Some years ago Doyle's, the venerable bar in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, MA, USA, came under new management, which decided to go for a more upscale clientele. It got rid of the riffraff by ceasing to serve Budweiser. N.B. This is not mere pubcrawlers' scuttlebutt. It was spread upon the minutes in an extensive interview with the new owner that was published in the Boston _Globe_ and put up among other memorabilia in the corridor outside the restrooms. I presume that Anheuser-Busch had no comment.

Last time I was there, I saw (IIRC) that Bud Lite, but not Bud proper, had appeared on the menu. Mission accomplished, I suppose.
