So, Budweiser’s on the sales block, and the deal’s as good as done eh? Much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth by those who see this aquisition of an American icon by a Belgian company as a harbinger of American decline.
Horse puckey. We sell America to Middle Eastern terrorist backers to the tune of $50billion/year. What’s so hard about selling a company that makes their beers with a “unique filtration process” (water through horses?) to a company that makes skunky ales?
*yawn*
Just something for the twittering class to yammer about instead of dealing with real issues sanely.

I don’t mind drinking Budweiser now and then, although your description of the unique filtration process might just change my mind. 🙂
Personally, I don’t care who Budweiser gets sold to. It sounds like an ordinary business deal between companies and stockholders. It’s not like Anheuser-Busch is in the business of manufacturing vital products for national defense or something.
I much prefer drinking Sam Adam’s lager anyway.
I’ve actually not had any Sam Adams beer I didn’t like. Buds? I’d rather leave than take ’em, frankly. Better than drinking my own urine as a survival measure, but not by an order of mnagnitude, IMO. *heh*
And that’s keeping in mind my tolerance for slightly skunky beers. (What can I say? Brewers who make their beers–representative samples of Stella Artois, produced by the purchasers of A-B, spring readily to mind–by “milking” skunks at least have my respect for their fortitude :-))
hey there David…how bout the Chrysler Bldg being sold to Arabs..that ruffle any feathers? pfftt! 🙂
