Ρίξτε μια πιο αναλυτική ματιά παρακάτω ... έχει ενδιαφέρον , ενώ ταυτόχρονα προσέξτε και ποια άλλα brands υπάγονται κάτω από τη στέγη των μεγάλων του χώρου (Anheuser-Busch , MillerCoors κτλ)!
Μου φαίνεται πάντως .. κάπως ... να βλέπω τη Goose Island να συν-αθροίζεται πλέον με την Anheuser-Busch !!!
Θα το συνηθίσουμε ... πού θα μας πάει ...!!
