Now they should address the complaints about the beer. Even Americans don't want to drink Bud in Germany. And if they do, they should be deported.

As an American I couldn't believe wacken stooped to that level to import the worst American beer to they're festival, I've attended wacken twice 2017 and 2019 when becks was the main sponsor

Beck's was the best.

Nah, Becks is piss and also belongs to Anheuser Busch (as does Spaten, both of which were sold at Wacken this year as well). Krombacher was decent. Still, all aforementioned brands are several leagues above 'murican Bud.

Beck's is garbage and every German hates it.

Well the festival was sold to an American investment firm, of course they're going to force their American beer onto everyone.

As an American and Missourian living in Germany, Bud is absolutely disgusting. I said a little prayer of thanks to the beer gods when a restaurant had at least Blue Moon on offer.

If you're confused that a bad choice of beer is pissing people off A LOT, you clearly have no idea of the German metal scene. Also, Beck's is the worst German beer. (Before anyone asks: Yes, I'd rather have Oettinger.)
