Well, I am not surprised. With Craft Brewers as they are now, American beer is in good hands, just consider this a good reason to give up commercial beer altogether.

The weak dollar had a hand in this as well. The euro is so strong they bought it for 30% less because the drop in the dollar!

It is a great thing that inbev got such a great deal buying budwiser, but the simple fact of the matter is I’m drinking Coor’s light from now on! It’s not bad, I know a lotta people who drink it; and swear by it. In my opinion Coors light is going to be the nest great brewing company of America. I will never buy another Anheuser-Busch beer again-Thanks again Anheuser busch for selling a great American company to the highest bidder.
