      St. Louisans have crazy amounts of pride for AB and it's horrible that they were bought out by InBev. Most of those people have probably been working there almost their whole lives. Sad.



    13. 13

      boring



    14. 14

      Screw that nasty beer, how about the Clydesdales?



    15. 15

      Canadian beer is better anyway.



    16. 16

      You wouldn't think a bad economy would affect the beer industry.

      If anything it's a reason to DRINK MORE BEER and drown your sorrows!

      I wonder how much of this has to do with the economy or InBev buying them.



    18. 18

      St. Louis is STILL the corporate headquarters for AB. And yes… St. Louis is hurting.



    19. 19

      Jeez, fuck off guys. Just because you don't like the beer doesn't mean you have to be dicks. I live in the metro St. Louis area and this sucks. The steel mill where my dad works just went idle. The economy is horrid.



    20. 20

      Probably has nothing to do with them being bought out by the Belgian company InBev…



    21. 21

      I only drink American beer now. Say no to Miller and Anheuser-Busch. I only drink American beer now. Say no to Miller and Anheuser-Busch. I only drink American beer now. Say no to Miller and Anheuser-Busch.



    22. 22

      Grreat, first they fuckin sell out to Inbev and now this.
      We're fucked.



    23. 23

      In-Bev sucks!



    24. 24

      Thanks for the Love, it really does suck. We will always love our Bud products and will always consider it to be OUR beer. We'll get it back on track here in the Lou!



    25. 25

      Re: McBain –
      And remember, it's still made here in America. If you boycott the products more STL and American jobs will be lost. That isn't the right thing to do. Good beer is good beer and good people all across the nation work hard to make it for us to enjoy after a hard day!! :)

      Yeah, thanks AB for screwing this lovely city of ours. Thanks for letting a great American company fall to foreign corporations. If you live in St. Louis, drink Schlafly's instead. It' s a great microbrew, and it's St. Louis owned. Bud can suck it.

      Re: Lulz – I take it you don't actually read the news. It was a hostile take over your dumb ass. Thank the greedy stockholders and their lawsuits. Auggie Busch is rolling over in his grave right now.



    28. 28

      thanks to inbev my husband will be one of those getting a pink slip tomorrow. he has worked very hard for the company and now getting canned. love the time of year they are doing it too..and to boot we are having a baby next week as well..

      Duh, when a company is bought out there are usually major cuts at the HQ.
