I saw this on the news today [URL="http://www.brewblog.com/brew/2008/03/bud-ale-coming.html"]
The rumor is that it will be an Amber ale, hopped with Cascades. It is supposed to be the same ale that AB considered launching back in 1997 to compete with Sam Adams.
Now, does this have something to do with the scarcity of Cascade hops now? And did rumors of AB getting ready to launch this beer back in 1997 have anything to do with the oversupply of Cascade hops in the years after 1997?
