Bill Gates the brewer

Mr Microsoft has gone into beer. Before you start ruminating about Cellarman being bundled in with Microsoft Office (there's a thought), Mr Gates has bought 3% of Mexican brewer FEMSA. FEMSA brews the lagers Sol, Dos Equis, Bohemia, Tecate and Carta Blanca, and although Mr Gates is unlikely to be turning a malt shovel or digging out a mash tun, he must see the value in investing in brewing and breweries. $392m worth of value.

In the meantime, I've invested in a new mouse for my computer, and a new fleece for visiting breweries. Funnily enough, both were bought using Microsoft Internet Explorer. What is it they say about 7 degrees of separation?
