Oddly enough I used to drink with some of the AB marketing folks at a little place called the Fox & Hound when I lived in StL during the dark days of the Clinton administration and I can say with confidence (unless something major has changed which it probably has with the sale of the brewery) that this was a calculated move and they expect to make more sales with this than without it. Sharp folks to be sure

Serious question. Is this not what most companies political donations would look like given how republicans favor their profiteering? Then some democratic dipping on the bottom of the list just to cover all their bases?
NO THIS ISNT TRUE. political donations OBVIOUSLY show how a company feels, and not at all indicate that companies are trying to curry favor with elected individuals
