Budweiser Superbowl ad
« on: February 02, 2015, 08:26:25 PM »
Budweiser is obviously not feeling threatened at all by the craft movement.

My favorite part: "Only losers drink pumpkin peach ale. Everyone knows this. Except, wait, what’s that? Elysian Brewing, the Seattle brewery that Anheuser just purchased last week, makes a … yes … pumpkin peach ale. It’s called “Gourdia on My Mind .” Anheuser is literally mocking the consumers of the COMPANIES THEY NOW OWN."

Does anyone have any techniques on Beachwood aging? Any help?

I was also racking my brain on how to go about making a beer that won't slow me down. Any thoughts?

Gosh, these are a mystery.

For Beechwood aging, you have to age you product in a town or village named Beechwood. And as luck would have it there is a location that fits the bill in NB.  :rock:

Pretty sure driving through Beechwood with the finished beer on the way to the depot counts as aging it too.
Technically, the 40 seconds it takes is still "aging". 

"THIS IS THE FAMOUS BUDWEISER BEER. WE KNOW OF NO BRAND PRODUCED BY ANY OTHER BREWER WHICH COSTS SO MUCH TO BREW AND AGE. OUR EXCLUSIVE BEECHWOOD AGING PRODUCES A TASTE, A SMOOTHNESS, AND A DRINKABILITY YOU WILL FIND IN NO OTHER BEER AT ANY PRICE."

Really?   :o

InBev apparently interested in Cigar City:
http://tbo.com/news/politics/anheuser-busch-interested-in-buying-tampas-cigar-city-brewing-20150208/

Yeah it's not surprising that those big companies will buy some breweries in several states to maybe hedge, even out or blend some of their portfolio to retain their market share as much as possible. I can just imagine how much liquid cash these conglomerates have kicking around. The whole distribution system plays a huge role as well. And these large companies own most of those distribution networks. Who know what will happen in terms of microbrews nipping at their market share. But for now, the cool thing is there are alot of independent microbreweries in each community that people can can enjoy fresh beer.
