AndWhosYourBusch? F'Bud!!

Screw mixed feelings. To hell with hostile takeovers. What has happened in the last 48 hours is nothing short of pure American.

I've been hearing all day long that AB sold out. The fact is Anheuser Busch sold out many years ago when they went public. That decision started a momentum that ended with the largest American owned brewery being bought by a foreign country.

Fine by me. And there is bud light in my fridge right now! Not a lot but a few......gotta make beer biscuits with something!

AB was muscle, and hopefully that will dissipate. Look at the government imposed rules and sanctions when it comes to branding and labeling. Breweries that produced beers with names like "homegrown hops" and "420 pale ale" were disallowed due to the marijuana slang.

But you can put "Bud" on 20 million cans a day without one word.

Fuck em. Good Riddance.

Don't for a second think this is a tragedy. If the shareholders wanted to stop it they could. The only people who couldn't do a thing was the AB family and those of us who arent shareholders.

Lesson learned. Don't sell out, that way you don't have your name ripped away from you later.

........... maybe we might even see a fresh bottle of Stella now.
