Message: [QUOTE="Orangejet, post: 1652602, member: 3003"] What a great thread! There is more passion when people talk about what kind of beer they enjoy than any other consumer product out there. You can go into any bar in any state and ask the customers what kind of cereal they eat, what kind of toothpaste they use or what do they like better, hamburgers or steak, you may get a response from one or two individuals. When you ask them what kind of beer they like, everyone chimes in and emphatically talks about beer and what their grandparents drank in the day. It is truly amazing and something I will never forget. Please keep in mind that everyone has favorite brews and when you work in the industry, you respect that to the max. You will never see a beerman talk down another beer but they may say one is too hoppy, light or bitter but they always respect what someone else has brewed. Regarding Anheuser-Busch InBev...company is the global leader in beer and in the top 5 for consumer products in the world. In the US, AB has 12 breweries with one in Baldwinsville, NY and site where most of AB's innovation brews are made, along with Goose Island 312. Company has a High End Division that currently has eight craft breweries and more to follow which include: Goose Island (Chicago - Bourbon County Stout rated 100% by Beer Advocate), Blue Point (Long Island, NY - Toasted Lager is very good), Elysian (Seattle - AWESOME brews), 10 Barrel (OR - Super Hoppy IPA's), Four Peaks (AZ), Golden Road (CA), Breckenridge Brewing (CO - Vanilla Stout is excellent) and Virtue Cider (MI). All craft breweries are still run by the original brewers and have their own HE sales force selling their brews. AB mainly provides capital to increase their brewing capacity and obtain better ingredients with most of these beers being sold regionally. As far as imports are concerned, the main beers are Stella Artois, Hoegaarden, Leffe, Corona or Grupo Modelo brands (not in US), Spaten, Franziskaner, Beck's, Boddington, Tennets, Skol, Brahma and hundreds from many other countries that are not sold in the US. Please enjoy whatever brew you drink and cheers to the Orange and Dinoball! BTW - If ever in Chicago, look me up and we can take a Goose Island brewery tour which is always a stumbling blast!
