Oh, :mad2:
I Love Amber!!!!!!

Reports that the company might be purchased by brewer InBev of Belgium have beer drinkers worried WE might lose a company as closely identified with .... WHAT????

Anheuser-Busch has been struggling along with other brewers in recent years as consumers have turned to cocktails, wines and craft beers.
Rising ingredient costs have further pinched profits.
Other big brewers are consolidating to compete. Miller Brewing, the second-largest U.S. beer-maker, and No. 3 Molson Coors Brewing are planning to combine U.S. operations by midsummer.

Wow. In some kind of a crunch I guess, pressure from microbrewers

I dont like Michelob products anyway, typically too sweet for me.

I'm a dedicated Miller high Life drinker. Which i did order a miller high life suicide knob last. This kinda saddens me, well as long as there is still plenty of the high life to drink i'll be happy.

Yeah. I didn't know people still drank Bud. I know that stuff hogs up a lot of shelf space at the store and it just sits there.

Most people I know drink Miller and micro beers. I like Molsen Canadian, Miller High Life Lite, Yengling (sp), Sam Adams and Sierra Nevada to name a few.

Honestly, I used to drink Amber Buck hanging around in kansas, because it looked like German, but why they put in it rise? and tooo sweeet.
Now I switched to Coors light- cheaper and not so heavy.

In Hooters I can get 3 Ambers or 6 Coors- before calling taxi.

Back in the day, my Father used to drink Pabst Blue Ribbon, Schlitz, Hamms, National Bohemian and Black Label (black and red tin can) because THAT was on the shelf.

Bud isn't going anywhere. I think people got tired of the yeasty taste of the stuff and moved on to something else. My "cracker" neighbors still drink it....:weird:
