Reading between the lines, they're actually saying this is already being investigated.

Which is more something than nothing.

But at the end of the day, if they make any change at all it will be wording on the box and then it'll be business as usual.

Yep.

Yes, and if even if we had something to say we couldn't, so don't ask us.
But we might be doing something, or we might not. Either way leave us alone

A-B AGREES TO DEAL WITH CONFUSED BECK'S DRINKERS

Anheuser-Busch InBev has agreed to settle a class action suit that alleged the brewing company "committed unfair and deceptive practices" by marketing and selling beer "in a way that misleads consumers into believing that Beck's Beer is German, still imported from Germany." A-B began brewing the Beck's beer sold in the United States at its St. Louis brewery in 2011.

In a preliminary settlement, which is set for a final approval hearing in October, Anheuser-Busch is agreeing to provide refunds to any consumer who purchased Beck's in the United States since May 2011. Refunds would be distributed on the following basis: a. $0.10 for each Individual bottle or can; b. $.50 for each six pack of 12 oz. bottles or cans; c. $.50 for each four pack of 16 oz. cans; d. $1.00 for each Twelve pack of 12 oz. bottles or cans; e. $1.25 for each fifteen pack of 12 oz. bottles or cans; f. $1.75 for each twenty pack of 12 oz. bottles. Claims will be limited to $50 for those who can provide valid receipts and $12 to those without proof of purchase. As an additional part of the settlement Anheuser-Busch agrees to make the phrase "Brewed in USA" or "Product of the USA" more visible on each bottle.
