There are some wonderful domestic beers that exist in the space between craft and macro brews. Pacifico is an excellent example, and its probably moved into the macro beer category in recent years.

Pacifico is brewed by Grupo Modelo, itself owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev everywhere except the U.S., where it's owned by the New York-based Constellation Brands. It is brewed in Mazatlán, Mexico. So, it is largely owned by Anheuser Busch and is not an American beer (like dozens of other ABInBev beers such as Spaten, St. Pauli Girl, Hoegaarden, Stella, Bass Ale, Presidente, Montejo, Leffe, Kirin, Beck's, Boddingtons ...).

That's why this wingnut meltdown over Bud Light is so stupid. Many of these outspoken wingnuts now have switched to Coors Lite which itself has been an outspoken advocate of LGBTQ rights or unwittingly to one of many other brands owned by ABInBev.

This is yet another example of pointlessly stupid performative nonsense by the AltReich, a group that says it's opposed to "cancel culture."

Mexico is in North America. A really cute Mexican American pointed out this to me not all that long after I settled in East Dallas. We Yanks aren't the only Americans. ;^)

I'm not disputing that. It doesn't make Pacifico or Modelo (nor Molson or Labatt's) "American" beers just as your argument doesn't make Andrés Manuel López Obrador the American President.

I had a discussion that was pretty much all that at work last Friday.

Nothing but deer in the headlights looks.

That's always been my practice irrespective of whoever has the bottle/can next to their mug on a TV screen. I'd drink the beer if I liked it even if TFG was hawking it in a commercial. Sure I'd have to don a disguise to buy it, but there you go.

I'm being ridiculed for my "conspiracy" nonsense from the left and the right.

But Brendan Whitworth, AB CEO, is 'former' CIA. It's said one is never allowed to leave 'The Company'.

It seems to me there is a connection. In this case it would be 'blow back', unintended consequences.



Sorry Bob. Is that pic too big ? Don't know the actual size.

My neighbor and I did for about 5 years back in the early 1990's. The trouble was that we'd end up drinking a whole 5-gallon batch with some buddies at one sitting and then have to go out and buy more beer anyway. Soon enough, there were plenty of good craft beers to choose from.

Being on the Left of most all issues I still have problems when it comes to minors and gender issues.

There are reasons why minors are not allowed to make some decisions before reaching a certain age.

Especially when it are ones with lasting results. I may feel sympathy for those who identity with another sex wanting to participate in sports. Yet still think they should not.

The same is true for gender reassignment before adulthood is where I stand. I have know many adolescents who were two, three or more different incarnations of self before reaching adulthood. Without the help from modern science or Doctors...
