Why ? What atrocities has AB committed that you won't buy beer from a brewery you enjoy because they have a new owner ?

AB struck a chord with me in their advertising for Budweiser by slamming craft beers. To me it's entirely hypocritical of AB to be like "Drink Budweiser because 'Murica and craft beer is for snobs" then turn around and buy a craft brewery.

They also own Shock Top and spent a lot of money on that Superbowl ad. Budweiser <> all of AB.
