Be sure to check out this story at the mother ship about U.S. Sen Claire McCaskill’s meeting today with InBev chief Carlos Brito.

The piece, by PD Washington scribe Deirdre Shesgreen, includes this great nugget:

“I was very upfront,” McCaskill said of her discussion with Brito. After offering him a Budweiser and sipping one herself, she told him she would “do everything I could to stop this sale from going through … It’s a bad idea. I don’t want you to buy it. The people of Missouri don’t want you to buy it.”

Speaking to reporters after, McCaskill blasted the proposal as a “premium profit for hedge fund investors” and said A-B is a strong company that has provided thousands of good middle class American jobs.

“We do not have a ‘For Sale’ sign on our front lawn in America,” she said.

Bud in the refrigerator — who knew Capitol Hill was such a festive place to work?
