Budweiser no longer American

[WRS77]

Just wondering what all the rest of you thought about this. I know it doesn't make me happy to see another great American Icon sold to an overseas buyer. Starting to fear that some day America will no longer be American. More and more companies selling out and taking off. I have to say I will be switching brands to try to keep my money here in the states.

I will still drink Busch Light. If I had to run scared and buy everything American, my life would be a lot tougher than it is. I'm a business man and I understand the economics of the sale. No big deal to me...

Anheuser-Busch is a public company, we don't know what all nationalities owned the stock. INBEV is a public company and I'm sure some Americans own stock. It's really hard to attribute most large public businesses to any one country. As long as the breweries are in this country most of the money will stay here.

Anyways the stockholders now have $52 billion (about 30% more then the A-B stock was worth a year ago) to invest in other companies, either here or abroad. Oh, and pay a whole lot of capital gains taxes!

In 2003, Coors was the third largest producer of beer in the United States, and the second largest brewer in the United Kingdom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom) through its subsidiary, Coors Brewers Limited. There it controls the UK’s most popular brew, Carling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carling), as the result of that brand's merger with Canadian brewer Molson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molson) in 1989.
On July 22 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_22), 2004 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004) the company announced it would be merging with Molson. The merger was completed February 9 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_9), 2005 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005) and the merged company is called Molson Coors Brewing Company (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molson_Coors_Brewing_Company).

Per their website, and I don't drink coors....but............MillerCoors grew from the dreams of two German entrepreneurs who came to America in the mid-19th century.

Miller Brewing Company began when a determined young brewer, Frederick J. Miller, brought his passion for beer to the United States. Miller settled in Milwaukee, where in 1855 he bought the Plank Road Brewery and made his first delicious beer, using yeast that he had carried with him all the way from Europe.

Coors Brewing Company tapped its first barrel in 1873, when Adolph Coors opened The Golden Brewery in Colorado. Coors was born in Prussia and apprenticed at a brewery in his teens. With characteristic spirit, he stowed away on a ship to get to America and bring his brewing dream to life.

Both companies had the good luck to be formed from the visions of remarkable businessmen who also happened to be remarkable human beings. Both had the good fortune to have family members carry on the work and legacy of founders. Both enterprises survived Prohibition and two world wars, when brewing materials were scarce and hundreds of other brewers failed to survive. Our founding companies built their success barrel by barrel.

At MillerCoors, we now begin our own history. We have two wonderful traditions. And now, our talents, energies and ingenuity come together to form one promising company.


MillerCoors operates eight major breweries in the U.S., as well as the Leinenkugel’s craft brewery in Chippewa Falls, WI and two microbreweries, the Leinenkugel’s 10th Street Brewery in Milwaukee and the Blue Moon Brewing Company at Coors Field in Denver.

[HeartLunger]

It's good to see that American beers are going back to the traditional ways of European brews. Bring on the tradition!!!

[Redhunter1012]

I like Busch Lite, and Natty lite. But for a good beer that is All American, can't go wrong with Sam Adams.

[Thunderflight]

I will still drink Busch Light. If I had to run scared and buy everything American, my life would be a lot tougher than it is. I'm a business man and I understand the economics of the sale. No big deal to me...
:yeahthat: Except I'll take a Michelob Ultra.

[jackalope]

America has never made "beer" (except some Micro brews) with that being said, I drink Coors as my everyday.. But I do own and drink tons of foreign beers.. I have drank a many a many of beers to have a short list of what I consider the best in class.. If you enjoy a particular type of beer Dark, Pilsner, Hefe I included a list of the best i have found below... Try it out you will not be disappointed.

Ale--- a Tarppis Monk brew Chimay Red a belgian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimay_Brewery)
White Wheat --- Hoegaarden a Belgian or as the Germans call it a Hefeweizen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoegaarden_Brewery)
German dark (Dunkel ) --- Warsteiner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsteiner) Dunkel
Pilsner --- Warsteiner Premium Verum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsteiner)
Red Beer --- or a Malt Red East Extra (http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/krasniy-vostok-krepkoe-(red-east-extra)/53754/)a Russian brew not the greatest but fair is fair for types.. It is after all a damn Malt....

burger beer...:D

[XX78]

I used to work in several bars while in college and beyond. I have had the privledge to have tried hundreds of different types of beer. I now am loyal to PBR and Genny Cream Ale!

[rackman]

Coors and Miller are ownned by SAB South African Breweries so you better do your homework if you want an american owned brewery. Bud may have ben bought but they are still brewed here in ohio. The buyout is not complete and may take a great deal of time. I work for a AB distributor and we have been told nothing will change except the big boys in the front office. It would be hard to spend BILLIONS and try to fix something that is not broke. No matter what it is still brewed here in ohio. You cant say that about Miller and Coors!

PBR is still with us... A great beer if you ask me.. It disappeared for much of the 90s but it came back in like 2000.. Heck even the speedway down the road sells it.

[coonskinner]

i hate to see this dope stuff on an archery forum...:nono:

[XX78]

I drank a few PBR lights last night!

[tightline]

As long as they dont change anything and sissy it up,I will still drink my Bud Light.

Blue moon in my opinion is a Hefeweizen knockoff made by coors... Beer isn’t supposed to have fruit in it like Orange as the acidity of the fruit will sour the beer... Thats done just to sell beer in bars, and is a marketing gimmick.

The next time your at the package store pick her up a sixer of a beer called Hoegaarden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoegaarden_Brewery) It's a Belgian White wheat just like Blue Moon except it's like it's supposed to be.... I can't stand Blue Moon, way too much orange and skunky... Now Hoegaarden I like....
