Anhauser-Busch Inbev possible merger with SABMiller. The two biggest beer companies in the world about to become one mega brewery. Will clydesdales be pulling the Miller wagon too? http://money.cnn.com/2015/09/16/news/companies/sabmiller-anheuser-busch-takeover/
Contraction... plan and simple. They have lost significant market share (up to 19 %) to the craft brewery movement. No different from a Circuit City disappearing due to the emergence of Amazon.
