- The Department of Justice is probing Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD +1.4%) on concerns over incentives the company offers to independent distributors to sell A-B brands, sources tell New York Post. The company is a target due to its +40% market share in the U.S.
- The incentive program was introduced by the beer giant late last year in a clear effort to quell the craft beer movement.
- Craft beer makes up about 12% of U.S. beer sales, a mark that doesn't include the craft labels from Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors.
