I didn't post that to tell anyone what to like, or drink.
There is a really interesting movie about this called
Beer Wars Movie
It's a bit similar to how people feel about eating veal, and how the animals are treated.
In this case it's how the Mega Brewers are treating small business. Trying to crush the competition by not allowing them cooler space in stores, because they control what stores carry and product shelf placement.
Whenever they feel that their space is being encroached upon by a smaller brewery, they just create another beer or another size to take up more space. That’s the reason, for instance, that Budweiser Selects exists — it’s not because it taste different than Bud (in fact, there’s very little discernible taste between Bud, Miller, and Coors) — it’s because it allowed Budweiser to take up another six feet of shelf space. That’s also why you can get Bud products in cases, 12 packs, six packs, cans, bottles, and even mini-cans: because it takes up more space. That’s why you have to spend 10 minutes searching your grocery store shelves to find the better beers, if they exist at all. There’s also the massive beer lobby, which is bigger than the gun and tobacco lobbies combined, which works diligently to assure that the status quo remains.
