ST. LOUIS — Anheuser-Busch InBev stock prices are inching closer to what they were last year before sales tanked, thanks at least in part to a recent endorsement by former President Donald Trump. Trump praised the company on social media on Tuesday, helping push Anheuser-Busch stock prices up about $2, or almost 3%, that day. And they have continued to increase, closing at $65.61 on Thursday, close to last year’s high of $67.09 a share. Still, experts say it is too early to tell if Trump’s seal of approval will impact beer sales. “It will be interesting to see if there is any improvement,” Dav......

For the first time in almost a year since atragic holiday boat crash killed their daughter and critically injured another teen, the parents of Luciana Fernandez are speaking out. They’re criticizing the investigation and misdemeanor charges after the Biscayne Bay crash over the 2022 Labor Day weekend. The final report on the crash from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the state agency that investigates most boat accidents, was released Friday — it concluded boat operator and owner George Pino wasn’t under the influence of alcohol when he crashed his vessel into a fixed ch......

Iconic San Francisco beer maker Anchor Brewing Co. has shut down production, ending a 127-year run for what's considered to be America's first craft brewery. Known for its complex ales, Anchor Brewing is owned by Tokyo-based Sapporo Holdings — which also is the parent company of Escondido's Stone Brewing. The closure does not signal a change in Sapporo's strategy of making the U.S. a growth driver for its beer business, according to the company. "Anchor Brewing's plans to cease operations are unique to Anchor's business only," said Maria Stipp, chief executive of Stone Brewing. "Plans set fort......

Right-wing activist Kyle Rittenhouse promoted his planned attendance at an event at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas. But that Wednesday night appearance has been nixed. “You guys aren’t going to wanna miss out on this one!” Rittenhouse tweeted Sunday evening. Rittenhouse’s excited Sin City announcement came shortly after a Texas brewery pulled the plug on the 20-year-old gunman, who famously killed two unarmed men at a 2020 Black Lives Matter protest in southern Wisconsin. A first-come-first-serve open bar was promised on a “gun rights” flier Rittenhouse posted again Monday with further detai......

During the COVID-19 pandemic, dozens of states have given a boost to struggling restaurants by allowing them to sell cocktails to-go, through takeout, curbside pickup or home delivery. But the expansion of alcohol to-go laws has placed a heavy burden on understaffed alcohol enforcement agencies, which have been hard-pressed to prevent underage drinking. Before the changes, agents had to make sure servers and bartenders were properly trained, checking photo IDs and not serving intoxicated patrons. Now, agents also must check whether restaurants and bars are placing cocktails to-go in the proper......

MIAMI — Tony Haber had grabbed a six-pack of Mi Cristal beer at a Latin grocery store in Miami when an older customer in line pointed at his purchase and scolded him. The beer in his hand, Mi Cristal, was owned by the Cuban government, the man insisted. And he yelled at Haber with increasing ferocity that he was propping up Cuba’s communist regime with his purchase. Customers turned to watch. The cashier froze. Haber had no choice but to leave the beer and hurry out of the store. He did it even though he knew something the customer didn’t: The beer he was buying was his own. Haber is the owner......
