A-B goes Belgian

Anheuser-Busch is now Belgian owned. I'm sure you can read about this anywhere so I won't babble on. What I find interesting is InBev owns over 200 brands among those acquired by A-B. I will dig around and try to find some interesting ones. InBev's website is down currently, but here is what I have so far:

Stella Artois, Boddingtons, Beck's, Staropramen, Bass, Leffe, Labatt, Hoegaarden, Brahma, Budweiser and Michelob.

GOLDEN FLEECE UPDATE: Team Columbia (although only having 1 american rider) is considered an american team has now lost all jerseys after todays difficult mountain climb. They were not expected to keep the yellow jersey, but have now lost all three. The bright spot is Team Garmin/Chipotle (the othe american team) now has a rider in the top 3, Vandevelde. Just like the hostile beer climate, riding in the mountains the standings can change quickly.

The giants get even bigger. Simply the reality of today's world. We've got to keep supporting the little guys!
