Jeff is going to be pissed. We were talking about this the other day, and they had originally turned the deal down....wtf happened??

2k4mk1 · 07-14-2008, 05:50 PM

Well buttwiper was bad before itll prolly get worse now....

At least SHINER is still a US product

SUfanINsa · 07-14-2008, 06:30 PM

Are they gonna keep the breweries here or are they taking it all overseas. If Bud becomes an import they will lose a shitload of business. Either way sucks for several different cities

timpryor · 07-14-2008, 06:31 PM

From what I have read, they will keep the breweries open & the formula unchanged

SUfanINsa · 07-14-2008, 06:35 PM

what the hell is the world coming too? I really hope the stockholders choose to keep it an American thing and not sell out, although 52 billion is a assload of cash, but they have to be making a shitload too with all the sponsorships and ad campaigns.

tulabeast · 07-14-2008, 06:52 PM

52 billion is a shit load money. SOLD SOLD SOLD

JENA · 07-14-2008, 09:30 PM

Yeah just saw this on the news today. As weird as it is, its kind of sad. Might have to go back to Dos Equis (fully dressed)

SUfanINsa · 07-14-2008, 09:54 PM

prices could go up......their slogan has been "The American Lager" guess that wont be true much longer

Agent Jones · 07-14-2008, 09:56 PM

yeah saw this coming a couple of days ago. Bud wasnt gonna do it until they were told their product will remain unchanged. We will not see a change...just stock owners, upper management, etc

SUfanINsa · 07-14-2008, 09:56 PM

we will see......hopefully nothing changes but who knows

SUfanINsa · 07-14-2008, 10:01 PM

just sending money to other parts of the world and not keeping it American is what I am getting at

SUfanINsa · 07-14-2008, 10:07 PM

me neither, just one more thing towards relying on other countries

JENA · 07-14-2008, 10:18 PM

i won't stop drinking Bud either, unless the taste ever changed - that was my point

**lazer96gt** · 07-14-2008, 11:22 PM

I see Budweiser bringing in "flavors" from around the world now. They will of course keep "Bud Classic" but I think we'll see more dark selections coming. I'm all for that. I like the heavy beer anyway.

**bandit** · 07-14-2008, 11:44 PM

Coming from someone who was born and raised in St. Louis, MO (where AB's headquarters are), I just hope that they stick to their word and keep the brewery open in STL. If they pull out of St. Louis, that whole city will fall flat on it's face. AB is about the only big name company they have.

AB leaving St. Louis would be like the Toyota plant closing down and leaving San Antonio after being here for over 100 years.

I hate it. I drink Bud Light like its water. I won't be anymore if this shit goes through. I'm about sick of America being sold to the highest bidder.

SUfanINsa · 07-15-2008, 11:17 AM

Brent for once I wholeheartedly agree!!!

89OctaneStang · 07-15-2008, 11:27 AM

So what happens to the Anheuser Busch theme parks? Do they close down or become something else like Belgian Busch theme parks... What a bunch of idiots.
