Yes, it's official. After a few unsuccesful attempts, InBev Corp. has purchased Anhueser-Busch for $52 Billion Dollars!!! (insert Dr. Evil voice here).
InBev is the Belgan maker of Stella Artois and Becks and is now the largest brewer in the world making 25% of the planet's swill. It's just fitting that Anhuseur-Busch be bought out by a company who makes a beer (Stella) that is refereed by Europeans as "Wife Beater" Business folks are pleased by the conglomeration. I'd hate to be in St.Louis right now. Talk about losing your hometown pride. Well, at least you can expect to find a lot more Becks on tap. And I guess you can get more Stella too. I just like calling it wife beater.
The questions have been painstakingly researched. The answers, however, have not.

wonder if they'll start calling it Stella Stadium...?
I oughta track that down.. how does the ball team fit into the "Empire." The Busch empire of St. L. that is.
Beer is only look down upon because it is primarily an alcoholic beverage consumed by poor people.
We would be saying the same thing about Chivas Regal if they started marketing in the ghetto.
