does this mean that bud will now be brewed with real hops?
Unless they are extremely stupid or their intent was to crush AB from the start, they won't change a thing about the recipe(s)....changing the recipes to save money...Think they will dare do that to the big b?
Seriously, how do people think they will run the company?...Will it be a highly independent subsidiary of Inbev, with little or no oversight by outsiders and just pump capital into Inbev coffers with little or no changes to AB side of things or will it be a bought out brand totally controlled by Belgium?
I think this is going to cause some major poop. There are so many 'mericans that are anti-whatever right now. There will no doubt be a bunch of rumors about changed formulas, which i doubt would ever happen as mentioned above. But if I owned Busch, Miller, Coors I would be throwing a party right now, a party with homebrew... lots of belgiums!
For all the talk about Inbev's cost-cutting and the potential loss of A-B jobs here in the US, I found this interesting

InBev has almost 3x the employees of A-B, but produces only ~50% more beer?
I doubt it will change much. IMHO, they are buying Bud for their US market share, not because they admire the product. I doubt they would change the Bud product in any signifigant way for fear of losing revenue. If anything they'll probably pick up on some of Bud's manufacturing efficiencies (as outlined in post 24).
Just an added thing that I came across in my daily sports-blog-crawl: Kissing Suzy Kolber
Just something from an outsiders perspective that is pretty funny.
The buck stops here, you Brussels-strolling freaks. Im onto your game. You may take our horrible, mass-produced beer. But we will NEVER stop defacing your prized waffles with fried chicken. Take your Belgian culture and shove it up you daemon butt. Because the US of A doesnt back down from a fight. Especially one from small, helpless countries that cant defend themselves.
Would you stop drinking Budweiser if a Belgian company owned it?
