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….
