Miller + Coors Merge

[Woppy V]

Yep #2 & #3 team up to go after #1!



I find in interesting because in Williamsburg... AB pretty much runs the area. They have the brewery here, Kingsmill, Busch Gardens, Water Country USA... But odds our this merge wont dent AB that much.





Anyone got a specific choice of beer while I have you attention?

I've grown to like that Bud Select stuff alot.

A/B is HUGE...



They own so much it is unreal.



I have stock in A/B. It was a buy good buy.

 

[Woppy V]

They apparently own 48% of the beer market? Thats a number that a friend of mine with AB sent recently announching the merger.

I know that Budweiser is the best selling beer out there, but I don't like the taste at all. I much prefer Miller products to Bud, but would put many smaller brews above both of them (Killians, Boddington).



Although, given a choice, I'll take a Jack Daniel or Captain Morgan over any of them. Mmmm, Jack Daniel . . .



Rocks

I drink Corona, but I always mix in some grenadine to the mix to give it that cherry flavor and get rid of the after taste. Other times will add scotch and grenadine to the Corona. Now, a good shot is. Gorilla Fart: Its considered a double shot. Half 101 Wild Turkey, half 151 Bacardi.



Our biggest sellers around here is Corona and Heinken.

AB is number one because of advertising. They do know how to promote their goods.



Lord knows they do not sell it on taste alone. YUCK!!!

I won't drink anything the big 3 make. Only microbrews for me. I prefer beer with actual flavor.

So what do you call the beer made by the merged company? Moors? Cooler?

 

[Woppy V]

Thats the weird thing Bill... apparently from the article drastic changes aren't going to occur. If this merger is to make a significant splash you would think a hybrid beer or something would come about...

 

[Bob Alcaro]

I'm not a big beer person (prefer Jack rocks, or at times Chivas with a water splash) but during the hot part of summer a beer is nice.

I used to do Miller draft but switched to Bud when Miller donated $30K to the illegal aliens legal fund "because everyone needs representation".

BS I say and I won't buy Miller any more, Period!

WoppyV--I realize that, but I thought we could still have some fun playing with the names....

 

[Michael Sugarman]

A Coors and Miller merger would be Ciller!

 

[Greg Stuhlsatz]

Hey I love bud light and michelob light. Maybe they will come up with something I like.

 

[Mike Dziubina]

anything domestic, light and cold here...

Being a Miller man myself, I can't see the point of this merger. Both of them togther can't match the % of sales of AB. With Smirnoff and the like also taking a pretty good chunck out of sales, it seems a waste of time. May just help them both stay afloat. I drink mostly Jim Beam and Coke, but when I do drink beer, it's Miller Lite.

 

[Gavin Allan]

They don't call it the "King of Beers" for nothing.

 

[Jacob Dryer]

When you combine piss with piss it's still piss so why does it matter? (Can you tell I'm an import beer drinker? )

 

[Matthew W]

Prefer something with taste & substance .... nothing better than a good, cold Sam Adams !! Medium to darker brews ...



... speaking of which, I hear one calling now ! C'ya !!

 

[Paul Torrez]

I prefer Blue Moon or Sweetwater Ale. Miller looks like piss water.

 

[Kirk Risseler]

I agree with Mike "anything domestic, light and cold here..."
