Label requirements are different for different countries, anyway, so they're likely to have separate labels for the foreign markets. For instance, A-B isn't allowed to call Bud "Budweiser" in most of Europe, so they have to have containers that simply say Bud.

Sounds about right. I don't recall the case history for sure. I know Coors has been involved in some other legal issues due to their concentrate method of beer production.

Ah, right... glad to virtually shake hands with the distant offspring of one of my fellow countrymen, then. :o) Indeed over the centuries many Swiss people left the country because their local communities couldn't sustain them anymore.

On the other hand, 1740 is not that long after my own ancestors arrived in Switzerland... like tenth of thousands of French Huguenots (protestants), who were suddenly denied the very right to live on French soil. It was a massive boost to protestant Europe, as many of the Huguenots who had the financial means to leave were merchants, doctors, printers, chemists, lawyers, weavers etc. and brought their trade and know-how with them.

Immigration and emigration have always been part of European history as well, not just American, sometimes on a massive scale. It's fact far too many Europeans (and Swiss too) tend to forget... and anyway, it's though European emigration that beer spread over the world, too :o)

Cheers !

A-B own plants all over the place, and also have beer contract brewed for some markets. They own the old Watneys brewery at Mortlake, West London where they brew UK 'Budweiser' (ABV 5%, a bottled beer). They also brew Irish 'Budweiser' in Ireland (ABV4.3%, a draft beer).

Lots of them came to England, and were important in the growth of the English economy in the eighteenth century, especially textiles.

Yup, the silk trade, notably, was almost entirely created by this wave of immigrants... Nvertheless, contemporary accounts show that these refugees did not receive too warm a welcome in the placed where they settled.

Coors.

"Concentrate method?" That's Budweiserian for "high gravity method," right?

It's Jacksonian for "I couldn't remember the proper term and came up with something that communicated the jist."

-Steve

wouldn't that be "something that communicated the giss." giz gyz

the giss."

Who brews it?
