" Red Stripe is no longer alone in getting flack for misleading customers: Beck&amp;#039;s was recently slapped with a lawsuit for labeling its brews as &amp;quot;authentic German pilsner&amp;quot; when the suds are actually made in St. Louis. After a U.S. magistrate judge in Miami ruled that Beck&amp;#039;s\u00A0was duping American imbibers, the brand&amp;#039;s parent company, Anheuser-Busch, has come to a $20 million settlement on the case, according to Fortune. As a result, an estimated 1.7 million households could qualify for a chunk of that payout. \u00A0 Beck&amp;#039;s has a signature look: hunter green, red and white label with bold black lines. And while the company moved production from Germany to St. Louis back in 2012, the beer&amp;#039;s packaging still boasts that it &amp;quot;originated in Bremen, Germany&amp;quot; and that it is &amp;quot;German Quality&amp;quot; beer\u2014ultimately leading consumers to believe that the affordable\u00A0beer is still a legit brew from Deutschland.\u00A0In order to find the country of origin, you&amp;#039;d have to flip a 12-pack upside down.\u00A0The brewer has since begun adding fine print to bottles and cans that reads &amp;quot;product of USA.&amp;quot; All of this essentially means that, if you drank Beck&amp;#039;s from May 2011 on, you could be entitled to $50. To get your money, you should act fast. Consumers can only claim their refunds online until next month. Using your receipts, you can claim up to $50. If you aren&amp;#039;t crazy organized and don&amp;#039;t have the receipts for every beer purchase you ever made, you can still get as much as $12: Apparently each bottle equals 10 cents you can get in return, but each six pack is 50 cents, and a 20-pack is $1.75. So start stacking those bottles and counting caps. Follow Delish on Instagram. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
