Sure shipping would cost more than the lager. But what the heck!

No way Namibia Breweries is going to SAB!!!! SAB might be the second largest 
brewery in the world but they still make junk beer. Even Pilsner Urquell has 
become less good since SAB bought them.

As for Heineken, I don't know whether they are going to stop making it, and I 
don't care. It isn't really good beer. BTW, there is a funny little story 
about it. When Namibia Breweries started to make Heineken, it turned out 
better than the original. So the good boys from Heineken got their collective 
butts over to Namibia to study the brewing process here. Afterwards, they 
changed their brewing back home according to what they learnt here. :-)
