#Pumpkinpeachale: The Best of the Tweets

The cyberfued between craft beer and Budweiser (see my previous post for the amusing, yet disconcerting backstory) is still going strong, with craft beer responding to #beerthehardway by reclaiming Bud's intended insult and using #pumpkinpeachale to rally back. Most of the responses have been both poignant and humorous, just the way like my points of retaliation. Here are some of my favorite tweets on the topic (both with and without the peach hashtag) so far:

@TCB17: Our beer is brewed for people who hate beer, or just don't know better. #Budweiser #pumpkinpeachale
 
@HopsCanary: Hey @ElysianBrewing @10barrelbrewing @GooseIsland your Daddy said some mean stuff about you tonight. Off your Xmas list? @budweiser

@beerguypdx: I'm telling ya, I suddenly got a mighty powerful cravin' for some #pumpkinpeachale! Yes, indeed! #craftbeer

@BrewStuds: #CraftBeer Nation, don't be shocked at the #Budweiser attack ad. They've been egregiously assaulting craft since their crown fell off #SB49
 
 @instabeerreview: Someone please make a beech barrel aged peach pumpkin beer! #BoycottBudweiser
 
There have also been a couple of parody videos, which are far less mean spirited than they could be (cheers to Craft For being the bigger "person"). 

The most popular vids so far have been the following from Hopstories, and Abita Brewing Co., respectively.
