Anheuser-Busch InBev — purveyor of the president’s preferred brew, Bud Light — and MillerCoors, a joint venture between SABMiller andMolson Coors, are raising prices at the same time, during a recession and while beer demand is slumping. With 80 percent of the market between them, the move almost begs for an antitrust review.is not good news. Not that anyone should be drinking the damn foreign beer the corporate entities advertise to us non-stop. Foreign? You better believe it! South African Brewing-Miller, Molson (Canada) Coors, & AnheuserBuschInBev (InBev is Belgian). 80% of the Yankee pig beer market is in the hands of foreigners. Foreigners wise enough to keep feeding Americans the piss-colored water w/ alcohol content they've been trained to love, & keeping their own more tolerable brews to themselves.
Seriously, if we were a patriot, we'd be one hell of a lot more worried about The Other getting their hands on 80% of our precious American beer market than any socialized health care bullshit.
Amen! Yeah, when I first heard that foreign companies were buying up major American breweries, I almost revolted. Just me, a pitchfork and some ol' fashioned, acid-induced rage. I mean, what's next, you know? Big Macs made in Canada? Taco Bell burritos made in Mexico? No thanks. Not in MY America.
