InBev buying Anheuser-Busch for $52 billion

[GePap]

InBev's list of brands is quite impressive in size, some good, some crap. They could help in expanding the Michelob brand though, which isn't bad at all.

If by "not bad" you mean, "tastes like spoiled water", then sure.

No, I mean, very enjoyable and drinkable even by beer snobs like myself.

Hey, at least they balked at the 1st offer to get more money.

ImBev buying Anheuser-Busch is one of the best things to ever happen to that ****hole St. Louis. Let's hope ImBev does what it always does, and downsizes a lot of those ****ers off.

How do you ****ING FIGURE? ST LOUIS WAS BUDWEISER NOW BELGIUM WILL TAKE IT AWAY. HOW IS THIS GOOD FOR ST LOUIS OH I GET IT --- THERES LOTS OF BLACK PEOPLE IN ST LOUIS AND YOU WANT TO SEE THEM STARVE LIKE ON JOHNNY CARSON. Get this racist ****er banned. ST LOUIS has the arch and low smog levels, it is a shining example of ingenuity in the American city, there is also decent jazz and Mardis Gras festivals. What culture does Chicago have but not for the Cubs and the mafia? OH NOES I INSULTED TEH MAFIA!!111 Go steal someone's subwoofer from a car park and act all hardass, your name is Mrs Snuggles and you probably have never worked a day in your life. I bet you've never been in a city with low cash and so have never even HAD BEER. COWARD

Admittedly, the one and only time I've had Michelob was an unopened, but warm bottle that had been sitting out in the sun all day.

It was vile, but I don't know if any other beers would have tasted good served like that.

Unfortunately, I can't bring myself to drink Michelob ever again because of that experience.

It's good for St. Louis, because those thieving mother****ers who stole 1904 from Chicago deserve to have their hopes and dreams crushed by some foreign power. Karma's a ****ing *****, ain't it?

Take something Chicago deserves, and then do a piss-poor job of it? Go InBev! Go **** St. Louis over, you crazy, disgusting, magnificent Walloonian Bastards!

St. Louis has an arch. Whoop-de-****ing-do. It didn't invent the stuffed pizza, or italian beef, or the skyscraper. It doesn't host a school that developed the atomic bomb. It's prime flyover territory, whose only claim to fame was that the westward-bound settlers needed someplace to go to remind them why the **** they were moving out west. They'd see that ****hole of a city and think, "Ugh, St. Louis? Get me out of here. If I had to stay there, I'd rather gut myself with a rusted spork."

**** St. Louis. I hope it burns like LA in Demolition Man or Detroit in Robocop or California 7 months out of the year. They deserve to be downsized.

As far as drinking beer, I do. But I do like the fruity drinks more.

well, beer from a can is generally a mistake.

If you ever see Michelob Amber on tap, I think it would be worth your try.

Guinness extra stout is good but the Guinness Draught sucks.

Yeah, aluminum leaves a taste in the beer because beer is slightly acidic and leaches part of the aluminum way. Dark bottles or (better yet) a keg are best.

As for Michelob Amber... It's better then the regular AB swill but they try to market it as a premium beer and at that price I'd rather have a real beer then anything from AB.

How the **** can you call yourself a beer snob and then sing the praises of Michelob?

It warms my heart to see an American icon swallowed up by a foreign company. Now you know how the rest of the world feels.
