Stop crying! All you would have needed to do was come up with $52,000,000,001.00 and it was yours. Just think, BIGAL'SWEISER, it goes DOWN easy but tastes like ****! :toast:

But you are right Steve, when it is hot I like other drinks. A good margarita, some of the Mikes Hard flavors. Sunday night we went to on the border and i had one of those big ass frozen swirl things. It's like an adult slurpee. LOL

Yeah, you can't go wrong with a Guiness either! The only trouble is you feel like you weigh a ton after drinking a few during the summer. ;) Mike's Lemonade is goooood stuff, goes down way too easy. I think I'm gonna have to hit up the store tomorrow on the way back from the beach, so I can have some good drinks while I'm BBQing dinner!

With Coors, Miller and now Bud being owned by foreign conglomerates, that makes Pabst Brewing Co. the largest American-owned beer company (they own PBR, Schlitz, Ballantine, etc.). But what's interesting is Pabst doesn't operate any breweries anymore. They outsource all their production to Miller.

Speaking of this, did anyone see the episode of the Colbert Report where Steve Colbert talked about this? I thought it was quite amusing.

Pabst doesnt own any breweries anymore? Did anybody see that special on Discovery channel I think it was maybe last summer where they went to the old Pabst brewery and toured it. It was pretty damn cool looking. I forget what show that was, they just went around to old abandoned places and filmed it and talked about the history.

How about some KNICKERBOCKER? Try to find some of those bottles around. Interesting New York beer. Or Miller HighLife!

Pabst closed their last brewery in 2001. There's an old Pabst brewery in Newark that closed a long time ago. It had the big beer bottle on the roof. Sucks I missed that special though. Would be cool to see.

And it figures that Pabst owns all of the crap US beers (seeing as how it's the only big US beer manufacturer left).
Here's some of their list
Pabst Blue Ribbon
Schafer
Black Label
Colt 45
Schmidt
Old Milwaukee
Schlitz
Ballentine
Piels
Stroh's
:shock:
Although I actually like Black Label. A fantastic Beer Pong beer @ 10.90 a case and it actually tastes decent.

Actually, Pabst just reintroduced Schlitz's classic 1960s formula in the brown bottles, which is how Schlitz was made when it was a #1 selling beer. It's supposed to be more full-bodied than what we currently get in the cans. They've only introduced it in Chicago, Milwaukee, and I think Minneapolis so far. But it's selling like liquid gold, bars and stores can't keep it in stock.

Well, that's cool news. I'll have to keep an eye out.

InBev also owns Stella Artois. Maybe they can show Bud how to make a beer that doesn't taste like pi$$.
