Another reason to buy from small breweries, as if we even needed one more.

^True dat. I didn't realize Peroni was owned by SAB Miller. These big companies have bought up so much of the industry.

I heard on the news today that the merger would result in one beer company basically controlling 30% of the worlds beer market.

Well, at least we can make our own beer if need be. Imagine what would happen if only one company controlled over 30% of cell phone or cable/internet service...


Oh, wait...
