'Who Would You Have a Beer With?'

If you could have a beer with anyone, who would it be? Renowned filmmaker Spike Lee has teamed up with the beer industry to ask adult beer drinkers this provocative question.

In phase two of the industry development campaign led by Anheuser-Busch, the leading U-S brewer will debut a series of television ads directed by Lee, featuring vignettes of celebrities discussing who they would have a beer with if they had the chance. The ads were created by D-D-B Chicago and produced by Lee's production company, Forty Acres and A Mule Filmworks.

The first ad in the series, which debuts this weekend, features Spike Lee raising a glass to famed Brooklyn Dodger Jackie Robinson.

Though Most Rate Their Skills as Average, Americans' Love Affair With Grilling Grows

Although the majority of outdoor grill owners (fifty-four percent) grill year round, and seventy percent grill at least once a week, most grillers (sixty-six percent) rate their skills as "average," according to the 17th Annual Weber GrillWatch(TM) Survey.

However, almost one in four men (twenty-three percent) are more satisfied with their personal grilling skills, saying that they are "better than most." Women aren't quite as confident: Only twelve percent say they are "better than most."
