"Top Performing" beers
Well, none of the beers listed as being the "Top Performing" are ones
I drink, so I guess I judge a beer's "performance" somewhat differently than the "enterprise market information solutions for the consumer packaged goods" geeks do. Still an amusing article, if nothing else (I love the Top Ten New Brands). http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/060317/20060317005356.html?.v=1 |

"Top Performing" beers
Interesting article. I'm posting this to my blog.
However, I'm wondering what the criteria is for being a beer. I wouldn't classify the majority of the top ten beer brands as beers. Only Budweiser Select and Heineken Premium Light Lager are beers. I don't know what #8 B E is. The rest are really all malt drinks or fizzy, fruity beverages. -- Mike http://daysthatendiny.com |

Oh, and Becks Light. I still don't know what B E is, though.

Then I remembered what was on that list -- Mike's Hard and Smirnoff Twisted V -- and I realized I owed you an apology. You're completely right. That ain't beer nohow. -- Lew Bryson "As for talking shit in this NG, Lew, you're the undisputed king, and that's no SHITE." -- Bob Skilnik, 1/31/02 www.lewbryson.com |

B E is most likely "B to the E", that Anheuser Busch wacky marketing abortion that was supposed to take all the business from the club kids who like to mix Red Bull & vodka. http://www.epinions.com/content_166529437316 _Randal |

Not. They tried this with Elk Mountain and then they realized it's all about making money, which is fine. No different from the two-man startup in, say, Portland. But I am firmly in the if-they/Bud-didn't- advertize-like-crazey-no-one-would-buy-it camp. > though.

Let us know why Wild Blue is worth our sheepish/gruding admiration. Scott Kaczorowski Long Beach, CA |
