Rolling Rock is way better than Miller Mud, Spudwieser or Coors Rocky Mountain Runoff, its only problem is that is soooooooooooo watered down to have almost no flavor. Thats to me why its so popular with certain higher income bracket posers who want to look like they drink the cool microbrew type stuff but cant actually hack a beer with real flavor! Give'em something real like a Red Tail Ale and watch them gag! Posers!

Now who took me Guinness! Thats a Man's beer!

Have to disagree with you about Miller Lite and Coors Lite being the worst beer out there. Ever tasted Rolling Rock? Should have been left in the horse!![:D]

Toyomantrains - where have you been hiding?

Chris - why do the Coors tank cars have so much rust on them? They go by here pretty regularly and you can always spot a Coors train - white and rusted tankers! Tell Coors to repaint them!

Ya, I don't know about the "Miller Brewery", but here in Lacrosse one of our customers is the City Brewery. Guess they make Smirnoff and a whole bunch of other brands.
The BIG THREE:
1. Nike
2. Miller
3. BNSF

Joe,

You are correct, no BNSF tracks to the Miller Brewery in Milwaukee. The CP does the switching at the Miller plant. Just took the brewery tour a couple of months ago. Great tour but the we could go see the big kettles due to some repairs. Beer, Beer, everywhere. Also Miller just celebrated 150th Anniversary with the "Big Brew-Ha" at Miller Park. With the Goo-Goo Dolls and Bon Jovi headlining the entertainment.

Nope, no similiarity to me. One is a beer and the other is a Publicly Owned and Traded on the NYSE transportation company which does a rather fine job.

It would have to be a merger with MRL then.....it dosen't share any letters with BNSF, UP, CP, CN, CSX, or NS........

Hmmmmm lessee MILLER and BNSF....If we take the third line out of the Capital letter "M" and squi***he rest together we get an "N" and if we take the bottom line out of the "E" we get an "F". Then we can take those two lines and add them to the bottome of the "R" which will convert it into a "B" and then if we tear apart the "L's" and add the lines to the remaining "I" we can use the five line segments to form a letter "S" and if we then put the letters in the right sequence we will have BNSF ....so yeah, I guess MILLER and BNSF might be a one-to-one mapping and be conformable....why?
