There is one other warm drink I can think of. Can't recall the name but it was great for clearing the sinus.

3/4 ounce of Grand Marnier
3/4 ounce of Conjac (sp?)
mixed in larger brandy snifter
heat over open flame

as brining up to sip, the nose is right in the glass, take a deep breath just before sipping and you'll clear things right out.

Watch it Monkey Butt, Guiness is good stuff...that nice, rich creamy taste.
Of course, it is not the same as what we all know as beer. But that's ok. You serve beer really cold on a hot day, out of an icy cooler if you go fishing or to the ball park. That's when it's best. Rich, creamy Guiness is best for when you are sitting and relaxing. Maybe in a bar or in front of the TV. It's a classier drink. And it's very good. You don't guzzle 12 of them back to back. You enjoy them slowly.

Coors is currently in the midst of buying/merging with SABMiller, I believe.

UPDATE

Budweiser brewer rejects takeover

Anheuser-Busch, the brewer best known for Budweiser, has rejected a $46.3bn (£23.3bn) takeover offer from its Belgian-Brazilian rival InBev.
Its board said the offer undervalued the company, but added that it was open to consider any proposals that would provide full value to its shareholders.
Anheuser-Busch's board said the offer also failed to take into account its "Blue Ocean" cost-cutting initiative.
But the company's shares still traded well below the $65 a share offered.
They closed in New York at $61.35 and rose to $61.90 in after-hours trading after the bid was rejected.
InBev is the world's second largest brewer, with brands such as Stella Artois and Beck's, and if the takeover were to be successful it would take over the number one spot from SAB Miller. There was manoeuvring by InBev during the day that suggested it might be prepared to attempt to bypass Anheuser-Busch's board. The company filed a case in a Delaware court to confirm the ability of shareholders to remove the current directors.

They could just buy the required shares on the open market as the difference in selling price on the open market and what they're offering ($3 more per share).

Don't know what "Poison Pill" provisions are in place to avoid just such a transaction from allowing that to happen.

UPDATE


Stella firm buys Budweiser brewer

The US brewer Anheuser-Busch has agreed to be taken over by Belgium-based InBev, in a move that will create the world's largest beer maker.
The $52bn (£26bn) takeover bid by InBev, which makes Stella Artois beer, was accepted by Anheuser's board.
The combined company will now be called Anheuser-Busch InBev.
Anheuser makes Budweiser - the most popular beer in the US - and some US politicians had expressed anger at the prospect of a foreign takeover.

'Unrivalled brands'
In a concession to political concerns about the deal, Budweiser's headquarters will remain in St Louis, Missouri while none of Anheuser's US breweries will be closed.

COMBINED BRAND MENU
Stella, Budweiser, Beck's, Hoegaarden, Leffe, Brahma, Staropramen, Michelob, Rolling Rock

InBev is offering to pay $70 a share for Anheuser in a deal which must be approved by shareholders of both businesses.
The combined business will have annual sales of $36.4bn, equivalent to 46 billion litres of beer a year.
It will bring a host of popular brands including Beck's, Hoegaarden and Staropramen - in addition to Budweiser and Stella - under one roof.
InBev, itself formed by a giant merger several years ago, described the deal as "historic".
"Together, Anheuser-Busch and InBev will be able to accomplish much more than each can on its own," said InBev boss Carlos Brito, who will become chief executive of the new firm.
"This combination will create a stronger, more competitive global company with an unrivalled worldwide brand portfolio and distribution network, with great potential for growth all over the world."
Anheuser boss August Busch said the transaction would "enhance global market access for Budweiser, one of America's truly iconic brands".

Job concerns
There are widespread fears that the deal will lead to substantial job losses in the US Midwest at a time while the threat of recession is hanging over the economy.
The two firms have said the deal will generate annual savings of $1.5bn but have suggested that job losses will be kept to a minimum because there is little current overlap between the two businesses.
Anheuser currently controls nearly half of the US market, while InBev is strong in Western European and Latin American markets. Anheuser also owns stakes in Mexican brewer Grupo Modelo and Chinese brewer Tsingtao.
The deal should give Budweiser a platform to boost its growth in Europe where, apart from a number of markets like the UK, it has been relatively weak. The beer market has been rapidly consolidating in the face of cost pressures and declining sales in many mature markets. Scottish & Newcastle, the UK's largest brewer, was recently bought out by Heineken and Carlsberg.
