I happen to very strongly agree with you about Bud Lite but I would like to give you two pieces of information I doubt you have.
1. AB has invested in microbreweries that also make good beer (i.e. not with the AB names of Budweiser and Michelob.)
2. The "keep the Eagle flying" comment refers to a specific thing. The AB logo is has Eagle in it and on a building off US 40 in STL is a neon sign of the AB logo and the eagle periodically takes wing as if flying. The author is not referring to America in that comment.
(I lived in STL for 28 years before I was able to escape)
