Duh. I'd rather have AB owned by a Belgian company than by a Mexican company. Of course I couldn't really care less what happens to AB, but I do have a weak heart for the Belgian ales. Oh - InBev is a Belgian company according to you? To me it is a Brazilian-steered multinational... The U.S. is for sale – and foreign investors are buying The dollar's slump makes scooping up US businesses and real estate a financial bargain. By David R. Francis posted June 09, 2008 at 11:00 am EDT The United States has become a bustling bargain basement for world investors. Using excess dollars earned as a result of the massive US trade deficit, foreigners are buying up big chunks of the nation's businesses and properties. The latest shoppers: Abu Dhabi for New York's Chrysler Building and a Belgian-Brazilian brewery for Anheuser-Busch.

In the USA, we see far more evidence of InBev's Belgian connections than its Brazilian connections.

Negra Modelo is one of the few mass made Vienna style lagers available outside of Austria. Negra Modelo is one of the few mass-made Vienna-style lagers, period. The style has nearly disappeared from Austrian brewing. Vienna's remaining big production brewery, Ottakringer, markets a "Schnitt," which is sorta like an old-style Vienna lager, but is actually a blend of their pale and dark lagers. Their "Zwickl rot" is a red unfiltered lager that is something like a rustic, yeasty version of a Vienna lager. Otherwise, revivalist Vienna lagers are pretty much the domain of small specialist brewers, particularly Vienna's Siebenstern and Salm brewpubs. |
