Interesting to say the least...

Yeah nothing says a brewer cares about making great beer than someone selling a caffeine infused beer to target college binge drinkers.

Anyway, I'll give Black Crown a shot if I see it on draft at one of the Canes games or if a friend offers me a bottle. I didn't think Bud's American Ale was all that bad - just could have been more.
