Major Brew Merger in the Works?


Stories from around the globe are telling of a potential merger between InBev and Anheuser-Busch. Who the hell is InBev you ask? Well, InBev is the Belgian brewer responsible for such beers as Stella Artois and Becks.

Read about it here, on MSNBC

Oh, and apparently it would be bad for Mexicans. That comes from the International Herald Tribune.

Hoegaarden is legitimately a delicious beer.
This sounds like a better deal for U.S. Americans. Europe is littered with great beers. They can probably do without lime flavored bud light.

right, and anheiser-busch (BUD) owes its lime flavoured drinks to the unsafe sanitizing practices of early corona and other mexican beers. the citric acid originally is why limes were place in the top of the glass, to kill off any lingering funky mexican bacteria, you know, so you didn't get a funky mouth infection. on a related note, virtual unknown brewer inbev's rumor to be purchasing 'the king' has driven BUD stock up some $10 since mid april. cheers.
