Beer – The Top Manufacturers
Michael Russell asked:
You see beer commercials all over the place. You probably even have your favorite, especially if you’re a chest pounding, sports watching brute of a he-man. The only thing you really care about is getting your hands on a nice cold brew. But did you ever sit down and wonder who the top beer manufacturers actually are? Of course not. That’s why you’re reading what’s about to follow as we reveal the top beer manufacturers in the world today.
The top five beer manufacturers have quite a few surprises, especially for those of you who are glued to your TV and see nothing but ads for Bud, Bud Light, Miller Light, Molson, Schlitz and the whole cast of characters that follow one bad B-Movie after another.
Well, would it surprise you to know that the fifth largest beer manufacturer in the world is Inbev? Who? You heard right. This worldwide company comes in at number five. They own a ton of premium brands like Beck’s. Ah, yes, now you know who they are. They also manufacture a few specialty brands like Belle-Vue. Okay, so maybe you’re not so familiar with that one. This company sells most of their beer in America, Europe and Asia.
Coming in at number 4 on the hit parade of brews is Scottish & Newcastle. In case you’re not familiar with them, they actually make a lot of other drinks besides beer, including water, cider and even soft drinks. Talk about diversifying. Their main markets are in the United Kingdom and Europe. They export their beer to over 60 countries. Their main base of operations is in Edinburgh.
The third largest beer manufacturer in the world is one you have probably heard of. The company is Heineken. This company is literally all over the place, operating in over 170 countries in Africa, Europe, North and South America, the Middle East and even Asia. What most people don’t know is that Heineken also manufactures many soft drinks and other non alcoholic beverages. The company operates out of Amsterdam and employs more than 60,000 people.
Just missing the top spot is a company by the name of Asahi. Asahi is all over the world, literally. There is hardly a county in which they don’t operate. Their main beer is Asahi Super Dry. You may not have heard of it but it’s the number two seller behind the company we’re about to reveal. This company also makes soft drinks and nutritional supplements. And if you think beer and Japan don’t go together, then you better think again because that’s just where the headquarters of this giant resides.
And finally, we get to the number 1 beer manufacturer in the world and this should come as no surprise to anyone who’s ever walked into a bar or just watch a little TV. The Anheuser-Busch brewery is the number 1 beer making company, not only in the United States, but all over the world. It’s Budweiser brands are known by all. Even though they operate mostly in the United States, they own 50% of Mexico’s leading brewer and 27% of the top brewer in China. Yes, Anheuser-Busch, or Budweiser, really IS the king of beers.
Just like it says on the commercial.

Beer – From A Non Beer Drinker’s Perspective
Michael Russell asked:
Contrary to popular belief, not everybody likes beer. I know that all the beer drinkers in the world will read this and probably head for the back button on their browser. Well, that’s fine, but if you want to get into the mind of a non beer drinker and understand why he or she doesn’t drink beer, you might want to read what follows. At least you’ll understand why there are actually some people who would rather walk on hot coals than drink a bottle of beer.
For starters, do you remember the very first time you took a sip of beer? Of course you do. It was just before you wanted to barf all over the bartenders cash register. It was bitter, it was disgusting and it was just plain not something you ever wanted to drink again. And then you looked around at all your cool friends, seeing them enjoying their ice cold brew and you thought to yourself, “If I don’t drink this beer they are all going to laugh at me”. So you bit the bullet and finished your brew. Eventually and it took time, you got used to the taste and actually began to enjoy it. You beat your better senses. You became a beer drinker.
Well, non beer drinkers simply didn’t bow to peer pressure. They took that first sip, realized that what they were drinking tasted like something out of a bathroom tap rather than an alcohol tap and said, “The heck with my friends. I’ll be darned if I’m going to drink this.”. . You can fill in the blank with your own descriptive and colorful word. The point is, you refused to cave in. Your real friends would still be your friends even if you didn’t turn into a beer drinker.
But not caving into peer pressure is not the only reason non beer drinkers don’t drink beer. Let’s face it, beer is fattening. They call them beer bellies for a reason and anybody who wants to have any chance to score with a really hot girl doesn’t want to look like Fernando Valenzuela. It’s hard enough getting girls these days even if you’re good looking since most good looking men are automatically assumed to be uninterested in women. And if you’re thinking that you can always drink light beer, well, that stuff tastes worse than the regular beer, if it has any taste at all.
But there’s still another reason why non beer drinkers don’t drink beer. This applies to people who do socially drink something. Obviously, those who don’t drink any type of alcoholic beverage aren’t going to drink beer. But for those who do drink, the reason they will choose other beverages, such as mixed drinks or wine coolers over beer, even if they don’t mind the taste of beer so much, is that these other drinks have a different social status attached to them. Most beer drinkers are looked at as the common man. Men who are investment brokers for a living want to project a different kind of image. So they will pick a martini over a beer, even if they have nothing against the taste itself.
So the next time you’re with a friend of yours and you offer him a beer and he says no thanks, don’t go jumping to conclusions. There could be many reasons why he just doesn’t drink beer.

Beer – What Goes Well With It?
Michael Russell asked:
If you ask John Michael Montgomery what goes good with beer, he’ll tell you the following:
It goes good with beer and the Friday night atmosphere. Of this cross-town bar where the cars all get steered to. And it goes hand-and-hand with my crazy buddies and this three-piece band, An’ the pretty girls and the games we play and the smoke and mirrors: Yeah, troubles come, but they go good with beer.
Well, this probably isn’t what you expected to find when looking for something that went well with beer, but the truth is, a lot of things go good with beer and not just food.
Yes, of course there are the foods that we love to eat that go good with beer. You’ve got your classic beer and pizza combo. Can anything even come close to the taste of an ice cold beer and a hot slice of pizza? For that matter, even a cold slice of pizza and beer is pretty good. For some guys, that’s pure heaven.
Then there’s peanuts and beer. That’s why they sometimes call them beer nuts. You can walk into your corner bar, especially if it’s one of them home town doggie places, if you know what I mean and just ask the bartender for some beer and nuts. He’ll know just what you want. Or, if you’re too lazy to leave the house, just have a jar of those Planters nuts laying around, open up a nice cold brew and have yourself a picnic. For some guys, that’s all they need.
But beer is not just about what you eat with it. Beer can be used as a very useful tool for picking up women. A typical scenario is you’re at a bar, you order your drink and there’s a cute gal sitting two stools over. You turn to her and in your most macho voice you say to her, “Can I buy you a beer?” Now if you were a real sophisticated guy you’d probably ask her if she wanted a drink. But offering her a beer is so much more manly and raw-at-home-boyish.
Then of course there is the beer as used for a prop when playing pool. You’re standing there with your pool cue in your hands while you’re buddy is running the table on you and the last thing you want to do is look like a loser of a dork, so you kind of lean on your cue stick, cock your body to one side, pick up that nice cold long-neck bottle (has to be long-neck) and take a nice, slow, long guzzle. You’ll look so cool, people will think you’re winning.
And finally, beer is just great for sitting in front of the TV and watching your favorite episode of NYPD Blue. Has to be a manly type of program. None of that girl stuff. While you’re doing this, you lean back, spread your arms across the back of the couch and let out a good loud…Well, you get the picture.
Beer. It goes well with just about anything.
