I heard that Namibia Breweries is due > to stop making Heineken and it's going to SAB? :-) 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. :-) Uwe -- 95% of all programmers rate themselves among the top 5% of all software developers. - Linus Torvalds http://www.uwix.iway.na (last updated: 20.06.2004) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
