Sorry dude, nobody forks over 52 BILLION dollars for half of the company. You might want to look that over again....

InBev agreed to let some of the board of directors remain, but InBev owns 100% of Anheuser Busch. Besides, the Busch family only had something like 18% of the shares before InBev stepped in... how did they go from 18% to 50%?

and yeah you would when the company gorss' over 36BILLION a year......Like I said, I will find the A/B news letter, and A/B still owns some....it's like a 60/30 split..and yes InBev has the 60%.............But honestly..WTF does it matter? No Beer american Beer is American owned anymore...As long as it's not owned by a terroristic nation...I could care less...
Did you even read the links? There is a reason every article I have read says that InBev is BUYING out A-B... not some of it. We are all still waiting for those emails you have on the details of the sale. I have been following this ever since it was announced that InBev made the unsolicited offer.

Some more links to show you that InBev now owns A-B, not some of A-B
BTW: A-B did/does not gross 36 billion a year (can you provide some proof of that?)... the combination of InBev and A-B will gross 36 billion (as stated in one of the links I provided you earlier).

Also from that article.....
Once again showing that A-B was bought out.

A-B also said it plans to raise prices on the majority of its U.S. beer volume in September and October to deal with rising agricultural material costs, brewing material costs and some continued increase from energy costs.
These price hikes will affect 85 percent of the company's domestic volume and will be tailored to selected markets, brands and packages.

On July 13, Anheuser accepted a sweetened $52 billion takeover bid from Belgian InBev, creating the world's largest brewer.

And I agree....I spend ALOT of money every year on great beers from around the world. Some of the best are NOT from the USA.
