BEER NEWS
Story #1: Will you drink beer in a box? Not only is MillerCoors coming out with beer in a box (ugh!), but “journalist” James Dlugosch of MSN’s Money Blog “Top Stocks” thinks “despite what the microbrewers will tell you, all beer is pretty much the same. Consumers who pay a premium do so more for the experience than the taste.” WTF?!?!?! Let us know what you think about that asinine comment!
Story #2: Get your U.S. Representative to join the House Small Brewers Caucus. The AHA sent out an action alert last week asking beer enthusiasts to contact their U.S. Representative and ask him/her to join the House Small Brewers Caucus.
