Heinekin? frick that shite
quote:
Attention, hipsters. Pabst Brewing Company — and its signature Pabst Blue Ribbon, the ironic, iconic favorite of the young and the cool — has sold to a Russian beverage firm after a century and a half of American ownership, an investing firm announced Thursday. Oasis Beverages, the largest independent brewer in Russia, bought Pabst, which also produces Colt .45, Old Milwaukee and Lone Star beers, according to a statement by the American investment firm TSG Consumer Partners, which will hold a minority stake.
Oasis Board Chairman Eugene Kashper said, “Pabst Blue Ribbon is the quintessential American brand — it represents individualism, egalitarianism and freedom of expression — all the things that make this country great." PBC's headquarters will remain in Los Angeles, according to the statement, but the terms of the sale were not disclosed. Pabst was established in 1844 in Milwaukee, according to the brewer's website. PBC was bought by investor Dean Metropoulos in 2010, and since then, he has managed the company with his two sons, Evan and Darren. "We are very supportive of the new ownership group and their exciting plans for the future," Metropoulos said.

a few months back i was in San Diego and was drinking with a beer distributor at a bar.
We had a long conversation and i was sad to learn that Bud, Coors, Miller, and the like are not American owned in the least any more.
Yeungling is the largest American owned Brewery. Which is sad because it's the largest, and I can't even get it in TX.
Shiner, Sam Adams, St. Arnolds, etc.are still niche players, but as long as America drinks the swill put out by the big boys, they'll never get too much bigger.

I refer you all to the scene in Network.
"You are an old man that thinks in terms of nations -- there are no nations, no peoples, no russians, no arabs, no west, there is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and interwoven, multi variant, multinational dominion of dollars -- it is the international system of currency". "There is no America - there is only IBM, ATT, Dupont, Union Carbine, Exxon" "What do you think the russians talk about? Marx? They compute the price cost probabilities of their investments just like we do. We no longer live in a world of ideologies. The world is a college of corporations". "The world is a business, Mr. Beile".
For those of you with time to waste, here's a little explanation about the world you live in.

MOTHER frickER
this is it, I've had enough. The ferigners took Budweiser, what did I do? Didn't panic, I'm sure it'll be fine
Then the commies took Chrysler, who gives a shite I said, frick dodge
But now they have taken my PBR! I've had it, it's time to mobilize for war gentlemen!
Shaft, until now I thought you were nothing if not a patriot to be admired, but if you ever again suggest the ferigner-zation of PBR isn't of the direst if consequence you will feel my wrath

Sleeping Tiger is right, this is serious bidness. If we don't act now, it'll be 9/11 all over again.
