Thanks, I will look for those and look forward to tasting them.

I've had these except the Hellerbach. All infinitely better than Bud or Busch. Breckenridge is a small spot in VT. I like that vanilla porter. Believe New Belgium is from MI, but not sure.

My favorites are Clown Shoes (from MA) very strong tasting typically. Not subtle. Southern Tier (from NY) and Oscar Blues (from NC). Southern Tier Creme Brûlée Stout is a whole dessert! Oscar Blues Old Chub Scotch Ale is superb. Atomistic anything from Clown Shoes is a aggressive example of that type of beer, from IPA to Imperial stout.

To make the taste of any of these out of a Bud, would be like making maple syrup from sap. About 50:1.

I like my home brew much more than Bud, too. In lieu of that, lately I have been enjoying some of Trader Joe's Josephsbrau Hellerbach, Breckenridge Vanilla Porter, and New Belgium Tripple.
(No idea who owns and brews these.)
Cheers, Thoritsu!

I hope the market punishes them both for making crap beer. There is just no reason to drink either unless it is free and you are desperate for a buzz (after like 10 of them).

Yeah I'm at a loss to explain why a commercial showing proper, legal immigration is somehow an argument in favor of illegal immigration. Now the one that seems to show actual illegal immigration, that one is pretty clear and largely ignored.

Same story in every first world country. You have nothing to offer and you don't get in. Hell, even if you have a lot to offer it's very difficult and expensive. And it is getting more difficult every year because of the cost of "free" socialized health care in many countries. They are correct to prevent immigration that drains the treasury. They'd be even more correct to eliminate the cost of "free" health care and let in those with skills, good health, and understanding of liberty and free markets.
More government services is not the way to improve the lives of people. Its meddling. Leave people alone and encourage them to take care of themselves and their families.

I dont think people today object to immigration that benefits the USA. Its just hard to figure how we benefit from destitute people from Syria who believe that its OK to attack and kill "infidels" and bring no skills to our country. I say if immigration doesnt benefit USA, why allow it? Try to move to Canada and see how far you get. Without a pretty good sized "investment" and a clean record (no DUI for a starter), you will get turned away at the border for sure.

Many were also refugees from oppressive regimes at home, but few were refugees from regimes dedicated to the destruction of America or death to anyone who was not of their chosen faith (as encouraged by said faith.)
It is foolish not to use rational analysis of the background and talents of prospective immigrants before allowing immigration.

Reading the comments, a commonality about those of us with ancestors that came to America (mine were Welsh) is that they came to BE AMERICANS. They did not come to suck at the national nipple, they did not come to change what was. They came to utilize the opportunities afforded by freedom to improve their quality of life.

I drink Schlitz Natural Light anyway.

Well, I haven't read the comments cause I'm close to going home tonight. BUT...I wonder if anyone sees what I see in this commercial.
Assuming the donkey was a legal resident of the US...laughing; he worked hard, practiced and then auditioned...and achieved his goal, he became a Clydesdale and immersed into that culture.
Isn't that all we Americans ask?
I say this short of the reference to the demoncrapic party...

You need your passport in the EU as proof of identity and to determine your length of stay on a tourist visa (90 days). If you have another class of visa, work, student, etc. you still need your passport to enter the EU. Once you have gone through immigration at your country of entry you can travel throughout the EU as long as your visa is not expired. The French are rude, the Germans strict and the British stuffy while other countries are like their natural selves. The Italians are carefree and friendly as long as you are. If you want to act up, they don't put up with much. I would not want to depend on them efficiently processing my paperwork and releasing me once incarcerated.

I researched dual citizenship for my wife and since her grandfather did not become a citizen until after her father was born here, she should qualify. I have most of the documentation but she keeps dragging her feet. I think that it would make it easier for us to own property there. My dream was to sell the big barn we live in, purchase a condo in my college town and a flat in Italy. That way we could go back and forth 2-3 times a year picking the best seasons, holidays, family events, etc. She doesn't want to give up our house because maybe one holiday a year all of our children and grandchildren come to visit. Italian women are great cooks, mothers and wives but they want everyone to stay close to the nest forever.

We went to Ripatransone last September and she would almost faint every time she would look out over the farms and vineyards. We spent a day at a vineyard owned by a family that had the same last name as her grandmother although we could not verify that they were related. I have researched multiple properties that would suit us and we would have room for guests but she says they won't come. She was my HS sweetheart and I have been married to her for 54 years so I am going to plant some more grape vines and fig trees around our patio and forget La Marche for now.

My wife and I love to go to Italy and we do every time we can fit it in our budget. I have been using Rosetta Stone, and some other programs trying to learn to speak a little. My wife won't even try, probably a conditioned response. We love the food, wine, art, scenery and the feel of La Dolce Vita.

My wife's father's parents came to America from Ripatransone, It in 1912. He worked in the coal mines in Southern WV and his wife raised their four children. The town was mostly immigrants from southern and eastern Europe with a mix of African Americans and natural born Americans of known and unknown origin. The schools were perhaps behind other schools nationally because the children spoke many different languages and few of their parents spoke any English. My wife's grandmother went back to Italy with the children for four years sometime after WW I to help with the family there and the kids were enrolled in school there. I know my father in law graduated from HS in the US and I think his siblings did as well. Upon graduation from HS, he joined the Marines to serve his country before coming back to work in the mines and start his own family.

Despite this, no Italian was allowed in the second generation's homes. My wife was a little Catholic angel but she probably knew more curse words than Italian words. Her mother was eastern European so their diet was a mixture of ethnic and American foods.

My boring families go back before the Revolutionary War so English was the only language I was exposed to outside of school. All of the kids I went to HS with spoke English as well as most of their parents even though about 75% of their grandparents did not. Every one was a patriot and I never heard anyone say they wanted to be anywhere else. Everyone worked hard and were law abiding. At one time over 10,000 men were employed in the mines there and as I have mentioned before, we had only one policeman.

One of my favorite movies is "The Golden Door" which is about how immigrants came to America in the early 20th century. They did not come in chains but short of that their conditions were like coming on a slave ship. I am amazed at the courage (desperation) that these people had to make the jump but they came and they made America a better place.

InBev is headquartered in Belgium and publicly traded on the on the Euronext stock exchange. With more than 155,000 employees around the world, the company serves as one of the top five consumer product organizations and has more than 200 beer brands in its portfolio. InBev sells its offerings in markets around the world. The company owns six of the ten most valuable brands in the world, which includes Bud Light, Budweiser, Corona, Skol, Stella Artois and Brahma.

Ironically they show someone coming here legally and making a success of himself. The American Dream. They me be getting caught in all the outrageous reaction to Trumps Executive Order.

I think "we" agree on a lot, coaldigger;^)

They sold to a bigger company I believe is centered in South America. The company owns several European breweries like Stella Artois. Bud was always the prototype American Beer with Coors 2nd. The decision on the ad was probably designed by an agency and approved by Bud then reapproved by the company that owns them.
