The company behind Bud Light- Anheuser-Busch, first backed away with the idea of ‘invading’ Nevada Air Force base. However, a recent Twitter feed indicated that they would like to “offer free Bud Light to any alien that makes it out of the planned raid. Stay tuned for more information about this “raid”.

Lastly, No 4. Woody Notes- fantastic when paired with Bourbon, straight Rye Whiskey and Spiced Rum. There is much to be explored when using these new “Dark Mixers for Dark Spirits”.
