Miller's tag line is "It's Miller Time!"
I know Budweiser is an American lager though is it made in Germany or is it in the US? But Miller? Maybe it is British? No, it's American as stated here:
"The Miller Brewing Company is an American beer brewing company owned by SABMiller. Its regional headquarters is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the company has brewing facilities in Albany, Georgia; Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin; Eden, North Carolina; Fort Worth, Texas; Irwindale, California; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Trenton, Ohio. On 1 July 2008 the MillerCoors company was formed as a joint venture with rival Molson Coors to consolidate the production and distribution of its products in the United States, with each parent company's corporate operations and international operations remaining separate and independent of the joint venture. The stock ticker symbol is SAB.L."
As for Budweiser:
"Budweiser /bʌdˈwaɪzər/ is a pale lager produced by Anheuser–Busch InBev. Introduced in 1876 by Adolphus Busch it has grown to become one of the highest selling beers in the United States, and is available in over 80 markets worldwide. It is made with up to 30% rice in addition to hops and barley malt. Budweiser is produced in various breweries located around the world. It is a filtered beer available in draught and packaged forms. Adolphus Busch left Germany for the United States in 1857. He settled in St. Louis, Missouri, where he eventually established his own brewing supply house. In St. Louis, Busch also met and married a woman named Lilly Anheuser. Lilly’s father, Eberhard Anheuser, owned a small brewery that had been yielding lager beer for some time. In 1864, Busch partnered with his father in-law to form what would eventually become the Anheuser-Busch Company.
Busch traveled extensively throughout Europe in order to observe and study the latest brewing techniques. In the 1870s, Anheuser-Busch became the first American brewery to implement pasteurization, which greatly improved the shelf-life and transportability of its beers. In the mid-1800s, most Americans preferred robust, dark ales. Busch had encountered lighter lager beers during his travels and began brewing a light Bohemian lager. Anheuser-Busch introduced this lager in 1876 under the brand name Budweiser.
Budweiser and Anheuser-Busch enjoyed two decades of growth before the onset of prohibition in 1920. Anheuser-Busch had to suspend brewing of Budweiser during prohibition and launched a range of non-alcoholic products.
When prohibition came to an end in 1933, Anheuser-Busch began brewing Budweiser again. During prohibition the palate of the beer consumer had changed due to the popularization of sweeter homemade and bootlegged brews. The company dared consumers to drink Budweiser for five days, and if on the sixth day, they still preferred the taste of other beers, they could go back.
Growth was limited by economic conditions caused by the Great Depression, but thanks in part to the introduction of the metal can in 1936, Budweiser’s sales began to climb again.
During World War II, the company diverted several resources to support the war effort and relinquished its West Coast markets to conserve rail car space. After the war, Budweiser and Anheuser-Busch entered into an era of rapid growth.
August A. Busch Jr. became president of Anheuser-Busch in 1946 and began the creation of a national network of breweries. The first new brewery was opened in Newark, New Jersey in 1951, and was the first of nine to open over the course of the next 25 years.
Budweiser is available in over 80 markets.
After the 18 November 2008 InBev takeover, several cost-cutting measures that were implemented have, according to some sources, negatively affected the flavor of the beer. Whole rice grains have now been replaced by broken ones, and the high quality Hallertauer Mittelfrüh hop has been phased out. A former top AB InBev executive says the company saved about $55 million a year substituting cheaper hops in Budweiser and other U.S. beers for more expensive ones like Hallertauer Mittelfrüh.

Re: Jim's Cafe Sunday 22 June, 2014
Happy Sunday afternoon!
I'm currently watching a TV program about "extreme vacation resorts" - water parks with 100s of rides, a desert resort with indoor skiing and falling snow, a resort with mega-activities for kids, a resort in the islands with separate cabins for everyone...Previous show was about "extreme swimming pools," manufactured pools, not natural. There is one that is something like 10 storeys deep. Wow - boggles the mind.
My day is not going to be extreme (I hope). I have a good book to read, my kitty to snuggle, and crappy TV on in the background. Have been out already today so the rest is for relaxing now.
I hope everyone has a fun day! :dancing:

Although the thread is Sunday's thread because others have posted on it for mondayI shall post. Hoping I get paid today from work.The cats don't care - they got their treats and so am settling down for their post-treat nap. When or if I come back from death I want to be a house cat. The worst that happens to one is the human puts you on a diet.
happy Monday everyone.

Good morning, Café!
Star was fairly patient this morning - kisses not bites to get me up for the day! Today is going to be hot and humid here. Might get thunderstorms by the afternoon.
Major plans are to vacuum and dust. Maybe begin the slow and tedious job of pitch and toss to pare down the junk in the closets. Yay!

Have a happy Monday everyone! :jiminy_cricket:

Re: Jim's Cafe Sunday 23 June, 2014
hello everybody,
very warm day today. i think probably the warmest so far this year. well outside my comfort zone for certain. spent the day at work being irritable because of all the fluff flying around from the poplar trees on campus.
home now and sitting in front of the cool fan. will be heading over to mom's momentarily to celebrate her birthday. she wanted to eat in so that is what we are doing. barbecue at her place and I have bought some cream puffs for us for dessert. looking forward to the yummys.
i keep forgetting that I am entitled to a small amount of paid vacation time from work now and need to schedule when to take it. it doesn't really matter to me when, i won't be going anywhere, but do need to decide and give notice for the days i plan to take soon. will probably be about 1 week and a couple days off. this is strange feeling for me. i've never had a job that gave paid vacation before.

Good afternoon!
Was up and out early this a.m. Just relaxing this afternoon. Weather is wonky here - hot, humid, and the barometer is falling. My head aches each time the pressure drops. Will be fine when the weather clears!
I hope everyone has a good day today! :arms:

Good morning, Café!
Wow, I've had some sleepy days lately. Just wanting to lie curled up and doing nothing. I think it might have been the prodrome to a migraine, which arrived yesterday and is now gone. I will have to see if I'm swamped by fatigue again before a headache. I am thankfully, finally feeling "awake" (not groggy and achy) for the first time in a few days. A wonderful feeling!
Off to a meeting today in the afternoon, then dropping books off at the library. No other major plans for the day.
Happy Humpday to everyone!
