Jeez, you’re still drinking stuff from the big brewers?

80% of beer sales come from the same two corporate daddies, due to Bush’s lax enforcement of anti-monopoly laws. Obama looks to be a good bit stronger in support of the free market with his recent opposition to yet another merger (the complete buyout of Corona). Not saying it’s great beer, but it’s to no one’s interest except the owners’ to permit monopolies.

All the more reason to drink good beer instead.

Amazing to me that with the high quality beer now widely available in almost every market in North America that people still drink that mass-produced crap.

Or maybe they need cleaner glasses.

The US has sued to stop the sale of Corona to Budweiser.Don’t know how it came out yet.

It doesn’t matter the brand, it all comes out pee in the end, anyway.

“My compliments to the horse”., said one wittier than I.

I’ve never tasted piss, but it can’t be any worse than beer.

There is never a “slight” aroma of Iron City. If its there you know

Microbrews will take off !

Monopoly and “mass production” does lead to uniformity, though usually, not quality. That doesn’t have to be the case, just as “Institutional” food, serving large numbers doesn’t have to be bad, but usually is.

The the leap to urine analogy does bring up the question of how bad cooks can also turn raw product into “end product” without passing it through the body.

Me, I prefer Old Frothingschloss, the Pale Stale Ale with the foam on the bottom.

Brewers not, chemists more like.

I like the little private breweries! What is going to happen? Being like take over?

Picked up a “Periodic Table of Beer Styles” and my life is far better. There are just way too many good beers out there to drink Bud – from Polygamy Porter to Left Hand’s Milk Stout to Shiner’s Wild Hare and a good Lawnmower from St Arnold’s.

“Hopfen und Malz;Gott erhalt’s!” – they say. But Ihad some Beck’s in Berlin in 1960…Nasty stuff!
