Guest Drink More Beer Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Does anyone care whether Budweiser is bought by a foreign company? Do you consider Bud a cultural icon? I do. There was a buzz at the St. Louis Brewers Heritage Festival that Belgian brewer InBev is planning a $46 billion takeover bid for Anheuser-Busch. I hope the government stops this. InBev brews Stella Artois. Maybe I should pick up some Bud longnecks later on, while it is still American. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Luke Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 The editorial team at the St Louis Post spoke for many locals this week in voicing its alarm at reports that InBev, the world's biggest brewer, was preparing a bid for its US rival. "Over the last 20 years, St Louis has lost the headquarters of its major hometown banks, its hometown airline, its hometown aerospace company," said the newspaper. "All of these losses have taken some getting used to. But losing the brewery? With all of its roots, all of its involvement, all of its identity? That would be wrenching."
