Message DYCSoccer17 beers 3746 º places 344 º 20:40 Fri 6/29/2012 The sales on Cinco de Mayo and of Corona on spring break in Mexico to American kids will easily pay for it.

Not saying Mexicans don’t drink Corona, but the profit margin is much greater with Cancun sales and Cinco de Mayo than that of rural Mexicans paying less for it.
Message CharmCityCrab beers 244 º 21:19 Fri 6/29/2012 All this consolidation can’t be good for the consumer. If they really do go after Miller-Coors next, it’ll be time for the Department of Justice to step in and sue on anti-trust grounds. Even the independent adjunct lagers often have to contract brew with the big boys, and more brands that people think are outright owned by the big boys. And the price of everything just keeps on going up.
Message DaSilky1 beers 2607 º places 66 º 23:02 Fri 6/29/2012 If you think that that was a bad investment, you’re fucking stupid.
Message sarro beers 134 º places 6 º 23:40 Fri 6/29/2012 Already invested in a couple cases. InBev is gonna ruin my delicious Corona.

Message billk beers 353 º places 60 º 23:49 Fri 6/29/2012 I keep telling everyone this craft beer thing makes no sense. It’s a bubble I tell ya. How can a country that embraces Kraft, Gatorade, and disgusting chain restaurants be expected to make a major taste shift when it comes to beer? Even the bing-bongs here drink BMC regularly, and brag about it. It’s all a fad, the only thing the tasteless dolts know.
