Independents  Day has come and gone, and it got me thinking about all of the beer  that has been consumed over the past weekend to celebrate the birth of  our country. At this point, it is not new information, at least to the  educated Craft Beer Drinker, that Budweiser, Coors and Miller are no  longer American owned breweries. But still much of the population seems  to ignore this fact entirely. Maybe the general population is just so  wonderfully enthralled with the tastelessness of these beer knockoffs  and their sexist marketing, that they have forgotten to realize the  close similarity to these beverages with what has been previously  described as ball sweat. 
Now  I am no different then most people in the fact that I have friends, and  yes, even family who absolutely refuse to drink anything other than these  beverages. It saddens me that many of these are good wholesome people  who just do not know any better and are suffering without ever realizing  it. Personally I would like to grab each one of them by the scruff of  the neck and shake them until they succumb. Or even violently kick them  in the sack so that I may then pour a flavorful pint down their throat.  But I know in my heart that violence is not the answer. (thanks mom!)
So  what are we to do as a nation to help our fellow Americans get on the  path to righteousness and beer freedom? After spending many restless  nights pondering this question. I have come to realize that it is only  with diligence and bravery in which we shall prevail. So I call on all  of you... the enlightened ones, to reach out to your fellow human  beings, to our brothers and sisters. Now is the time to sway the  uneducated by providing samples of crossover brews! Initiate beer  tastings! Food Pairings! Homebrew Demonstrations! And if necessary  utilize gorilla warfare to raid their fridges and replace the unholy piss  water with beers of flavor and substance!
We  can no longer stand by and allow this behavior to continue! If you won’t  do it for yourselves, then for goodness sakes, do it for America!
