Budweiser and Miller to merge. They will now control almost all of the beer on college campuses, high school parties, and sporting events.

I've been following this. This really sucks. No way this should have been approved, but its hard for a shareholder to turn down a 50% increase in share price.

You'd be better off drinking craft beer anyways. They have stuff that competes with the Bud/Miller/Coors options now.

Not like you can say competition made the main Miller and Budweiser products any better.

I'd have to check all the brands each owns, but Stella seems to be the only one I care about from the article's mentions.

They're hitting other markets slowly. I fear you may be right, JORR.
