A state lawmaker wants to give the "King of Beers" its own kingdom by making Budweiser the official beer of Missouri.
Budweiser is a Missouri-based international icon that - if officially recognized - might even persuade more people to visit the state, state Rep. Curt Dougherty said Friday.
"We've got a state dinosaur, a state frog, a state reptile, a state flower, a state nut, but no one has given a thought to a company that's been in Missouri for many, many years and is bringing prosperity to our state and manufacturing a product in our state that many people enjoy," Dougherty said.
Dougherty's bill was introduced last week but has not been referred to a House committee. |
