October 15, 201510 yr Author I don't think this will pass here in the US unless they unload some brands. I've wondered about that myself. I don't know a whole lot of detail about US antitrust laws, but 30.5% of the market would seem like a pretty good start on a monopoly. Any of the legal minds here on BGP know much about antitrust?
October 19, 201510 yr Looks like I'm going to have to start buying A LOT MORE Yuengling! :lol2: Was in gulf shores the past week and did my best to move them up that list.
November 11, 201510 yr Author SABMiller is divesting themselves of their $12 billion 58% ownership of MillerCoors in the United States in order to avoid US antitrust violations, and the purchase of SABMiller by Anheuser-Busch InBev will be moving forward for $106 billion.

December 22, 201510 yr Looks like AB / InBev has been busy Christmas shopping. In less than a week they have purchased Four Peaks Brewing in Arizona, Camden Town Brewering in London, and Breckenridge Brewing in Colorado.
December 22, 201510 yr Pity. I liked Breckenridge. Congrats to its founders, who are now sitting on a big pile of money, thanks to InBev.

October 1, 20169 yr On a related note I saw a crazy stat in the Economist a few weeks ago that the number of publicly listed companies has halved between 1997 and now. Obviously the .com bubble was a contributor, but that's still jaw-dropping, I think.

I read a year or so ago that something like 80-90% of .Coms had failed from the 90's. There have been plenty of mergers, but that is by far the biggest part of the drop in listed companies.
