Clydesdales to be replaced by Belgians

OK, not really.


Anheuser-Busch sold for 50 billion dollars. According to Yahoo.

Time magazine has a article in last week's issue about how folks in St. Louis were trying to stop this buy-out. They fear the new cost-cutting owners will destroy the corporate/community culture it had.

Just doesn't seem right--but you have to note the irony of people who for years complained about bland American beer now rejecting a sale to a company who makes Stella A and other pretty good beer...

...that said, I at least hope they keep Bud Light with Lime--I've been liking that this summer.

Don't forget next year's All Star Game will be held at InBev Stadium.... right across the street from Lake Ballpark Village......

Sorry, I just had to have another evil laugh at the greedy Cardinals owners and stupid city officials.....

Yes, but it's a yeast culture.

No, but the German area of Bush Gardens in Williamsburg will be replaced by a Belgian one.

I don't care about the horses, I just want the watered down gnat's pee to be replaced by a beer with flavor.
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.

Contrarian view here:

I don't care about the beer, but I need those Clydesdales to stick around, because I need my Dalmatian commercials during every Super Bowl! What else is football for?

Let's try a compromise here.

SC gets to keep Anheuser-Busch and its Clydesdales and Rexer gets to drink a different brand that has real beer. 8)

Light beers are the only gnat's pee I know of. Regular Budweiser is real beer. And this is coming from an ex-beer drinker.

I hear they might be replaced by the nimble Belgian Blues.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

I have never been a big A/B drinker but I hate that they will no longer be an American company.

I hate that the Chrysler Building is owned now by Abu Dhabi. I suppose many landmark buildings are foreign owned, I just didn't realize it.
