I am now only going to buy beer from micro-brewers. America is, and has been, for sale for a long time now. We bitch about no jobs but we have no problem going to Wal-Mart to buy things made in China that used to be made in the USA. In addition to not buying beer from "major" brewers, I am going to start buying what I need or want from garage and yard sales. I really don't care if it is used or a little beat-up. If it is what I am looking for and made in the U.S.A. I'll buy it and forget about supporting Chin Ling and his family. Who's with me?

The Craft Brewers Alliance and others may find InBev to be a very different partner which could influence their business practices (see articles on the disastrous potential impact if A-B had not renewed its agreement with Redhook).

Calling them future members of the InBev family makes it sounds like they will be consumed by InBev. A-B has a minority stake in Craft Brewers Alliance (mainly Redhook and Widmer).
