is it true Budweiser makes shock top?
i told a coworker today about how i tried one yesterday and rather enjoyed it,
he responded saying, oh, did you know Budweiser makes shock top?
i was like 0.o
InBev also owns brands like Leffe, Franziskaner, Hoegaarden, and Becks. I know they now brew Becks in the US, which some have said to change the flavor a bit (due to different water). Shock Top is not crazily mass produced, so they don't use the same "adjunct" ingredients, like corn, in the brewing process to keep costs low. So already, it's going to have a different and better flavor, no matter where it's brewed.

If you like Shock Top (a Belgian Wit/Wheat) you could try similar beers like a Leffe or Hoegaarden. Blue Moon is a solid choice at a bar as well that is similar, but has its own unique taste.
Other styles that resemble Belgian Wits are German hefeweizens or American Wheats (like Blue Moon). Paulaner and Hacker Pschorr are both similar and good choices for not too much money as well. Wiehenstephaner (if you can find it) is probably the best german hefe out there, and oldest as well. Really unique, subtle flavors like banana and spice are what I really like about wiehenstephaner.
Don't forget about pale ales, too! They may sound boring but a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, or even their Kellerweizen (hefeweizen) is considered one of the best in America, and at a good price.
I'm jealous of your residence in Cali, its basically the beer capital of the West Cost. Stone brewing makes a great pale ale as well as a ton of other styles. More costly, but very delicious as well.

I watched a documentary once about ab inbev's market domination in the beer scene. They own something like 50% of the brands you see at your local grocery store, that statistic is probably lower at your local bottle shop.

^ That's awesome. Do you permanently reside in Germany or there for business?
I was tempted by a friend into buying these sours. They came in a pack, otherwise they wouldve been too expensive for me. There were pretty good.
