In any case, it's sad to see one of the longest and most successfully run American companies become foreign owned, but it is slightly ironic considering a European came here and started it and another European purchased them.
InBev, for those that don't know, is the largest brewer in the world owning brands like St. Pauli Girl, Spaten, Bass, Becks and now Bud. Next time you crack open the King of Beers you're drinking a Belgian owned company.
I can only imagine how much money that really is...so big.
