Yep, i acknowledged that fact in my post.  I'm sending a message.  Just like: I won't buy a GM product of any sort, even those made prior to the "Government Motors" era.  I wish every beer drinker in this country to do the same, until InBev buys ad time to distance themselves from Li'l Augie.

Augie didn't run the company, I think his uncle or dad was the last Busch CEO.

In Iowa cheap American beer is 5-6% and Microbrews are 5-6%.

I don't like the taste of many higher alcohol content beers, many are like licking the inside of a burned out coffee pot full of cigarette butts or directly chewing on a hop leaf covered in burnt grains.

Homebrew FTMFW.

I have made my share of homebrew. I like making high alcohol dunkelwiess and irish reds.

Still get a wicked hangover from over indulgence.

Cheap American beer and good scotch whiskey/scotch/bourbon makes for no or very weak hangover.

It was big news when the company sold in 2008. Its not InBev's fault that you didn't remember the news.

That would be like you boycotting the Browning brand name if you had an issue with the Mormon church.

Actually nothing messses with me in the morning like cheap crappy beer. 

Good beer, good scotch, good rum and good bourbon all work for me and leave me no morning after problems.  Tequila now?  That'll mess me up.

Also InBev sold off Busch Gardens theme parks/entertainment division a year after acquisition. So those are not part of the Busch Family fortune anymore either.

I sent them a very diplomatic request to divest themselves of his comments. In their reply they went to great lengths to say that his statement does not reflect on the views of the company. To thank them I bought a 30 of Bud on the way home.

Okay, guys, I get it.  In fact, I already had it... AND.  I.  Don't.  Care.   I'm still gonna lower my visor, socket my lance, and spur my steed on towards that windmill.  OUTTA MY WAY!
