Will Mega Beer Merger Lead To Higher Prices & Fewer Choices For Consumers?

With a $104.2 billion merger agreed to in principle, beer giants Anheuser-Busch InBev and SABMiller could be walking down the aisle soon, creating a company that provides nearly 70% of the beer sold in the U.S. While such a mega-merger might be beneficial to the companies as far as increasing market share and cutting costs, the deal could have some very real consequences for consumers – and other beer producers.

Didn't Anheuser -Busch already sell to a Brazilian company? Wtf? The country is being bought out by foriegners.

Not worried because I look for micro brews from small independent companies, like dogfish head, or evo. There are hundreds of choices out there, and the quality is better and the taste is better.
Corporations can stick it where the sun don't shine!
