But there has been a recent movement towards beverage industry accuisitions in the past few years. And not just specifically the alcohol sector. Coke bought the Glacaeu/Vitamin Water company, and Bud actually I think bought the Monster energy drink brands. But really nothing to my memory has been quite a large as this InBev deal.

It's not like the consolidation of the alcohol industry hasn't been going on for a while now... Didn’t Coors merge with Molson 2 or 3 years ago?

For me, Bud has always been one of the quintessential all-American icon brands, like Coke and McDonald's. And not only an American company but legendary and long-time family run one with the Busch's. It's disappointing to see that after surviving prohibiton, the great depression, and over a century operation they somehow couldn't or wouldn't avoid a forgein buyout by any means.

Support your local businesses. I avoid Wal-Mart as much as I can. With the economy being so bad, a lot of people think it's a strange idea to not shop at the cheapest place in town. I try to point out that they're contributing to the current economical situation; above all they just want cheap prices now. Agreed. Support your local businesses. I avoid Wal-Mart as much as I can.

I think it's time we really starting focusing on keeping American jobs and American companies here in the United States.
