Comments on: Who Owns What? Part II http://BeerWarsMovie.Com/2009/12/10/who-owns-what-part-ii/ In America, size matters. The bigger you are, the more power you have, especially in the business world. Director Anat Baron takes you on a no holds barred exploration of the U.S. beer industry that ultimately reveals the truth behind the label of your favorite beer. Told from an insider’s perspective, the film goes behind the scenes of the daily battles and all out wars that dominate one of America’s favorite industries.

These are all older companies that remained independent (from what I gather) but are able to provide beer at prices that are usually better than the big two. Although Shiner bock is sold as 6-packs for around $6 I can get a half barrel keg for around $75, making it a little cheaper than bud light or miller lite.

This is just hillarious when you think about it. I bet the people wo are saying Are the same ones who shop at a Kroger, Publix, Wal-Mart or Winn-Dixie. If thats the case, why not shop at your local independant grocer.... Oh wait, YOU don't want to pay the HIGHER prices. At one time IN THIS COUNTRY, the big "TWO" were the little guys. Over years of great products and hard work they have grown to be the big guys. Shame on you all for hating on the american dream. Obviously there is plenty for everyone to go around.

Two of my favorite beers are Leffe and Hoegaarden. I assumed that they're still made by Belgium companies, or is that wrong? On the other hand, if Anheuser-Busch hadn't distributed those beers, I might not have ever found them.

America needs to wake up and protect what made this country a promising place to live. We shouldn't reward mechanization and distribution efficiency, but hard work and pride in one's craft to make the best product. And I can't believe that Hoegaarden is owned by AB! What a great beer to have to give up. Oh well, I'll always have my Newcastle and Dogfish Head. It doesn't look like Sam will ever have to give in to the big two as long as my town keeps buying his tasty beverages. Thank you so much for making that movie.
