With the sale of Anheuser-Busch, and AB becoming Anheuser-Busch InBev and the largest brewery in the world, Boston Beer Company is now the largest American owned brewery. Go ahead and support your country and the new new craft beer "Big 3", Boston Beer Company(Sam Adams), Sierra Nevada, and New Belgium. Cheers!
InBev to Buy Anheuser-Busch, Gains Top Market Share QUOTE July 14 (Bloomberg) -- InBev NV agreed to buy Anheuser- Busch Cos. in a $52 billion transaction that will make the Belgian company the top brewer in the world's five biggest beer markets.
The $70-a-share purchase announced today will give Leuven, Belgium-based InBev the biggest share in China, the U.S., Russia, Brazil and Germany, making it the world's largest brewer with the size to negotiate lower prices on everything from hops to electricity. InBev gains Anheuser's half share of the U.S. market, the industry's largest, as well as top-selling Bud Light and Budweiser. ``This is really the only vehicle for them to enter into the U.S.,'' Trevor Stirling, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. in London, said in a Bloomberg Television interview. ``This seems to be a deal that's good for both sides.'' The combined company will exceed $36 billion in annual revenue, 85 percent more than InBev's 2007 sales. The transaction follows SABMiller Plc's agreement to combine its U.S. businesses with Molson Coors Brewing Co. as U.S. industry sales approach $100 billion, according to Euromonitor Plc. InBev will surpass SABMiller as the world's top seller of alcoholic beverages with about 17 percent of the 174 billion- liter market after the purchase is completed later this year. ``This is about giving InBev a U.S. presence and this is the most effective way they can see to achieve that,'' said Grant Saligari, a beverage industry analyst at Commonwealth Securities Ltd. in Sydney. ``Consumers are very emotionally attached to their beers. A peaceful deal helps maintain that.'' InBev Chief Executive Officer Carlos Brito will become the combined company's CEO, and Anheuser-Busch CEO August A. Busch IV and another current or former director of the U.S. company will join the board. -------------------- Beers that I have had, updated July 5th, 2009: 1,548

QUOTE (THECHICKEN @ Jul 17 2008, 12:05 PM)  go back and read it guy, thats all i have to say I did. You quoted me first in post #19. Don't quote me, and take out that first sentence and we'd have had no problems whatsoever. And the second sentence was redundant. We're all here to give our opinions, but don't expect me not to respond when you diss mine for no reason. |

I was merely quoting yours and saying it could be taken the opposite way, wasn't trying to make a big thing of it. At least i know where you got the "light beer is shit" thing from lol. heh -------------------- |

Jim,
Try a blue moon -------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
