BackInBev

Aw, crap.

Well, when you're a public company, you answer to your shareholders. BUD was getting quite a premium on their price, and rejecting the offer again probably would have lead to a long, drawn out drama that gets hostile and just annoys everyone.

I'd like to say I'll never drink a Bud or Busch again but that would be a stupid thing to say. I can say I'll never drink a Bud Light again because I don't ever drink Bud Light. That's how pissed I am.

In all seriousness it's a sad day for St. Louis. For you Chicago folks, it would be like if the White Sox bought the Cubs. No one wins, right? But in all seriousness, it would be like if Big League Chew bought Wrigley. Who wants to fish for those sticks of gum in those big pouches, right? But in all seriousness...

You know the worst thing about this? For a Belgian-Brazilian company, InBev has got to be the most boring name ever. You can't be like "Yo dude, can I get an InBev Light?" I mean this is the KING OF BEERS we're talking about. The King doesn't get bought. The King sends his big eagle out on the streets to drop huge letter A's on people if they drink InBev Light. You best stay inside with that crap.

Damn. I'm thirsty.

OutBev

Looks like Anheuser-Busch is rejecting InBev's bid to buy the St. Louis-based BUD. Woo hoo! InBev is a European company that produces the likes of Beck's and Stella Artois, both of which taste like mud next an ice cold frosty Bud, Bud Light, Bud Select, Bud Ice, Bud Dry, Michelob, Michelob Light, Michelob Ultra, Michelob Dry, Busch, Busch Light, Busch Light Ice Dry, Natural Light or whatever lime or mojito flavored beers they're coming out with now.

I'm sure the shareholders of BUD are a little unhappy, but as a resident of St. Louis I cannot fathom the idea of Budweiser having anything to do with Europe. InBev - this Bud is NOT for you!
