Michigan craft brewery one-ups Budweiser with its own 'USA' beer

It looks like "America" won't be the only patriotic beer we'll be drinking this summer. CBS Detroit reports that a Michigan craft beer company is responding to Budweiser's forthcoming beer adaptation with its own version: 'Murica.
Vowing to restore the honor of U.S.-branded beer, the Saugatuck Brewing Company cheekily stated on its Facebook page that its new beer will be brewed "under the careful watch of 1,776 bald eagles" and will, of course, "taste like Freedom."
That's a pretty hefty commitment to make. Your move, Budweiser.
