America’s economy continues to suffer, as the U.S. is infiltrated by tourists from all over the world this summer looking to take advantage of the sweet exchange rates of the dollar. European-based companies are also looking for opportunities to grow. The Belgium-based brewers of Beck’s and Stella Artois, InBev purchased Anheuser-Busch for $52 billion in a deal that went down on Sunday.
The two brewers will combine to make the world’s largest beer maker with more than 300 different brands under its ownership. The St. Louis headquarters of Anheuser-Busch will be the new home of InBev’s North American offices.
Stephen Colbert drowned his sorrows regarding the whole situation on his show last night, enjoying both some Bud Heavys and Bud Light with Lime. Colbert has been drinking since he heard the news - he wants to make sure he enjoys the classic taste of Budweiser “before those waffle humpers change the formula.”
