Barley Blog - Commentary on Quality Beer

InBev Makes it Official

By BarleyBlog | June 12th, 2008 | Notes

As of June 11, Anheuser-Busch has officially received an offer from InBev for buy out at $65 per share in cash. CNBC is reporting that A-B is weighing it’s options and “…any talks with Belgian brewer InBev should be based on shareholder value rather than the Busch family’s legacy…” Sounds to me as though some folks within A-B are willing to entertain the offer. We’ll see how it plays out.

I’m against these big beer mergers. They can only mean bad things for smaller breweries. Who’s next? Will some of the bigger craft breweries be sucked up next? Sam Adams? New Belgium?
