...really been this kind of organized gay-themed tour before, and its very existence, during what many urban crusaders consider a postgay era - a "whatever" age in which identity politics are on the wane - seems quaint and comforting. When the Indigo Girls hit the stage for True Colors at Radio City Music Hall recently, their set of barnstorming folk brought back warm memories of early 1990s pink-triangle-bedecked marches, a period when the movement seemed in overdrive...

But it is certainly the most famous, an iconic American brand backed by one of the largest advertising budgets on earth. Nearly half of all American beer is brewed by A-B.
