Imagne the TV ads. They're fake enough as it is. I can just see some dicky 20 kilowatt convertable cruising down the street with four equally dicky clones sitting in it holding up their sassberry caffinated lagerchinos!

I am prepared to bet that everything they make will (perhaps eventually) be released as a bag-in-box post-mix product and that if they make beer, there will be a sugar-free diet version -
not made with malt that is almost indistinguishable from the Pepsi product.

That's interesting.
I know it wins points for authenticity, but for my own part, I much preferred the JS Pilsner.

More info about this story from the Herald Sun. It doesn't really tell us anything we didn't already know though.

I know it's not exactly beer related, but I have been hearing one or two stories from some of my mates in the bartending industry that Coca Cola was set to buy Jim Beam. I can't seem to find anything to directly confirm this, but in my opinion, that is a pretty serious move to start making a crack at the alcoholic beverages market.

I suspect he was probably just talking about the rights to make it in ready-to-drink form in Australia (i.e. canned with cola).
