Well, that'll do it. I'll never drink another A-B product as long as I live. Belgians should have fucked off. Thank God for Boulevard!

No, we still have Dogfish Head.

 

[Ilmater]

Yeah, but all the big breweries are gone.

Sam Adams (Boston Beer Company) is American damn it!

LOL! Welcome to a globalized world my friends! Better them than some Chinese company.

Want the trend to stop? Stregthen the Dollar. Until then, American companies are cheap buys.

I personally am all for a free market and hate AB beer products anyway.

lol, great in what way?

Chinese beer isn't that bad, I actually like Tsing Tao a different flavor thats all + I'm sure they aren't going to change the recipe, because Americans like bad beer. Think about it, Belgians make the best beers, I don't think it will be a bad thing.

LOL! Why would they kill the drinks that made the company a good buy in the first place? In an investment.

Well if you paid attention you'd know that a french company now owns 52% of what is now known as Activision Blizzard. They used to fully own a bunch studios including Blizzard, but Vivendi Games merged with Activision, and now its Activision Blizzard under 52% control of Vivendi.

In reality consolidation is a fact of life. MillerCoors jointly owned by SAB and Molson merged to save on costs. It is reported they would save $500million in distribution costs in the first year alone.

InBev wants AB because AB has the largest distribution market in NA, InBev has the largest distribution network in Europe. Anhauser Bush InBev will totally dominate the globabl market.

The Bud line of beers will be their "flagship" product. They will contine to hock that horse piss along side their beers they bring over from Europe. All will be made in the USA.

Make better products and your companies will be too expensive for anyone to buy, frankly, AB products suck ass, I can't believe what some Americans consider to be good beer, tastes like rat piss.
