Amazon.com Inc.’s price cuts at Whole Foods, a key part of its strategy for the upscale grocer, are rocking its supermarket rivals.

Shares of Kroger Co. and Sprouts Farmers Market Inc. fell after Amazon announced that it was lowering prices on more grocery items and holiday staples.

Whole Foods also signaled that markdowns will get more aggressive as it adopts Amazon’s Prime subscription platform. The popularity of Prime threatens to give the grocer a weapon it can wield against other chains, which already have seen their shares pummeled this year.

Anheuser-Busch appears to be adding two new hard teas to its Best Damn lineup, according to labels submitted to federal regulators.

Best Damn Hard Tea Original and Best Damn Hard Tea Peach were each approved by the federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau on the final day of November, though it’s unclear when or if the drinks may be available for consumers.

According to the labels, both beverages will be available in single-serve 25-ounce cans as well as 12-ounce bottles and are at 5.5 percent alcohol-by-volume, in line with other beverages in its Best Damn hard lineup, which includes a Root Beer, Apple Ale, Cream Soda and Sweat Tea.

For folks in the beer-drinking Midwest, beer is a part of everyday life. In fact, it's likely that most of us will have a selection of beer around during holiday gatherings and family meals.

But how do you get the most of your experience by pairing the beer you have with the food you're going to serve (or eat)?

We talked with Megan Mares, trade brewer for Miller Brewing. She handles training and beer education for both employees and clients, and she offered up quite a bit of food for thought when it comes to creating great beer pairings – for the holidays or any day.
