Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, Warren Buffett is stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway after making a lot of people a lot of money.
Then Elon Musk's rocket base in South Texas has gotten so big, it's officially become its own city. It's Monday, May 5th. Let's ride.
Good morning and happy Cinco de Mayo. When you're out sipping a spicy margarita later, do not tell anyone it's Mexico's Independence Day. That's in September. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the defeat of French forces by the Mexican army at the Battle of Puebla in 1862 and is mostly celebrated now in the United States by people of Mexican descent honoring their heritage.
Of course, beer companies have a lot to do with its popularity. In the 1980s, they began to leverage Cinco de Mayo in marketing campaigns, turning it into an unofficial national drinking holiday.
Yeah, now Mexico accounts for about 30% of all global beer exports and ships more than double the amount of beer as any other country. And of course, a lot of that beer ends up across the border. 97% end up in the United States. And Modelo is the top selling beer in America, not the top Mexican imported beer, the top beer in America where it's been since it surpassed Bud Light back in 2023.
So and now a word from our sponsor, Plant It Out. Neil, you ever watch one of those cooking shows where they take a plain old dish and somehow turn it into something magnificent?
Don't I ever. I've seen them drizzle a balsamic reduction over a grilled cheese and boom, I could see myself at a fine dining establishment.
