I don't understand marketing (but then I'm an engineer...), but whatever
drives the powers that be who decide what products continue to be
available or quietly fades away... well, I don't understand that,
either! What I do understand is that my favorite brand is no longer
available in the Southeast, and will probably die altogether in 2004.
That, according to Eagle Rock Distributing, Inc., the Anheuser-Busch
distributor here in Gwinnett County. I emailed them to find out what was
going on when Bud Dry suddenly disappeared from the beer coolers at the
local Kroger's, Ingle's, and other grocers. Mr. Steve Craine,
President of Eagle Rock, gave me the bad news. Thanks for the response,
Steve, but I reserve the right to not like it!
