Here's To Beer!

So I stumbled upon a banner on some webpage that adverstized a website called www.herestobeer.com . Seeing as how I enjoy beer, I clicked on its and its actually a pretty cool site. Lots of beer trivia and information on properly brewing, choosing, and drinking beer. So, You may ask, who has provided this great resource for those of us who enjoy good beer? Surprisingly enough, it is none other than the "king of (crappy) beer" himself, Anheuser Busch. Yes, even though the bottom of the page says " © 2006 Here’s To Beer, Inc. Washington D.C.", the "contact us" link on the page points to "http://contactus.anheuser-busch.com/contactus/herestobeer/contact_us.asp". Furthermore, while the whois database (a database that tells you who owns a internet domain) gives the registrar as EMARKMONITOR INC, it gives the name server as CORPNS1.ANHEUSER-BUSCH.COM. I'm sure this is some sort of marketting ploy, but you gotta hand it to them for (even if not explicitly) putting their name on a website geared towards the kind of people would not usually drink their beer. But maybe thats the point. I did notice that "American Style Lagers" were featured more prominently than they probabaly would be on most frou frou beer websites.

Anyway, sorry for nerding up this blog with computonet terms and whatnot on only the 4th post.
