Pabst RED Ribbon

Hello My Dear Friends! You know there is nothing more American than Red, White & Blue. This week a symbol of low budget America has jumped ship. The symbol of which I speak is PBR. That's right, Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer. The 170 year old Milwaukee brewery has been sold to Moscow-based Oasis Beverages. That's right. The flagship beer of Hipsters and poor people across the Country is now Commie Beer! In the past decade or so Anheuser-Busch goes to Belgium based InBev, Coors merges with Molson and becomes Canadian and a South African company buys Miller Brewing Co. What is the international obsession with crappy beer? I realize the Russians are no strangers to crappy beer. Believe me, I've tasted Baltika. It sucks.  First Twinkies and Ding Dongs move to Mexico and now this! It's the beginning of the end people. They're making it impossible to be xenophobic and obese! Thank goodness Peeps and Cheetos are still all American. It's funny, really, that we say "as American as Baseball..." when all of the Rawlings Baseballs used by Major League Baseball are made in Costa Rica. When you think about Americana you think of Radio Flyer Red Wagons (made in China since 2004); Barbie Dolls (Hong Kong); Etch A Sketch (China). Remember Huffy Bikes? China. It's a shame, really. Even that evil little troll Jon Bon Jovi tried to move our beloved Buffalo Bills to Canada! (All hail Terry Pegula). Anyway, my Dear Friends, another piece of Americana leaves the Motherland. It's just another brick in the wall. (London).
