I just dumped out the last three Bud Lights in my fridge. Good Luck Carlos Brita Water Inbev. A lifetime Bud drinker will never touch that shi* again. I would rather drink out of a urinal at the Schlafly brewery. Hard to believe a brewery in one of the tiniest most insignificant countries in Europe was able to buy the King of Beers. Belgium, are you freaking serious? Can you even fly to there direct from the US? Hey at least it wasn’t Luxembourg I guess. Can’t wait to see the Bud beer truck being pulled by a Fiat and a poodle on top. Can I adopt a Clydesdale before they go the glue factory?

Rick Martin, you don’t have your facts straight. Not long after South African Breweries bought Miller and renamed the company SABMiller, foreign brewery Molson merged with Coors and it became MolsonCoors. Get your facts straight, Rick.

So if you drink Coors, you are NOT supporting an American-owned company, and worse you are supporting one that has virtually zero jobs here, at the expense of a company that, at least for now, has thousands of jobs here. You may be angry and want to do SOMETHING in response to this happening, but do the right thing, not something that will hurt us even more. The Busch family did not want this to happen. The stockholders are what pressured them into this decision, and much of the stock is owned by you and me, via our union pensions or our 401(k) plans that we check so often to see if the value has gone up. It’s called the American way, for better or for worse.

It’s a shame for St. Louis. Too bad Busch sold so many shares over the years. It was a matter of time until someone out voted them.
I’m not impressed with the strategy of this purchase. Investors purchased AB stock knowing the company was good at marketing and was generous with its compensation plans. Now they may sell out and changing culture and lifestyles forever.
I doubt Brito sells more beer than the Busch family or anyone else.
And anyone can cut cuts. Now Inbev’s shareholders get saddled with billions of debt service. This transaction is all about Brito’s backers lining their pockets.

Will AB Inbev be broken into parts again in 10 years?

what ever Brito says is just to make him look good. He doesn’t care that so many businesses have already left St.Louis. He doesn’t care that its a locally owned. I can’t understand why people don’t understand the importance of this. This is another American business gone to foreign companies. What if the there was a new owner of the Cardinals and he decided to take it and move the team to Idaho? would that get your blood a boiling? Its just the same with this Brito guy. Brito will never be the King of Beers, he has a long way to go to earn that title.

Carlos Brito for St. Louis Mayer - finally a person who can get things done in St. Louis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let’s not portray Bud with the violins playing and the flag waving in the background…it is a Business,and as such,exists for one thing..to make as much $$$ as possible…the All American thing is pure marketing,like drinking Bud is patriotic..give me a break..it uses the flag to advance it’s own agenda…make the $$$…as a former,now retired,union Bud delivery man,I can tell you the last two Busch chiefs had very little regard for the guys that delivered their beer..in their eyes, we were “overpaid and underworked”..don’t confuse their multi-million $$ ads for what has been the reality.

Miller was bought by South African Brewery to form SABMiller. Coors merged with Molson to form CoorsMolson and just this month merged with SABMiller to form MillerCoors. So Miller and Coors are both foriegned owned, A-B was the last major brewer to fall. The weak dollar had more to do with this deal than any management decision the Busch family made.

No, it will not be good for St. Louis.
