Americans work for A-B's various breweries, too, y'know. Quite a few
Americans.

It's already sold overseas, but it's brewed either under license or
by wholly owned subsidiaries overseas. You don't have problems with
foreigners drinking beer from an American-owned brewery, but now that
it's part of a multi-national conglomerate, that's all awful and bad?

If so, you need to get out more.

What proof do you have for that statement?

I have a library full of books that prove you wrong.

So: Bavarian Hefeweizen is not beer. American-style wheat beer is not
beer. Belgian witbier is not bier. Lambic, gueuze, kriek: not beer.
Belgian Abbey ales and Trappist ales are not beer. Gosebier is not
beer. Berliner Weisse is not beer. Oatmeal stout is not beer. Spiced
Belgian specialty ales are not beer. All historical beer styles brewed
without hops, or with other herbs and spices in addition to hops, are
not beer. Beers fermented with addition of Brettanomyces aren't beer.
Belgian sour brown and red ales aren't beer either.

Is that what you meant to claim, peanut?

'Cause if it is, you're in need of a slap upside the head with a clue-
by-four.
