Freebie Ends - Great Thrist Ensues



For as long as anyone could remember if you worked for Labatt - one of Canada's two largest breweries - you enjoyed a generous perk.  Free beer for life.  Yup, while employed and into retirement.  In a recent development, Labatt - which is now owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev - is cutting the retirees-off.  

How much free beer you receive depends upon where you live.  If you live in Edmonton, Alberta you get a free case of frosty Canadian lager every week.  But in a cost-cutting move intended to rein-in the over all cost of retiree benefits - including healthcare - the parent company is turning off the tap.

Sadly, the glass half full is now empty.
