Bud Light Lime = Mexico
Regardless of name, it all is like sex in a canoe 
It’s a metaphor. Now you too can buy “America”, just like the wealthy!
As opposed to Canadian? 
This reminds me of a Tweet I saw recently:
@KyleMcDowell86: [Little Caesar’s meeting]
“We need a new, clever slogan”
everyone looks at Jim
Jim: Um… Pizza…Pizza?
“Jim…U just saved this company”
No, we drink actual beer here, not that weak horse-piss.
My Grandpa always said we could never trust the Belch. Or something along those lines.
Hate Bud except for Platinum…6 alcohol and only 100 calories. The best of both world’s.
Belgium doesn’t exist. It’s a rounding error, like Timbits or Rhode Island.
And which country has a Global Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve? We won’t need a moat.
It’s a clever ploy. No one wants to be caught openly stating “America sucks”.
I’ve had both Molson and Lebatt, so you can’t be referring to that swill.
No, that’s American beer merely pretending. Molson’s is now owned by Coors, which is horrible, and Labatt’s is now owned by Anheuser-Busch, so it’s just Budwieser in a different coloured can.
This doesn’t really go to disprove my point, though, which is that if this worked, everyone would do it. The guy on the way to the monster truck jam would be driving a Ford America, wearing America brand jeans, smoking America cigarettes, and on the way out the door would grab an America candy bar for his kid.

Labatt’s Blue has always been horrible.
Canadians drink the same beers as Americans and should just accept that fact. Canadian beer is not and has never been better. The most popular beers in Canada by sales are Bud, Bud Light, Molson Canadian, Blue, and Coors Light, and if you gave 100 Canadians a double blinded taste test challenging them to taste the difference between Bud and Canadian they’d all fail.
What, not Beery McBeerface? 
What’s wrong with these people?
Hmm…a marketing ploy to rename their biggest product…I’ve got it! When they change the name back, it’ll be New Bud! Or maybe Classic Bud.
The main thing stopping everyone from doing it is that the name can’t be trademarked. So there’s legally nothing to stop Coors or Miller from naming their beer America too. But it would be dumb, because now there truly is no brand distinction.
I think it could work once in Budweiser’s case, but you might be right that it does nothing but confuse consumers. I have faith in the blind nativism of Bud drinkers to snap up a case of America, but stupidity (“huh? what’s this crap? where the hell did my Bud go?”) is a strong competitor.
America? Fuck that shit! PABST BLUE RIBBON!
Seriously? (Hangs head in shame) Those are all horrible, horrible beverages. I guess most of us really do just drink American beer in different cans. I must be an outlier.
Will they be accused of hating America when they change the name back?
I think they’re taking the piss out of American politics.
Who knew Belgians had a sense of humour?
Not if they name it “Trump”.
Neither am I.
Yes, they will. People who drink Budweiser don’t want to drink Coors or Miller or “exotic hipster” craft beers. If “America” suddenly replaces their favored brew (with the same blue font!) in the cooler at the liquor store between the Bud Light and Bud Lime, they will either rub two brain cells together and figure it out, or they will complain to the store clerk, who will let them in on the big mystery. Then Mr. Bud will say “fuck yeah, 'Merica!” and give the clerk a high-five (as long as he is white and doesn’t look gay), walk out with the case held over his head chanting “USA, USA, USA,” fasten it safely into the child seat (junior is on the floor playing with a gun…hey, don’t worry the windows were cracked), and roll coal on the Priuses whose owners are there buying wine coolers while leaving the parking lot .
If anything, they may sell more because people who don’t care about beer but need to buy a couple cases for their July 4th party or whatever will think it is cute/funny to buy “America” instead of whatever else they might grab.
