty well.
Not a fan of anything Anheuser-Busch and can't stand Busch light but the BL Apple is not bad. Seasonal and it sells out quick. Learned my lesson last year and got 4 30 packs to last me through the fall.
The only choice for UM athletics.
Ah, Fire-brewed exlax.
The finest Detroit fire-brewed ex-lax!
user name....checking out.
"After the Brewery on Gratiot is Gone"
Perhaps the most under-appreciated song every recorded.
"Out on the road today I saw a Moosehead sticker on a Cadillac. A little voice inside my head said to try a six-pack, go and buy a six-pack..."
Classic!
Tip: In case you haven't already looked, there are some Bruiser Band tunes on YouTube.
Thank you!
Aside from such low-brow acts as Bob Seger, Ted Nugent, Madonna, and Eminem, and all that Motown stuff, has Michigan ever produced a finer band than Bruiser Band? Besides the MMB of course...
Definitely underrated. : )
I first heard the "Bars" and "96 Beers" combo during a severe Saturday-morning hangover. Quite a pick-me-up! I have fond memories of it for that reason.
Good lord, man. Check out MC5. And the Stooges. I've never even heard of Bruiser Band, but those two are iconic.
We're both joking to some degree and it's age-related. If you listened to WRIF Detroit in the early 80s it would make some sense.
The Bruiser Band was a light-hearted assortment of musicians who spoofed several songs back in the 1980s. My post was largely in jest, although I do have fond memories of some of their more clever stuff. From WRIF radio, which used to be good if you were a high schooler in that decade. Dick the Bruiser did a little episode with a MMB sound track once in which he played the baritone sort of to the tune of the chorus of The Victors.
I should have given more details. Apologies.
WRIF and the Bruiser Band needs no apology. Ayatollah, you have our hostages, we want to get them back. (to My Sharona!). Detroit's version of Weird Al Yankovich.
Ah, gotcha! It's a had to be there thing. Sounds like a fun group.
kinda surprised it's not Shiner Bock
Ummm... That's good stuff!
I'm shocked it's not Lone Star.
Or Dixie Beer. Do they still even make that though?
having lived in TX for a spell..... I can tell you Lone Star was founded by Adolphus Busch......
it is currently owned by Pabst Brewing, as is Strohs, Old Style, Blatz, Old Milwaukee, Olympia, Rainier, Schlitz, etc.... PBR started gobbling up many of those small regional favorite brands as their way of competing with the multi national conglomerates InBev and SABMiller.
for what its worth.

That's an all-star lineup right there.
Veuve-Clicquot. Hahaha, Love it.
Practical. You can dress it up or dress it down as required for more formal night games or more casual 12:00PM start.
in a similar deal, OSU secured Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Don't insult PBR as a cold one on tap isn't too bad. I think Natty Light would be more appropriate.
White claw, definitely white claw…
Igloo: THE official sponsor of OSU fans to poop in.
actually, another sponsor stepped up to bat for ohio....
word has it they want to be called 'the zima'
Hold my...
This one might be a bit too classy

I'd be cautious if offered the ButtCrack Brown Ale.
How would you describe the "nose" of this particular ale? Is the beer evaluator considered a brown noser?
negged. PBR is phenomenal and OSU sucks
Anheuser-Busch is back!
Rolling rock
Come on down, Bell’s. I would love me a frosty Oberon at the stadium.
At UM, Michigan Stadium, section 4, seems like a Whispering Angel crowd, and boy do they love the whine…
Does this provide a transformational or transactional experience for Texas fans?
Apparently not, but it is Rust Cole's favorite beer and that is all that really matters.
I mean Texas A&M or other Texas schools have to be calling Lone Star, Shiner Bock, Coors right away as counter sponsorship don't they?
I hate the aluminum bottles. The wide mouth ones are OK but the long necks are terrible. They never get cold and are warm in 10 minutes.
damn.... i'll be sure not to neglect my beer for 10 minutes..... I never knew.
We are 5-10 years away from player unions and CBAs in college football/basketball, and possibly even into non-revenue sports. Nothing like watching 5 and high-4 start recruits get all the NIL while you, as a 3 star or squad player, are still eating ramen out of a cup and studying for finals.
Player strike to follow, then unionization, then CBA, then salary cap.
can't wait.gif
I'd suggest my local favorite for UM athletics, but it would cause a 4th quarter outbreak of violent gas that would fill the stadium with the smell of ass...
They make a half hearted now. It’s a lighter version and tastes good.
