I lob Bud-Heavy into the same category as Miller High Life, Pabst, Natural Light, etc. I could care less that the masses like the "pepsi of beers," what has the masses ever done that was exercised some type of taste or class. I live in East Tennessee, deep in Nascar/Budweiser/Jack Daniels (yippy!)/BBQ country and I can attest that our population consumes a significant portion of that Budweiser stock. However...they also like mullets and wife-beaters which I can't understand either.

When some Euro starts eyeballing a cheap, watered-down beer company in America it can only make it better. I feel horrible if they export the jobs overseas, I can completely relate to that (I work in the marine industry and have been seeing the mass-layoffs), but it's a business and Budweiser will only be better for this.

As long as they leave Boston Beer Co. alone I'll be content.

What I found funny was the All-Star Game/Home Run Derby the other night...did you all catch that? Budweiser must have fronted some serious coin for it...all you saw behind the batter and in the outfield was "The American Lager - Budweiser" haha
