NightSide - Is Budweiser The American Beer?

BOSTON (CBS) - Even though it is owned by a Belgian company, Budweiser is often referred to as the American beer. Anheuser-Busch, which owns the Budweiser brands, makes up just over half of beer sales in the U.S. Last week, Budweiser announced it will be sold under a different name starting next Monday and continuing up to the November elections. The can will simply be labeled "America". Do you think of Budweiser as an American product even though it's owned by a Belgian company? What's your reaction to this promotion? Should Americans try harder to buy American products?
