Bud Buyout


Globalization hits Budweiser. Is nothing sacred? Well, money talks. The Belgium company that markets Beck's among other brands has bid $52,000,000,000 for Anheuser Busch. This does not affect me directly as I am in talks with "Old Milwaukee" for them to become the official beer of this blog!
