Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Well, soapy beer would taste terrible, lol.lady ulrike wrote:Actually, it's not that the beer was terrible, it's that some detergent/soap of some type ended up in the beer and they were selling it to Mexico figuring no one there would care. Peggy found out, brought it to her superiors, and was basically told it's none of your business, so she gave the board members some of the tainted beer that was being sold in Mexico. Their violent reaction was getting sick.

Actually, they don't want to turn the Sea World parks into a Disneyland, Carowind, Knotts Berry Farm type of place. InBev doesn't want the parks at all and is much more interested in selling off them off, since they are "non-core business assets". We are much more likely to see them sold off to another company (hopefully not Cedar fair) than to see InBev get rid of the Busch name and turn them into another kind of park.mechurchlady wrote:It is a new owner so they will want to get rid of the busch name and the beer related theme and turn it into a Disneyland, Carowind, Knotts Berry Farm type of place. A place without the free booze and peddling of Busch products.

I dunno, but if I were the Clydesdales horses over there I'd be pretty darn worried. Horse meat is a delicacy in Belgium. Before equine slaughterhouses were outlawed here, most of them were actually Belgian owned.ForJustADollarMore wrote:Do you think this has more to do with the recession or the Belgian company taking over?

Re: What, no free beer?
Probably both. InBev was heavily leveraged in the initial takeover. The recession will hurt them even more.ForJustADollarMore wrote:Do you think this has more to do with the recession or the Belgian company taking over?

I hate to inform you, Knott's sells alcohol. My friend works there and there is beer sold in bottles.

That reminds me of a story I heard about pre Castro Cuba. The punch line was, "Your sister?!?! I won't even drink the water!!"GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:Hey, a bar is a bar. And it was a heck of a lot safer than drinking water there!!!
