Fuck you INBEV, fuck you. Its the little things like this that are the reason the Busch family legacy in STL is now shit. Take your money and get the hell out of town. I don't begrudge you your business decisions or making of money. You made a choice to trade your status as the kings of St. Louis for shiny rocks. Take your shiny rocks and get the hell out of town. We don't want you here pretending...
SABMiller head Graham Mackay had a major interview in The Times yesterday. This is the man who told us the craft beer surge would fade: "It's inevitable." And after almost every beer blogger and beer website forum denizen had at him, he passed from their consciousness. He's big beer, after all. Mackay is one of the brightest people in the business, a business that is filled with very bright...
FENTON, Mo. | Even though they played the better part of the game a man down due to a first-half ejection, the Park Hill soccer team salvaged a 1-1 tie with Hickman on Saturday afternoon in the Missouri Class 3 third-place game at Anheuser-Busch Center in suburban St. Louis. “I’m very proud of my team and the way we played, especially in the second half,” Trojans coach...

This time from the Business of Big Beer. Jeremiah McWilliams of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch writes about the possibility AB InBev could damage the Budweiser and Bud Light brands with line extensions, in the latter case Bud Light Lime and now Bud Light Wheat. . . . critics argue that Anheuser-Busch’s line extensions may encourage [...]
Here we go. 9. Firestone - Oaktoberfest . This was a good beer. I am a sucker for Oktoberfests , and I loved this one. I know I liked it, and I remember it had a more hop style to it that I expect. With that said, I would buy it again. Well, if I could buy it, I would. Grade: 3.5 Burps. Honestly, I've never been a fan of Firestone. I figured it was the tire company or the guy from The Bachelor making...

The Food and Drug Administration is threatening to ban alcoholic beverages that contain caffeine, saying the combination has not been proven safe. No kidding. Since no one thinks that adding caffeine to alcohol eliminates the latter's inherent hazards, it seems unlikely that manufacturers will be able to satisfy the FDA's demand for "clear evidence of safety." Within 30 days, no less. So...

Others have linked already to the Seventh Circuit's decision (per Judge Sykes) in United States v. Skoien, but it really bears close reading by anybody interested in substantive Second Amendment doctrine. The court determines that intermediate scrutiny applies, and then sends the whole case back to the district court for a second try, with a bit of a nudge: Intermediate scrutiny tolerates laws that...
From $50 bamboo T-shirts to environmental coloring books handed out by petroleum companies, greenwashing continues to be high on my list of "Things That Make Me Want To Rip My Hair Out and Then Go Do Worse to the People Responsible." The worst part, of course, is that it's often not easy to know when your green is coming to you heavily laundered. ClimateCount is an organization that's trying...
Beer rules wine -- not in taste, but in distribution and regulation. The documentary "Beer Wars" got me to thinking about this. It's not a great movie: director Anat Baron is allergic to alcohol and thinks she knows craft beer because she was general manager of Mike's Hard Lemonade (only in this film are those two italicized phrases used in the same sentence.) This is why she wastes lots...
Busch Anheuser-Busch, Inc. St. Louis, MO Hey Corntooth, get out ya micro macro tastebuds because we're bringing wetness to Dry County, KY USA. I had to drive 10 miles of rural Kentucky highway back into the center of some Tennessee farm town to get a Busch tallboy because I was in a teetoling town/county. From those slim pickins chances I had opportunity to get a Modelo or a Clamato Bud Light but chose...

Inbev, a Belgian brewing company currently has an offer on the table to take over Anheuser-Busch at $70 per share or $50 billion dollars. There probably aren't that many more companies that are more "American" than Anheuser-Busch (BUD), the maker of Budweiser and it would be a shame to see it fall into foreign ownership. As mind numbing as the $50 billion price tag sounds, if the deal goes through,...
