U.S. challenges Busch-Modelo beer merger

The government says the deal would put too many top beer brands in the hands of a single company, limiting competition. The concern is especially high for 26 U.S. cities.

Article does not specify which cities those are. If one of these are your city please stop whatever it is you are doing.

Lacking that competition, Anheuser-Busch would be able to boost beer prices, says Bill Baer, assistant attorney general for the department's antitrust division.

Used to be able to get a cheap 12 pack for $3.99. They are squeezing those who can least afford it.

Anheuser-Busch/In-Bev have been actively pursuing, and winning, a monopoly in America, and thanks to their $million PAC contributions, they are on their way to controlling 60% of the market.
The beer industry is the most heavily controlled and manipulated market in America.
Anheuser Busch/In Bev sell more beer in America than all other brands...combined.
They have heavily-heavily lobbied congress to maintain the corrupt and ludicrously out-dated "three-tier" system of beer sale regulations where 76% of the "industry managers" who directly control how beer is displayed in supermarkets...are employees of InBev....tell me how that is legal?
