Beer and the devil
Created | Updated Dec 8, 2003
well, most of us might think of beer as heaven, yes they will equal heaven with beer or the other way around.
Yet, there is the dark side of beer. I am not talking about the hangovers as some claim that good beer does not cause any (which is pretty much true in my opinion, it's the cigarettes, wine, hard alcohol, other drugs well and most importantly all mixed together, anyway). a lot of nations claim to make the best beers. A lot of people claim to be the biggest beer drinkers.
There's Belgium Beer (which is hated by Germans for the fact of being unpure, i.e. there's equally disgusting stuff as honey beer...), there's German Beer (with most of the breweries too small to export any, and of course the exported Beer is considered crap, anyway), Czech Beer (Pils - though related to German Beer), Austrian Beer, and so on well and last and least American Beer which is surprisingly more liquid than water...
Whichever Nation you're from, whichever style of Beer you prefer,
beware of the devil, one that is aiming at destroying that well discussed controversy I have come to love ('though the others never understand!)
The Devil's name is Interbrew, the biggest Multinational in Beer. It is buying brands at an increasingly alarming speed.
They do post their Beer Brands at their Website though.
Interbrew (besides of being Belgium which is enough reason for any National (except Belgiums of course) Beer lover not to buy it, then it is just the thought of having our favorite Beer owned buy the same company that owns our most hated Beer. And the most important reason of all is Interbrew's policy regarding GMOs!! I suppose that noone would like genetically modified ingredients in their Beer.
See the Greenpeace Homepage for more info on that matter.
So help me in my case and DO boycott Interbrew.
Thank you very much
