Misspoke: Asahi bought Fuller's Beer; Greene King was sold to this fellow: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Ka-shing
who owns a lot of things.

All through hard work.

The Germans frowned, because there's the "Deutsche Reinheitsgebot" stating, that beer may ONLY be brewed from hops, malt and barley, Asahi being made with rice and corn.
Having bought Fuller's and Anheuser-Bush's Australian division in 2019 after buying Grolsch, Pilsner Urquell and Peroni in 2016, they are closing in.

They just bought the local Suffolk brewers [ famed for IPA ] Greene King for nearly £3 billion.

No odds to me, I find beer undrinkable, but means late capitalism means less and less choice in the end.

I see someone misspelled the "insect" tag as "incest". Fixed.
