Look at Rolling Rock...people still think it's a local beer here in southwestern pennsylvania and while yes it is produced locally it's owned by Interbrew a Canadian company and it isn't really a brand that's hurting. Interbrew is actually the BIGGEST globally with its most recent acquisition (which is slipping my mind right now- some brewing company abroad).
All I have to say is SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BREWERY!
Really I'm off my soapbox now.
this is why I never read the beer related threads

Isn't the biggest breweries Anheuser-Busch, with SABMiller being the second?
