Oh, no -- not BUDWEISER!
Egads! The company that makes my favorite beer may be taken over by a Belgian brewer!
And sales are down 1.4 percent this year!
I'm sorry, Mr. August Busch IV -- I'm drinking as much Bud Light as I can!
How can we allow this timeless icon of America be sold off to the makers of (gasp!) Stella Artois?
Forget the war, the budget, crime and poverty -- the is BEER we're talking about. To the ramparts!

If the name San Francisco didn't say it enough, I can tell a pussy liberal wrote this as soon as they started crying about the war. Waaaa Waaaa Waaaa. Pussy liberal.

This is nothing new. South African Breweries bought out Miller, who'd previously bought out every small brand beer they could find. inBev has been on a buying spree for years in Eastern Europe, China, and South America.
One benefit is that now you can in fact get Stella Artois in the US - you could not up until a few years ago. And since Anheuser started inking distro deals with microbreweries (as has SAB/Miller), this may mean you'll be able to buy a Redhook more or less anywhere in the world.
Plus it may mean the end of tyrannical AB's attacks on the Budvar brewery, whom they stole the name "budweiser" from, and forced it to be called Czechvar in the US. sucks to be a bully.

Israel Jones wins the "Douchebag of the Week" title for not bothering to read the post before going out of his mind with partisan rage at "pussy liberals." Tim's a radical. We're not sure where the pussy liberals are, but thanks for stopping by, Israel.

I think nudism is just natural and I think it's horrible that it's so frowned apoun, hidden, and outlawed in the majority of places.
I am always naked when I can be and when I can be is only when I’m alone in my room. My family doesn't allow it in the rest of the house and the law doesn't allow it outside. I think it has nothing to do with sex, when naturists want to appear more sexual they change the way they are acting and you view them in a whole different way. Imagine a place like naturistmingle.com where you can Get Away from it all. Relax and Unwind in a Serene Setting and Have Fun!

Budweiser is owned by Cindy McCain. Cindy McCain funds John McCain. Budweiser = Republican.

I'm glad Claudia injected nudity into this discussion. I've found that nudity always goes well with beer.
