What the story doesn't teel you is that it is the megaswills ttaht are hurting, and the craft beer market (while still a fraction of the mega's volume) is alive and well.

 

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

You wouldn't know the sales are slipping by lookng into my beer fridge or beer cellar!

 

I didn't read the article, but does it mention the malternatives being part of the blame. My wife loves those Smirnoff Twisteds, and buys those instead of the wussy beers now.

I guess it doesn't affect me, I'm only 19.

It's true -- I don't drink anywhere near as much as I did just a year ago

I'll keep wine in my house - but I drink beer when I go out.

Me no likey wine.....me like beer!!!!

Damnit. I'm in college. I'm doing the best I can.

 

Pick up the slack all.

I prefer beer over wine and, when I do drink wine, I prefer the classics..... Mad Dog 20/20, T-Bird, Boones, etc.

Yumm. Nobody has ever accused you of being a wine snob, have they?

"Miller Brewing Co. President Norman Adami said, "The single biggest threat facing the American beer business today is the possibility that we will allow the American consumer to get bored with beer."

 

I can't imagine how people could possibly get bored by piss water. I think you're absolutely right Jim, the better brews are probably doing very well, hopefully this will cause the s*** beermakers to start making better beers.

I agree!!!!!

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.

Twas a woman drove me to drink. I never had the courtesy to thank her.
