This whole thing sucks. I don't even drink anymore but I live in STL. AB is the identity of our town. This just sucks for us.

So this deal has gone through. I don't know how the brewer of Stella Artois can afford to buy the biggest beer company in the world.

first off, sorry about that whole "ab being the identity of your town" business.

but this is how it goes now, right? america is owned by foreign countries and businesses.
although, inbev paid a hefty premium - 25% over AB's previous highest ever stock price.
i read they were gonna keep AB in STL, but people gotta be worried - inbev is known for aggressive cost cutting.

This was considered a "HOSTILE TAKEOVER" or as Phil Anselmo might say a "FUCKING HOSTILE" TAKEOVER.

Maybe they'll change Budweiser into beer now.

They are known as "Fat Trimmers". One big problem is that AB contributes shit tons of money to charities in our town. InBev has no recorded charity donations on record for last year.

Shitty brand of beer + Another shitty brand of beer = A Buyout?

Craziness. It doesnt add up.
