Anheuser-Busch has agreed to settle a Beck’s class action lawsuit alleging they misrepresented to consumers that Beck’s beer is brewed in and imported from Germany. If you purchased Beck’s Pilsner, Beck’s Dark, Beck’s Light, and/or Beck’s Oktoberfest between May 1, 2011 and June 23, 2015, you may be entitled to a cash payment from the class action settlement.
Plaintiff Francisco Rene Marty filed the class action lawsuit, which alleges Anheuser-Busch engaged in deceptive marketing and charged premium prices for its Beck’s beer products by stating the product was “brewed in Germany” even though it was actually domestically brewed.
Anheuser-Busch denies all allegations of wrongdoing and maintains that its conduct was lawful. However, it has agreed to settle the Beck’s beer class action lawsuit to avoid the expense and risk of litigation.
In addition to providing cash benefits to Class Members who submit timely and valid claims, Anheuser-Busch has also agreed to modify its labeling to indicate the product is “Brewed in the USA”. The company also agreed to modify the back panel of the beers’ labels.
If you wish to exclude yourself from or object to the Beck’s beer class action settlement, you must do so no later than Nov. 20, 2015.

KTT taking all the money as the class action attorney. What a shock. Agreed. There should be a way to file class action lawsuits against the class action attorney firms that represent the plaintiff. This happens constantly.
