With Coors, Miller and Anheuser-Busch now all owned by foreign conglomorates, asks Travis Daub, what’s a patriotic beer-drinker to do?

Answer: Drink PBR. Sort of.

Believe it or not, Pabst Brewing Company is now the largest American-owned brewer. But Pabst doesn’t even brew its own beer anymore. All 29 Pabst beers, from Schlitz, to Lone Star to Colt 45 to the legendary Pabst Blue Ribbon are outsourced to SAB Miller, based in South Africa.

Next on the list comes Boston Beer Company, which counterintuitively bottles its famous Sam Adams lager in Pennsylvania.

Third is D.G. Yuengling and Son Inc., known far and wide as America’s oldest brewery, operating in Pottsville, PA since 1829.

Buy local, drink local, support Yuengling!

There’s something deeply ironic in the fact that many of the top 10 biggest brewers left in the country make “elitist” beer - Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, etc. Bud and Miller, the drink of regular Joe, is now made by regular Henri. Sacrilege.
