more xenophobia

Not that I am beer drinker, or any thing alcoholic drinker...but what was really lost here? Supposedly a piece of Americana just disappeared according to the reactions posted in the story. But the breweries themselves didn't shut down. The beer itself is to be the same. Only the name was sold. If the worst thing people can come up with as far as the Belgians is that "they share a border with the Dutch", in the words of Austin Power's father..then I can't see a reason to be overtly concerned that they now own the rights to Budweiser.

Wait a minute. ..Beer Education 101? That's the quality of our college education system? ...And so why exactly don't other countries deserve to be able to buy our stuff?
