For months now World Cup Blog has taken a firm and principled stand against the mere idea of having to drink the paint thinner American beer called Budweiser while on German soil during the World Cup. Today the beer gods have heard us. As part of a settlement of a legal dispute over the name Budweiser, an agreement has been reached that will allow the German beer maker Bitburger to sell its beer at all stadiums during the tournament. This is huge and glorious news for anyone going to the World Cup. It very well could lead to world peace and a cure for cancer. We’ve never been so thankful for lawyers and lawsuits. We’re heading down the street to the corner pub right now. The first round is on us!
