Today marked the completion of the acquisition (PDF) of Anheuser-Busch by InBev, creating the world’s largest brewing company, now named Anheuser-Busch InBev.
This also makes the world’s largest brewer the 48.5% owner of The Beer Store. Along with co-owners Molson Coors and Sapporo, The Beer Store continues to distance itself anything remotely Canadian.
Remember folks, when you walk into a Beer Store you are entering a mega-corporate entity that has a virtual monopoly in the marketplace, not a government organization or the local retailer that sometimes people think it is.
