I for one welcome our new lite beer overlords.

seems highly likely that this gets blocked in some way

most shockingly, I didn't know MGD was one of the top two selling beers in the world

^that stuck out to me too. I was wondering why they were referring to MGD instead of Miller Lite

this is pretty crazy news though

yeah, if this goes through I'm sure they'd have to sell off some brands, at least in the US market.

read this a second ago on reuters

"AB InBev is widely expected to sell SABMiller's stake in U.S.-based MillerCoors if the merger goes through, leaving its U.S. market share unchanged at 46.4 percent."

I wonder if this will really affect me?

I do not drink their piss beer and boycott the sold-out brands that they own in the craft brew scene. I guess if you live in a trailer park in rural Nebraska you will be paying an extra $0.50 cents for a case of Busch Light.

Apparently this is a big move to get the African market share.

I just read that somewhere...don't really know the details or reasoning behind it.

At this point I'm 95% certain we (TWW) can develop a bot that will post just like HUR.

Are you a fan of An-Busch products?
