Anheuser-Busch has officially been taken over by InBev which some might find more familiar as the brewer of Stella. Yes thats right……the American dream team of “premium” beers has been taken over by a foreign company. Will my beloved Clydesdale’s be substituted for german beer wenches? That I might not complain about and while the US operations of this company and its employees are supposed to remain intact in my mind it just frustrates me. Other than a nice full bodied bud when playing beer pong I really don’t seem to drink that much of their products but it was an American company producing American beer which I have 100% support for. 52billion dollars are swapping hands on this deal and while I would love to see some new beers in the local grocery store I can’t help but shed a tear for this. Almost 150 years ago Anheuser-Busch was bought and 16 years later the first budweiser was produced. Thats over 130 years of budweiser coming from an American company and I think this should be a day of mourning. Just one more thing we lost control of no matter how insignifigant it will end up  being.
