That's funny that Joe 6 Pack thinks foreign ownership of Budweiser won't affect their Company..... he obviously has never been in the south where those Rednecks are so loyal to NASCAR, BUD, Marlboro and the the USA! If they find out it is owned by Belgiums/Brazilians they will look for something else. The problem is there are no other major US owned Breweries anymore excpet Budweiser..... and Yuengling!...

Been a while since I've mentioned the great train station bar, Bridgewaters at 30th Street Station in Philadelphia. Joe Sixpack reminded me when he posted The Khyber's tap list and how amazing he found it. Similarly, imagine walking to/from the train and stumbling across this tap list. When you need a beverage to go with your Llama meatballs, Gator Bites, Yak & Goat Burger or Cajun Catfish,...

: "Calling on the press to protect the common man from the potential corruptions of satire is a strange, paternalistic assignment for any journalist to give his peers, but that appears to be what The New Yorker's detractors desire. I don't know whether to be crushed by that realization or elated by the notion that one of the most elite journals in the land has faith that Joe Sixpack can figure...

John McCain appeals to Joe Sixpack: I didn’t know he cared. I just got an email invitation to the swanky Hamptons beach area on the east end of Long Island to a cocktail reception and/or a dinner. The reception is $2300 and I can attend both for “only” $28,000. Gee, I didn’t know McCain thought that [...]

Wonk, wonk, waaaaah. Here's a few links for my fellow policy nerds out there. Philadelphia Bicycle News goes ga-ga over the Streets Department's new online street defect reporting tools . My response... who designs the city's websites? If our tax dollars are going to pay for municipal websites that look like that when any Joe Sixpack can design a nice looking, easy to use blog for free... Speaking...

... US beer market is enormously profitable and wide open to strong price competition. With Joe SixPack paying $100 to gas up his pickup he might be very willing to switch to Coors or Miller if the price were right.The outcome in St. Louis now looks like a foregone conclusion, but either way InBev will one day rule the market. It’s a wonderful time to short BUD since it will never be higher....
