As a person who works for a small"er" regional brewer this quite honestly scares me. While AB controls over 50% of the market, everytime there is a merger it spells death for a few more local regional breweries.
Look at Rolling Rock...people still think it's a local beer here in southwestern pennsylvania and while yes it is produced locally it's owned by Interbrew a Canadian company and it isn't really a brand that's hurting. Interbrew is actually the BIGGEST globally with its most recent acquisition (which is slipping my mind right now- some brewing company abroad).
All I have to say is SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BREWERY!
Really I'm off my soapbox now.
this is why I never read the beer related threads
