InBev to buy InBev to buy Anheuser-Busch for $52B  | |  So, I just saw the news that a Belgian company is going to be buying InBev to buy Anheuser-Busch for $52 billion. I don't honestly drink, and if I did it wouldn't be beer, but it is interesting and that is a lot of money. I guess a lot of p[eople must like beer... 
So, beer drinkers and people who just like to follow large amounts of money what do you think? Was this a wise investment for InBev? Are you worried that your favorite beer will change?

Plus, some higher ups in AB wanted some spots on the new AB-Inbev board. For Inbev, this was likely a great move. I haven't read all the details but I assume they'll now have access to Bud's breweries and, more importantly, distribution lanes. It makes Inbev the world's biggest brewer. Yeah, they enjoyed it.
A lot of people do like beer; unfortunately it's not good beer. I doubt that Budweiser beers will change. Like their brewer, the beers have no heart. Just a corporation in a bottle.
Drink a craft beer from a local brewery and forget about the big boys.

| GrayHunter (24) | 2 months ago | Yes, it's been serious since at least February or March this year. I think InBev has tried this in the past with A-B but they rebuffed the offer. Times change. | |

| DarkDancer (538) | 2 months ago | It would be pretty dumb of them to change the beer, people who like it wouldn't be happy most likely. | |

| DarkDancer (538) | 2 months ago | I also don't drink, so it doesn't affect me either, at least not in the direct sort of way. However, if they start (I don't think they will) laying off a bunch of people then that could affect me, albeit indirectly. | |
