That about does it for large scale american owned breweries.

Miller owns by SAB
Coors owns by Molson

heard about this for a while...

of course, I can't complain, because I'm not a fan of mass market american beers...

Negotiations were on going, but A-B tried to fight it off by acquiring more of Modelo, however, it didn't work.

A-B already did the majority of the importing of Inbev products, so not sure what this will mean.

Hopefully, the price of Beck's and Stella will come down.

Sweetwater is still made in Athens, in a small-ish brewery. I'm A-OK.

Maybe now we'll have a quality product from AB, who knows? $:-\$

makes sense, stella is the bud of europe

Not a bud fan. Hopefully, they will improve the product.

NOOOO, AB or another American firm is suppose to go around buying other breweries.

Sad to see an American icon changing hands...Think of all the AB comercials...many of them are very patriotic.

FYI, it's MillerCoors now

A few of my local DMFs work over at the Ft Worth plant. The merge went down a week or two ago

I don't think that will change

Then it wouldn't be Budweiser.

Apparently, it used to be far better, pre WWII.
