Belgian brewer InBev confirmed Monday that it will buy its U.S. rival Anheuser-Busch for $52 billion to create the world's largest brewer.

The acquisition means control over America's largest brewer — the No. 2 worldwide and brewer of Budweiser — moves overseas. Based in St. Louis, Mo., Anheuser-Busch has more than 48 percent of the American market share with brands that include Bud Light.

InBev is the world's second largest beer maker, with brands that include Stella Artois and Becks. InBev's first bid for Anheuser-Busch came on June 11.

Do you think this will be better for North American beer drinkers?

That's great news! They make some of the best ever! I hope now that americans can taste great Beer like Stella Artois, Hertog Jan and my all time favourite: Jupiler

If I am right Inbev have took over a lot of companies and so far I never have heard that customers were complaining that Inbev made the quality of the beer worse...

Don't they have stella artois in NA?  I thought I saw a bar in New york who served it.  And Jupiler is beer that I really don't like...like Heineken...

I dont know.. not seen it when I was in NA.. but you don't like Jupiler??? I also don't like Heineken.. but Jupiler? It's the number 1 beer of Belgium!

Stella is already available here in the states.

Becks is ass.

So is Budweiser.

Should be a match made in heaven.

I like beer

Mmm impressive take-over. But I doubt a lot will change for the consumer. If anything, more brands will appear in the American and Belgian markets.

Never was a fan of bud so really doesn't effect me

will Anheuser-Busch stay in St. Lois?
and if not what is the future for Busch stadium?
