Bud Light Lime, Not Potential InBev Takeover Boosting Anheuser-Busch

One thing that cannot be overlooked is the charitable work that AB provides to so many philanthopies and organizations. AB was built on values of "Making Friends is our Business"... I understand from a financial side that stock holders would love to see the price over $60-65/share, but something that shouldn't be an oversight is that the company continues to test the waters for new ideas and innovations to grow the company. As for smaller, US regional craft brewers... I understand how people percieve the big bully or mega brewer mentality of pushing around the little guys, but make no bones about it... because of AB's wholesaler network, many of these smaller brewers get enormous coverage and can offer their products to a much larger audience that they would never have been able to do through their distribution channels.

My hope is that AB stays an American based company as it stands for everything that is American. Hopefully the shareholders see the value of that and can reap the rewards of increased stock prices from growth within and not from a takeover or merger.
