Should I switch to Sam Adams?
Why would they let themselves be bought out by a foreign company?
They’re probably going to change the identity of Anheuser-Busch.
Corporations are unsentimental by nature, so there is no reason for the consumer to get sentimental about a corporation. $70 a share is a fair deal for Anheuser Busch. I am not sure what the new owners can do to “ruin” the Budweiser.
That depends upon whether you want to drink real beer or the rice-filled stuff A-B calls beer.
Several years ago I rescued two Germans whose engine had quit on the Talkeetna river in Alaska. After I had towed them ashore they rewarded me with two bottles of beer which they had brought with them on the plane from Germany. They had been to Alaska before and knew our beers. They bestowed them upon me as though they provided water in the desert.
Okay, okay, I'm a beer snob. There are worse defects of character-so I drink beer to forget them.
The weak dollar and foreign trade deficits run amuk... what a way to run a country. (into the ground)
AB bought out Sam Adams years ago.
No micro brew has the advertising of Sam Adams nor it wide availability.
My husband is furious at this. He drinks his “American” beer, Budweiser. Does Sam Adams have a good light beer?
Why shouldN’T they maximize the value of the company for shareholders?
Let’s hope they change the identity of AB, Stella Artois is a tasty beverage, something AB can’t say about any of their beers.
Yuengling Lager is made by people who threw out the Teamsters union. Sam Adams is made by people who thought the company would be promoted by couples having public sex in a church.
Yuengling is better anyway.
?? Because they made them pay through the nose. Since the Busch family has so little stock left, they had no say once the offer was raised.
Better still, find your local microbrewer and support him. Adams is OK, but for real flavor, you need to locate someone who knows how to be generous with the use of hops!
Why would they let themselves be bought out by a foreign company?
Maybe it was always about the money? Otherwise, why would A-B and the other biggies continue to make macroswill while the country's taste buds have been getting more sophisticated?
They’re probably going to change the identity of Anheuser-Busch.
Could it sound any more European?
