InBev sucks!
The article is a bunch of speculation that say it probably won't happen due to antitrust laws. Are they going to try? Maybe. The article doesn't have a lot of actual information just trying to get beer people to click and freak out.
ALARMING HEADLINE
A couple paragraphs consisting of a mixture of speculation and reasons why the headline is bull****.
I remember Bass when it was good. I had one earlier this year, and it was not so good.
Well, fellas, looks like we're gonna be busier brewing better quality examples of our own???
Bass ale (and Sam Adams Lager) were pretty much my gateway beers in college. If find that today neither are particularly great. But, I'm wonder whether this is more a case of changing tastes/expectations and the explosion of the craftbrew industry, as opposed to the big boys buying up and changing recipes for these old classics.
By modern tastes and standards maybe they just weren't ever that great. . .

Yeah man, I know the feeling. Flipped tails a couple times...against heads. My tastes have changed over the years, but I remember flavors & such. Still trying to nail the lagers & pilsners of the 50's-early 60's. Idk...maybe I'm just a throw-back?
just don't throw out your back!
A deal has been reached. InBev will now own 30% of the global beer market.

Just heard this. Will be interesting to see what US regulators have to say. The two companies tend to be distributed by competing companies in many markets. Will be interesting.
Labatt (i.e. AB-InBev) just announced a deal to buy out one of Canada's most well-known craft breweries (Mill Street). And the march toward world domination continues.
Read this while brewing today. Somewhere down in the article, it mentions that DogFish Head sold a minority stake to a private equity firm recently.

I also saw this. It's only a 15% stake that Sam intends on buying back after expansions are made. Sounds like a good investment option to me. Other breweries should possibly look into these options instead of selling majority interest to big beer.
