Anheuser-Busch is buyout target...

[Uncle Cracker]

Circle the wagons, boys... Word is that European brewer InBev SA has offered $46bil cash for Anheuser-Busch. Is nothing sacred???

Perhaps they can show A-B how to make a decent beer.

[fbrend123]

A-B makes beer? I thought it was colored water.

[LinuxRandal]

Could it be with things like corn/flour, etc. going up, and the barley shortage, they are trying to find out how to use less ingrediants (cost), and still make money?

[dbhost]

Nope, A/B has made psuedo beer that is the same color going in as out for decades...

First off I drink very little beer anymore. Secondly, I haven't had a Budweiser since they went on strike way back in the early 70's. Ever since whenever I tried it it tasted awful and just one beer would give me a headache. Something changed in their brewing from what I understand (rumors from back then?).
That being said, it is kind of a shame for another US company to be bought up by a foreign company. But that seems to be the way of the world these days. Most bigger companies around the world are owned by people from other countries or consortiums from various countries. At least it is a company from Belgium. The beer I have had there is good.

And with the US dollar being so devalued nowadays against foreign currencies, foreign companies are snapping up our domestic holdings for what amounts to a song...

They should hold out for a few billion more if that includes the Clydesdales.

The way some people knock back the suds, I think so.

[sparkeyjames]

Give me a Molsen Canadian anytime. Bud and it's ilk are terrible. I don't think this sale will happen. Of course that depends on just how greedy the shareholders are.

You're kidding, right? Embrace your inner Gordon Gekko. The $46B cash is sacred!!

But all it is is 46 billion strips of newsprint, they way things are heading. Heard yesterday that the government of Abu Dhabi is closing a deal to buy the Chrysler Building in NYC... I had to turn off the TV so I wouldn't puke... And now Australia, the UK and Japan are loudly blaming our rotten economy for the problems with theirs...
