How could a bunch of Germans barge into a French community and start
making German beer?
How could a Kentucky Colonel barge into China and start selling fried
chicken?
How could a bunch of immigrants barge into Europe and start smoking
tobacco in pipes and blowing smoke up the royalties ass? How could we
let Barbie be kidnapped and be cloned in a communist country?
It just ain't right. I think there's something in the Bible about
it.

Use the method Pennsyvanians used to prevent Rolling Rock from going
to New Jersey. Wait a minute, it didn't work.

First off America doesn't own Anheuser-Busch - it's shareholder
owned. And they decide who owns the company. Transacting the sale is
easy. Just offer a price to shareholders that is well above current
market.

Ship it overseas? Isn't it brewed overseas?

Americans work for A-B's various breweries, too, y'know. Quite a few
Americans.

Because ... ? You think your favorite macroswill is somehow changed
because it's now part of a global concern?
> it is ok now to ship it oversea because their market
> share here is gone....

It's already sold overseas, but it's brewed either under license or
by wholly owned subsidiaries overseas. You don't have problems with
foreigners drinking beer from an American-owned brewery, but now that
it's part of a multi-national conglomerate, that's all awful and bad?

If so, you need to get out more.

Let's all freak out why don't we!? I don't understand anti buy out
idiots. Anheuser-Busch tastes like (edited) anyway. So does Miller,
and Coors. I wish more foriegn breweries would take an interest...
