A-B may “C” cuts

Posted on July 15th, 2008 by beerschoolblog

OK ~ So you’ve all probably heard about this company InBev that purchased Anheuser Busch for 52 billion dollars. We weren’t going to blog about this because 1) It’s all over the place and people probably already know a lot more about it than we do and 2) It doesn’t really have a ton to do with what we’re trying to accomplish with the ol bloggings :) But hey, if someone comments about something and asks our opinion, we will answer. We’re all about you….the students :: or something like that. Anyhoo, here’s CH’s comment

So, I’m curious what the Beer School Blog thinks of A-B being purchased by InBev in Belgium…? They say they will keep everything the same for ‘The King of Beers,” but will they really? And is that a good thing? Do you even care, because chances are, you haven’t had a Bud in years. HA!

Well CH - first, thanks for the comment. We won’t say much about the ins and outs of the buy out because frankly, we don’t know a lot about the specifics. We will say this….ahem…throat clear…… IF the InBev buy out of A-B helps to further their fine products and “unlock Budweiser’s potential in countries where the beer is not widely available” we’re all for it. IF a bunch of nice folks lose their jobs because of it. That kinda sucks :: Buy outs always produce change, here’s to hoping the changes at A-B are for the good.

Dang, might go pick us up a sixer of Bud (regular) ~ we’re feeling all sentimental
