Allan,

The suggestion you made that Meister Brau, "tastes as good as
Budweiser, but costs less", is owned by Anheiser-Busch, the parent
company of Budweiser is incorrect.  In fact Meister Brau is 
brewed by the Miller brewing company, so the fight is real.

I heard a story on the news that Miller used to brew Meister Brau
several years ago but stopped because it was not very popular.
They have reintroduced the brew with the current ad campaign
as a direct assalt on Budweiser.  Budweiser is the most popular
beer in this nation with Lite beer running a close second.
I think Miller is unsatisfied with this second place rating.
