I bet if I looked, it's probably owned by some mega-corporation. But all I know is thatt it went really well with my Moules Frites. As a consumer, that's about all I need.

You can buy what you want, but the question is, do you want to support a company that intentionally deceives its customers and limits their choices of beer.

Of course the mega-brewers have the ability to brew great beer. When they don't release products under their own name, they intentionally mislead the customer.

Somebody please explain to me how not putting Coors on the bottle is deceptive.
It's not Coors.
As far as limiting choice... blame distributors and retailers. They have the option to carry whatever they want. Coors can't MAKE them not stock other products. The worst they can do it not let them stock Coors products which seems to be working out just fine for Roger......
