It's All Beer to Me-- Part 1

From the July 6th Chicago Tribune "2 behemoths at lager heads."

Last week, Anheuser-Busch InBev announced that they were buying Corona-maker Grupo Modelo, the latest in the long trend of beer market consolidation which increases the hold of the two major makers AB InBev and Chicago-based MillerCoors.

The Tribune had a huge graphic showing the brands of he two giants as well of sales for the year ending June 10th.  All numbers in millions.

I started with MillerCoors because that's my favorite if I have a choice.  Hey, around here is the bastion of Miller.  I sure did not know that Coors Lite sold more than Miller Lite.  Those are my two favorites and I must admit I can't taste the difference between the two.
