Of the top "controllers" beer I drink none, my consumption being limited to craft beer and my own home brew. So, for me, they control nothing. Furthermore, their "control" doesn't seem to prevent craft beers' growth. So, is it control at all? In the end the consumer controls what they consume, not beer companies. Were only Bud and the like available, I would avoid beer altogether in favor of wine and my own home brewed beer. So much for the beer companies control!
