As a Canadian, I find that Samuel Adams rocks. Busch is freaking terrible, though.

Goodbye and good riddance.

"Rich" hardly described the taste of Budweiser. It always just tasted like old, shitty watter with a really high mineral content to me. Sam Adams, *there's* a good brew. Guinness too- some people may not like the flavor, but at least  it *has* a flavor.

Very well said, hopefully the Belgians will use their brewing expertise to modify the formulas of the "watered down" beer family and Anheuser-Busch will make some quality brews for once.

I bet president Bush will step in. Probably that hick's favorite beer.

Plus, that's just wrong. It's selling an American icon to the Germans. Why don't they just go ahead and sell the Statue of Liberty, hot dogs, hamburgers, baseball and football to the Germans.

BTW: Anyone else find it strange that some of the most popular "American" foods came from the Germans? Hamburgers = German. Hot Dogs = German.

It's going to be a saaaddd day for a lot of NASCAR fans.

Eh, Belgians are just Germans with a different name.

German is a hard nationality to define because it's spoken in so many countries and so many of those people would identify themselves as some sort of German. Sure, it may be Swiss-German or Belgian-German, but it's still German in my eyes.
