    Busch Beer was created to spite Major League Baseball. STL Cardinals owner August Busch Jr was told by MLB he couldn't name their ballpark Budweiser Stadium. He got approval to name it after his family, and then ordered his brewers to create the new beer.

                  @jon-nyc Is the video sped up? The writing says "30 seconds" but the video is only 15 seconds.

                  Even so, still impressive!!!!!
