Can’t remember when I last had a Busch brand of beer. Think it was around 1998.

The natural law of the free market does not apply in fascism. We now have fascism and this corporation is going to give it a test drive. The intimidation market... It is buddies with the labor unions’ worker intimidation market.

mmmm mmmm mmmm, Barack Hussien Obama, mmm mmm mmm

Don't mean to leave the Rinos out of the fascist equation.

At the same time, Bud has urged 500 wholesalers to distribute fewer rival beers, warning that it will act against those who don't.

Sounds like an antitrust lawsuit in the making.

Last week in St. Louis with a customer, I ordered a Miller.

The waitress asked, “Where you from, hun ?”

That is very common in the alcohol market. So common it isn't even remarked on. The growth of the micro brews has been in spite of this.

“If you don’t drink Bud Light.....F You!”

Pretty close to Schlitz' "Drink Schlitz or I'll kill you" ads. Pretty much put them out of business.

AnBush before InBev ‘leaned’ on distributors for years to keep craft brews out of package stores and customer’s hands. Go watch “Beer Wars” on Netflix for a view into how the big 3 (documentary made before InBev’s purchase,) play.

I haven’t had a Bud in decades. I refuse to drink anything “Lite.” I am amazed when I walk into a saloon and see a bunch of tough-looking dudes drinking that sissy beer. I cut my teeth on San Magoo out in the PI 50 years ago. The only stateside beer I liked was Stroh’s, and that went out of business years ago. If I HAVE to drink American beer, it’ll be Sam Adams or Yeungling. Beer of choice when merlot is too expensive: Stella Artois.

"but shipments have fallen for three straight years, thanks to the growing popularity of small, independent craft brewers."

Translation: America no longer settles for Warm Monkey piss now that there are companies bottling some decent beers here in America.

I spent a week up in Vermont a few summers ago and discovered Long Trail ale.
Brewed in Vermont it’s on tap at just about any watering hole in the states of VT and NH.

It’s now become my favorite beer for the momment.
I’m really liking the Long Trail Double Bag brew, got twice the alcohol. :)

I am ashamed to say that I drank a regular bud in a can for the first time in about 20 years and I liked it. It is pretty good beer all in all.
