    Default The Great American Beer

    Is now a Belgium/Brazilian beer.

    To all you redneck Bud swilling fans. Will you still drink Bud now that they are foreign owned?

    I asked my red-neck brother in law what he thought about Bud being bought by a Belgium company. He asked me "Is Belgium in Illinois?"

    That bout says it all.....lol

    This means the Pabst Brewing company and Coors are the only major brewers who are American owned in the country. Miller is a South African company now.

    Samuel Addams is now the largest American beer manufacturer... pretty ironic if u ask me.
    Q: Senator Obama, would you take the same pledge? No tax increases on people under $250,000?

    OBAMA: I not only have pledged not to raise their taxes, I've been the first candidate in this race to specifically say I would cut their taxes.

    Sam Adams was a better beer when they were a smaller beer company. They used more hops in their Boston Ale and Boston Lager. They have backed off now to attract too many people in the unwashed section of the beer population. If you don't like hopes and heavily malted beers drink Coors.

    they should have just made another selection to please the paletes of the unwashed and left their originals alone.

    Try the alsakian brand if you have not already done so. They are really tasty beers.

    Coors is owned by Molson's.

    Nothing domestic is worthwhile anyway. Only NASCAR fans like tasteless beer.

    Oh I like water beer too.

    On a hot day a ice cold Coors light tastes good and makes it easy to maintain that slight buzz haze for hours.
