RE: Re: Red Alert!!!

I recall having this conversation with "the" Jake Leinenkugel in college. At the time, Leinie's was still part of the Miller empire, but the entire thing was owned by Phillip Morris, of "BIG Tobacco" fame.

Asked him if the company was facing any backlash for being part of the PM family, and he said no.

Then I asked him if he's told how to run the company from the 'mother company,' as in Miller Brewing.


Again, he told me no. What Miller does, Miller does, they just wanted Leinie's to keep doing what they're doing (remain profittable) and they'd be left alone.


So it should work the other way around. What Miller does, Miller does.


And Leinie's should be left alone.
