why my brain scares me sometimes

Why is it that Anheuser Busch hasn't started a national chain of beer pubs, à la Starbucks?

You haven't been to an airport lately, have you?

From a web beer news site, in their May-June 2002 update:

Another Budweiser Brewhouse

HMSHost Corporation, the world's largest provider of food, beverage and retail concessions to the travel industry, has opened its newest Budweiser Brewhouse in Memphis International Airport. HMSHost operates Budweiser Brewhouses in fourteen airports nationwide including Chicago O'Hare, Las Vegas McCarran International, Miami and Newark.

Apparently they're also in military bases, too. I couldn't find a web page with a photo of one of these, which is too bad - I rather enjoyed the one in O'Hare. Then again, I like Bud.

Here's a great WSJ article (http://www.cob.ohiou.edu/~mgt300/cases/beer.htm) which will completely answer your question. Also, it explains about the origin of Coors' Blue Moon Belgian White, which I really love, and it invokes the phrase 'Moon Unit' in the last sentence.
