Anheuser-Busch reportedly in merger talks with another brewer
(2007-02-16)
(St. Louis Public Radio) - A Brazilian newspaper reports that St. Louis-based Anheuser-Busch is in talks to unite with another of the world's largest beermakers.

Both Anheuser-Busch and Belgium-based InBev declined to comment Thursday on the report in the Brazilian paper.

Industry watchers say a business combination would make long-term strategic sense.

Analysts say InBev would gain greater marketing and distribution power in the United States. Meanwhile, Anheuser-Busch could strengthen its distribution network around the world. © Copyright 2012, St. Louis Public Radio
