Companies love to cash in on American patriotism. Last week, Anheuser-Busch said it will repackage Budweiser cans with the label "America" from May 23 through November's election season.

Now, Michigan's Saugatuck Brewing Company is poking fun at Anheuser-Busch's flag-waving campaign with one of its own.

"We're here to make beer named after America great again," Saugatuck Brewing Company posted on Facebook on Wednesday. "We're very proud to introduce our brand new name and packaging, along with the assurance that all of our beer is brewed under the careful watch of 1,776 bald eagles."

"This ensures that every drop of our beer is as true and honest as our forefathers before us," Saugatuck Brewing Company added. "Unlike other 'America' beers, our brewery is completely American owned. What does it taste like, you ask? Freedom. It tastes like Freedom. Drink American, drink Saugatuck Brewing Company."
