This thread is not about beer taste but so many thought they could just disc a good American beer, I had to chime in. We both worked with A-Bush.
You are right, they are a very high standards, very tough customer. Their beer is the No1 selling in the USA for a reason, High Quality. And everyone I ever worked with there earned their stripes.

But the AB family is kinda like the Kennedy Clan. They have their version of Teddy and some of the bad seed cousins. St Louisans consider them royalty of sorts. Personaly, I don't care for them much.

More on the topic, the company board held out, talked tough and got the stock holders $10 more per share. They ain't stupid or lazy.
In-Bev will slash and cut any fat and some philanthropy but the quality of the brew will remain. Heineken has not changed. Bud, Bush and Michelob will likely stay the same.


This thread is interesting. People complain that another American icon is being bought by a foreign interest and then brag that they drink an imported beer cause Bud ain't really a beer.

It is in most of America.

BTW the American jobs that are on the line are the upper management. You know, the ones liberals keep telling the voters, should pay more taxes. The working folks in the brewery will still be there and paying (more?) taxes
