The Big Beer Merger

[yankinoz]

Looks like the SABMiller/Anheuser InBev merger is going ahead.

They'll control a third of world beer, almost half outside South Asia, SE Asia and China. It does not increase the concentration of ownership of Australian breweries, since ABI does not own any, but the company will own a large share of brands imported into Australia.

I'm hiding my equipment, in case they come after me next.

Hell I'd have flags, sirens, and flashing lights going over my equipment to make it easier to find if they want to buy me out for a few million bucks!!....I'd even chuck in my prized thermopen as a bonus!

I object to the opening part of that article: ' The world's top two brewers".

As if their size makes them the world's top brewers?
