Drinkers of Budweiser - marketed as the "King of Beers" - are taking the company to court over allegations the popular American lager is watered down to boost profits.
A lawsuit, filed in California, accuses Anheuser-Busch of violating consumer protection laws in the state and in Missouri by "falsely representing the alcohol content of the products it sells".
It demands unspecified "compensatory damages" for anyone in the United States who has bought Budweiser products in the past five years.
The legal action - said to be based on allegations made by staff and former brewery workers - was flatly rejected by the company which is also understood to be facing similar claims in other US states.
