Message phaleslu P admin beers 16532 º places 792 º 13:15 Tue 7/31/2012 The All American Beer Company has launched! Slogan: "Taking Back America- One Beer at a Time!" I, and the rest of the STL beer geek community (or community at large), had heard absolutely nothing about this until seeing a big end-cap display in a local grocery store last Tuesday. The company has been in development for three years and kept under wraps until the launch by its founder, John Beal (of the John Beal Roofing Company).

Message phaleslu P admin beers 16532 º places 792 º 13:23 Tue 7/31/2012 Naturally, this has raised some serious questions from me and others, not limited to: -Is this guy serious? -"Taking back America" from whom or what? Is Beal not aware that in the 3-4 years since A-B was taken over by InBev, about a dozen breweries have opened in the STL area alone? -Why was this kept under wraps for 3 years and launched without any promotional campaign? -Beal is clearly trying to target buyers disenchanted with the international takeover of a locally-owned corporation, but does he realize he’s been beaten to the punch already by someone with the last name "Busch"? (Kraftig launched last year.) -Are people aware that Beal has had a few other unsuccessful local companies in other industries, and that he is not well-respected by those familiar with these ventures? Good luck, I guess, but this whole venture just seems silly to me.

Message JMerritt places 72 º 13:43 Tue 7/31/2012 My buddy made a great comment - I’m sure all his roofing supplies (and workers) are 100% American as well.
Message pr0grammer beers 2 º 13:51 Tue 7/31/2012 Have you tried it yet? It’s actually pretty good. I also heard on 97.1 that it beat out a taste test against bud light.
