Letter of the day: When it comes to beer, he's red, white and blue

July 15, 2008 at 11:27PM

So the last great American brewer, Anheuser-Busch, decides the money is just too good and hands over its storied institution of brewing to Belgian brewer InBev.

Personally, I'm tired of this. As a proud, naturalized citizen and veteran of the U.S. Navy, I feel blessed by the warm embrace and opportunity this country has given me; thus I do my best to purchase "Made in America" products.

Being a beer consumer with rather "eclectic tastes," I will say goodbye to Bud -- I've already said my goodbyes to Coors and Miller -- and hello to Summit, Sam's, Schells and the micros that shall now populate our fridge.

RICHARD O'BRIEN, ALBERTVILLE, MINN.
