Who owns the beer?

A few posts back, I lamented about a Belgium company attempting to buy Anheuser-Busch, maker of Budweiser. Looking around the Internet today, I discovered that a couple of other popular beers, Miller and Coors, have already been purchased by foreign companies…Millers by a South African company SAB-Miller, and Coors by Molson of Canada. Learn something every day I guess. It's not that I don't like foreign beer, I certainly do. I spent fours years living in Germany, and of course there's nothing like an ice cold Corona or Tecate with a lime on a hot summer day. Then there are the thousands of small micro-breweries in the U.S. which are also great to sip. On second thought, maybe it makes no difference in what country beer is brewed…beer is beer.
