I hope InBev got some change back.

I do like how the Busch family was waving the American flag and screaming about how bad this deal was when the offer was $65 per share. Then they got offered $70 and everything's just great now.

It's all about the $$$$

What with the prices of rice these days, Budweiser was going to have to change recipies anyway. No great loss.

For 52 BILLION, Money talks and bullshit walks. It would have been a hostile takeover. Now the board will live the rest of their lives in retirement of some sorts, can you imagine how many shares they had?

As I can't stand budwiper, for obvious reasons, it is disenheartening to see another American business go down the "hershey highway" pun intended, bought by a huge foreign conglomerate, and moved out of the country.

Sad day for Americana.

Interbrew (the In in Inbev) has been around since 1366. Hopefully their 500 years of added experience will result in a Budweiser I like.

Well, the Busch family owns 4% of the stock. So 4% of 52 billion is about 2 billion. Now that's the whole family, and there seems to be a whole shitload of them, so that pie gets sliced a lot of ways, and there's capital gains taxes and all, but I think they'll all still have enough to eat at Red Lobster once in a while.
