The king of beer mergers

Will patriotic Americans stand by while a foreign brewery chugs down red-white-and-blue Budweiser? Or will they say, good riddance!

    Conflicted emotions

    Yes, most A-B products are swill.

    However, given InBev's reputation, the chances of them continuing the extremely generous largess A-B has showered on St. Louis over the past century is virtually nil. From massive donations to virtually every charity and cultural institution in the area to free kegs for local wedding receptions, the roots of A-B run deep in the town's soil.

    Losing yet another HQ would be another nail in St. Louis's coffin. Losing A-B would be more like hermetically sealing it and pouring concrete over the top.

    P.S.--Sierra Nevada is way overrated.
