Why did Anheuser Busch always put family heritage in their commercials when they just sold to belgians?

Question

They seemed to be always proud of the brew company always being within the family. Was this just a gimmic to sell to the american people that believe in patriotism and the american way? I didn't like budwieser but it sure is a shame that it was sold to an european company. I guess all can be sold to the highest bidder no matter how much historical significance it has.

Answer 1

Oh no did they take InBev's offer?  I didn't watch the news today

this will ruin St Louis, Missouri

NOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, say it isn't so------

The weak american dollar will be the ruin of this country - - - -

Looks like a deal has NOT been made yet but I always knew it would happen anyway

Grant's Farm will be gone in a couple of years - you mark my words -

Answer 2

Everybody has its price,  apparently $52 billion is August Busch IV's price.  That's a lot of money, it is kinda hard to think about tradition and family heritage when somebody is pushing all than money in your face after already planning to cut jobs by forcing early retirement.

Answer 3

It's called PR. Advertising.

Answer 4

your rant is ok..

Just look around ..Americans will sell us out without a care..

look at the democrats..

I drink Keystone from Coors

if they sell out I will brew my own..

if you boycott they fold .. "Boston Tea Party"..

The only way America can stand proud is to do without.

we put a serious hurt on French wine and tourism

Answer 5

Sadly, with the declining dollar the price was high enough that the shareholders accepted the bid.   I hope this isnt a trend...Admittedly I am a shareholder but my 200 shares really doesn't have much say.

If you want to drink American, there are many good regional microbrews!!!  I like 90 Schilling Ale, Dog Fish Head, Hopdevil amongst others.

Answer 6
