An online digital media published a report of mixing of human piss in Budwiser beer went viral on Thursday. Going by the report of the news portal, an employee named Walter Powell (alias) revealed that he has been peeing inside the beer tanks for the last 12 years.
It further mentioned that Powell worked Budweiser Brewery Experience (Fort Collins, CO), and maintained that the production at other facilities remains untouched and free of urine. "It is like Russian roulette, sometimes when I am with my friends, and they ask for Budweiser, I blush and say to myself, poor guys".
Before knowing the fact about the news portal, Budweiser started trending on twitter with people sharing memes and trolling the liquor company. However, the news portal that published such claims lacks credibility. The only source for the claim is a website called Foolish Humour that churns out fake news for comedy purpose (similar to Faking News in India).

A Tweer That Makes Sense:
Budweiser hasn’t clarified anything on the report,but it can be assumed that the news is fake and is blown out of proportion since a website didn’t bother to fact check.
In 1876, German-born Adolphus Busch and his friend Carl Conrad developed a "Bohemian-style" lager (Budweiser), inspired after a trip to Bohemia and produced it in their brewery in St. Louis, Missouri. Over the years, Budweiser has become one of the largest-selling beers in the United States.
