Just over the wire.

After rejecting a previous offer to be acquired by European brewer InBev, The Clydesdale's booses decide to sell out.

when i was younger, growing up in la crosse wis., we used to drink old style. then we would pee in the river,(missippi) where it would float downstream and they would make budweiser out of it. ;D

Old Style?

thats terrible news..being from st louis, you got to see just how much that brewery and its name and history meant to the city..its a damn shame they sold out like that

**Vikestand** · 07-13-2008, 09:27 PM

I live in St. Louis, born and raised here. What a fucking shame.....That brewery was the heart and sole of this city. I grew up going to Grant's Farm with my grandparents and taking the tour. What people don't realize is how much they did for the community. And all of that shit is going down the drain to a foreign company........

By the way I've had "Minnesota" beer at the Schell's brewery..........Yup taste like beer.....

Beer snobs crack me up.....

Miller is better. They should just bow down.

**Vikestand** · 07-13-2008, 09:34 PM

Yeah thats why AB accounted for almost 50% of beer sales in the United States....Thnk about it...
