Anheuser-Busch Agrees to be bought.

An interesting development that I've been paying close attention to over the past few weeks, is the attempted buy out of Anheuser-Busch by In-Bev an enormous Belgian Distributor. Today, the top dogs at Anheuser-Busch agreed to be bought at the tidy sum of close to 50 billion dollars. That means America's leading brand (for reasons unknown to this avid drinker), Budweiser will be owned by the distributors of Stella Artois, and Becks. I guess the only question that comes to my mind, is will it actually make Budweiser and Bud Light taste any better? I doubt it. If it weren't for the possibility of people being laid off, I was kind of hoping In-Bev would just get rid of the Bud products all together.

The merger will create the largest beer distributor known to man, and a few women as well. The Florida based Theme Parks of Busch Gardens, Sea World Orlando, Adventure Island will also be owned by the giant Belgian conglomerate.
