re: CTH write up on the current state of AB.

August Busch III would have strangled this guy with his bare hands.

Funny story. I knew the fella that invented Bud Light (rip). He said Miller Lite was cutting our arse, I was in charge of marketing and August was relentlessly on my arse. Had two heart attacks working for the guy. Finally, finally those ads "no I said a bud light". Remember those, the guy orders a lite and flaming arrows, blow torches, etc. Bars finally started asking bud light or miller lite and they started gaining on Miller.

So August calls him in the office. Look I feel partially responsible for the health issues, so you are retiring. You like golf so Im putting you in charge of the AB classic in Williamsburg and set you up a place down there.

Now sign these. Whats that, its a distributorship in NC a few hours from Williamsburg so you can visit the grandkids, the distributorship is for your son. He should clear a few million a year at least. Whats the other thing you want me to sign. Its an agreement you will never set foot in the distributorship, its your kids, all the money you saved up for them, blow it, your heirs are taken care of.

And August would strangle this clown.
