I know it is now owned by InBev but unfortunately for American drinkers, the Belgians do not intend to make any changes to the beer itself. They might use the Busch distribution channels to get more of their Belgian beers more widely sold in the US, and that IS a good thing for American drinkers ;-) Cheers, Nathan Nathan Wajsman Alicante, Spain http://www.frozenlight.eu http://www.greatpix.eu http://www.nathanfoto.com Books: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/search?search=wajsman&x=0&y=0 PICTURE OF THE WEEK: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws Blog: http://www.fotocycle.dk/blog On Oct 1, 2008, at 7:05 AM, Jayanand Govindaraj wrote: > Nathan, > Be careful in what you say.
