Hello,
I understand the SABMiller brew co. owns many breweries here in the States and in Europe. Can you tell me the breweries and beers of this company? Thank You.

I could, George, but you're better off getting it from the horse's mouth:
After having another terrible sinus headache last night from drinking Miller Light I decided to look and see if anyone else has this problem. I saw Steff's post from July and realized I could have written it! I have the exact same symptoms. It usually doesn't matter if I have one or six beers, I get the WORST sinus headache and it usually won't go away until I sleep for a few hours. I don't drink to excess so I know it's not a hangover. I only drink Miller Light beer so I am wondering if I switched to a different type it would help. I prefer not to drink liquor or wine. Since Sam Adams Light isn't sold at every bar, I was wondering if you know any other similar types of beer that I could drink that contain natural ingredients. It would be really helpful! Thanks!

Stick to craft-brewed beer, Jenny, which is usually made very simply with only natural ingredients. You might not find a Sam Light everywhere, but you should be able to find a light-tasting craft brew to quench your thirst. And if calories are a concern, look for beers with low alcohol contents.
Hi, I've been trying to locate a distributor in the US that carries Desperados. If it's not sold in the US, is there a problem with ordering it from a Canadian store and having it sent by mail? Or would I have to pick it up in person? Thanks.

I'm afraid that Desperados has not made to the States because it is flavoured with actual tequila, Gloria, and under the rules of your country, that's illegal. You can always get some from Canada, of course, but I'm afraid you'll have to come and get it yourself since I know of no company willing to ship beer stateside.
