Gone! I still drink Coors!

Anheuser Busch InBev has a certain ring to it. I think they(AB) have a big say on who sits in the board room as well. Blame it on a weak dollar otherwise this deal never happens.

Yep, but they merged with Miller and will likely be moving their headquarters to a foreign country such as Chicago.

I've drank my last Miller, won't be buying any more.

Really couldn't care less where my beer is made or who runs the company. I drink for the taste, not the politics. It's beer, for crying out loud...

I guess I've drunk my last Bud. (Waves a fond farewill.) Could switch to MIller, but they're owned by a South African company.

Gonna have to clue my favorite bar in that it'll be Labatts Blue from now on. Yeah, I know they're Canadian, but at least they're close byand it's good beer, unlike some of that funky tasting European stuff.

"Stella Artois." (Picture a grown man gagging like a child being forced to eaf liver.)

Not a butwiper man anyway. Labatts Blue works for me too.

It's good stuff. Just as good as Pilsner Urquell.
