The End.
It has happened. Anheuser-Busch has agreed to InBev’s acquisition offer of $52 billion. The King is dying and will be dead by year’s end. Thank you, Budweiser, for all the good times. I will keep you in my heart, but no longer in my stein. The sale to the Belgian-Brazilian beer slingers is an affront to patriotic Bud drinkers all over America.
This deal leaves America without a macro-brewer all her own. Miller (disgusting) is owned by the South Africans. Coors, in partnership with the Canucks. So I say fare thee well, I am sure the communists in asia and the fascists in Russia will treat you right. I, however, will from this day forward pour my affections out of a Firestone bottle.
Ahh, what was and what could have been….
One final tribute:
