It is a real shame. You could not even talk hydroplanes without naming Miss Budwiser. I vote for Labatt's as a replacement.

Well, sad to see but not unexpected with Inbev's past history. I think we discussed it when the news came out about the acquisition that this was likely to happen.

Yep,
When IN-Bev bought AB, I switched to Miller lite awhile back, but now I'm hearing that they are foreign owned also? not that I drink that much anymore anyway....Is there any American owned BEER CO's anymore?

Pabst is the largest US. owned brewery, but Miller makes most of the beer for them.

New favorite beer

Yingling claims to be the oldest brewery in the US. I like their beer, even if the name sounds furun. If they would just sponsor a boat, I'd make them the new official bear of Tuckered Tiger Racing.
