Looks like Anheuser Busch is in play, as Gordon Gekko might say. InBev, a Belgium company, offered 65 bucks a share for the brewing giant.
This has the Governor of Missouri quite concerned, and he has asked the Gubmint to stop the sale.
Damn the free market! We’re keeping this American icon!
Good Lord.
This is what happens when the dollar is weak.

Mack:
Being a longtime Budaddict, (the bevvie, not the nefarious “plant material”) I say, “where’s the harm”. I mean what are they going to do, offshore it? Who else drinks the stuff, besides us? Now, if they did that with Ithaca, Anchor Steam, Fat Tire or some other palatable potable (fill in your favorite, here), then I might see a cause for concern.
I would rather they had gone for Coors instead.

Personally I say let ‘em have it. Screw big centrally produced industrial horse piss. Let 10,000 different local microwbrews collectively become the “Great American Beer”.
Given the push towards sustainable local production in other aspects of our lives, I say let Beer show us the way! : )

Jon:
Oh, I’m fine with them going away, but they can’t–their market is here. It would not make any sense to move their production outside the U.S. and it’s not likely they’ll be allowed to import labor. But, yeah, I like the microbrews, although I have a hard time doing the whole “nuance” thing with beers, or any beverage. It’s good or it’s crap– Bud, Miller, and Coors are cold and wet.
