As for the buy-out of Anheuser-Busch… I’m disheartened. Personally, having been to the St. Louis brewery on numerous occasions and seeing the pride Anheuser-Busch has put into their grounds, tours, and beer it’s a shame to think that it may soon be run down such as Miller’s facilities. Even if the same workers are present… the glue that holds a company together is management.

As for the comment on the quality of American beer… we like it this way. I can’t tell you how many times a friend has persuaded me to try a foreign beer leaving me gagging with a mouth full of bitterness and aftertaste that can only be described as skunk-brew.

When beer or wine are enjoyed moderately, they can be very beneficail to your health. Look at the French and the Germans, they consume more wine and beer per person than us Americans, yet they have longer life expectancies.

Odd don’t you think. A very small minded view that you have, and not very well researched. Granted there are other factors in their living longer, but I wouldn’t say that cutting out alcohol would make them live longer.

All I can hope for is for the new owners (if sold) will continue to put much of their efforts into conservation as Anheuser-Busch did.

I just know there are going to be a host of people that are too ‘patriotic’ to drink beer if it’s owned by a foreign country. They don’t seem to realize that the jobs are still held by people of their own country. Oh well.
