16. Legally, Budweiser cant be sold as beer in Germany
German beer purity law of 1615 says that beer can only be brewed with four ingredients - barley, hops, yeast, and water. Any substitution (like rice, which Budweiser uses) means that the beer cannot be sold as beer in Germany. So when the world cup is in Germany, that means that Budweiser, which is the official sponsor of World Cup, wont be able to sell their "beer" there.
