Let's hope Uecker isn't part of the package.

Thats only for Usinger's.

I brew my own.

I don't like watery mass produced beer.

Guiness is about the only commercial beer I can tolerate but I like my ale a lot thicker.

On a positive financial twist, think of the Texas dollars flowing into Wisconsin.

Since Miller is merging with Coors and moving to Colorado, there is no money pouring into Wisconsin.

Really? How do we know this? I didn't realize they were moving to Colorado. Considering Miller Brewing has a bigger share of the market, is a bigger company, and is older I don't think the move to Colorado is going to happen. As of now the two companies are going to most likely move headquarters to a neutral city, most likely Chicago.

None of the Breweries are going to be closed, so all 17 people that actually work at the Brewery in Milwaukee will keep their jobs. It is going to be all middle management positions that are going to be cut.

We know this becuase Pete Coors, the CEO, already said so.

EDIT: Forget the above. No decision has been made but since Coors is taking in Miller it will probably be in Denver or Montrael, their co-HQ.

Seeing that it ranks slightly above potty water I wouldn't get too worked up.

We need a new brand. I know no one would have any ideas around here on a substitute...

Could also try New Glarus Brewing Co.

http://www.newglarusbrewing.com/Beers.cfm

Spotted Cow is their best. Classified as a farmhouse ale.

They also have a bunch of Weiss, Oktoberfest plus other fruit and seasonal beers.

Was going to recommend Leiny's but they are distributed by Miller.

Capital Brewery in Madison, WI is excellent. http://www.capital-brewery.com/ourbeers/index.html

I don't think we get that stuff out here. We do get Pete's Wicked and Dogfish Alehouse...

I am sticking with Miller, my wife's law firm has Miller as a client and at firm functions we drink Miller or nothing. Meaning if I want something else I have to pay. I am not paying.

Taking in Miller? What? Miller has a bigger share of the market, they are the bigger company? It is a 50% merger, each company will hold a 50% stake.

Some reading for ya,

Pete Coors is not going to be the CEO, Leo Kiely is, then it is going to be Miller President Tom Long after Kiely retires in a few years.

COWBOYS FANS WILL FUEL UP ON MILLER BEER
Posted by Mike Florio on May 26, 2008, 10:06 a.m.

As folks who attend Dallas Cowboys games attempt to comply with the NFL’s new fan conduct policy, they’ll have to resist the effects of Miller beer.

For the next 30 years.

According to SportsBusiness Journal, the Cowboys and Miller have entered into a three-decade sponsorship agreement, which will pay a whopping $8 million annually for the first ten years.

Hopefully, no one will be ejected as a result of brawls that break out with the respect to the epic “less filling, tastes great” debate.

Only a whacked liberal would think any form of capitalism is a bad thing.

They already sponsor the Vikings and the Bears... Who really cares?
