You know I remember when we would drive all the way to Kansas City Kansas to get Coors beer...... It was great..... Then they got bought and a lot of things changed..... Now a days you could not give it away around here.... There is no doubt that In Bev will buy A B.... It's just up to them what they do with it..... They can build or run it in the ground..... there is competition for my business so they are up to bat...... I hope they realize that it's more than just the product and a lot of it depends on how the public feels about them.......

Good job Fox 2 on your excellent coverage of tne AB buyout. I especially liked Sean Conroy's story about the boycott many St. Louisians are planning. However, just like the story show, their are still going to be workers here in St. Louis and we have got to do our best to support them so their jobs here are secure.

i can remember in the seventies when guys would take a road trip to kansas to get coors.. i thought it was illegal in mo, back then... then the union workers boycotted the bars that sold it here, cause it wasent union.. alotta bars wouldnt carry it... idk

We should NOT Boycott INBEV!!! We should in all fairness give them 3 to 4 months to see if they will live up to their word. If we boycott AB products now, all that will be done is, InBev will be able to do the massive cutbacks and layoffs with a legitimate reason. We will only be jeopardizing all of those employees and their families that rely on their jobs. Give them 3 to 4 months and if they start hurting those who are loyal employees then I will start drinking Coors Light instead of Michelob Light.

If one of the Busch family gets on the board at Inbev, we will all know who helped make this a reality. The Busch family needs to maintain what it is they initiated a long time ago, cash in their chips and walk away.

On another note...If InBev sells off the theme parks and other various venues not related to Beer, they are silly. Every other company out there is trying to become more diverse. Tobacco companies own Food companies. The same company, who owns a Tea company in England, just purchased Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford. I think if they can't use their worldly powers of advertising and global marketing influences to make AB stronger and more profitable without cutting out the little people, then they need to go back to Business Management School!!

For the sake of all of the AB employees and their families, let's give them a chance! We do not need any more of the St. Louis area residents unemployed! Let’s not give InBev any reason for massive layoffs!

InBev is cut throat and I am surprised that they haven't already sent the Clydsdales to the glue factory! I am afraid that some upper level management at A-B are going to find out the hard way that they aren't quite as important as they thought! Once InBev takes over, St.Louis is going to know how much the Busch family really did for this town. What a shame!

Its not just that..in the past few months it appears many businesses are selling out to foreign countries. Why are we selling out?

The weak dollar also explains why gas cost so much more than it used to. Plus other things, but I won't go there.

A 22yr old kid lost his life on Sunday and all you can talk about is rich white Americans getting richer. If these A B worker get to keep there jobs, they have more then what this kid has. If you are really looking for the killing a little more air time would be nice. You know maybe you could show the guys pic more than 10 sec.

I have been wondering why are we so suprised when this type of thing happens - Its all bout profit . Corps dont care about anything else.
