I guess I'm not putting any kind of nationalistic twist on this...so who cares who owns it as long as the company is well managed. In the global economic sense, this appears to me to be a good move for most, though sadly it's stress and anxiety for anyone who looses a job because of consolidation and reorganization.

I just hope this widens the market and lowers the price of Stella.

Funny about how the guy from out of town is often considered the expert...regardless of his capabilities.
When I was in Belgium, they talk about Stella like it was the low end street beer and why would you drink it if you have a choice. Based on my many tastings, I do not think any better of Stella than I do of Bud...which I pretty much hate.
I suspect it's still this way, but years ago my ex worked at a summer camp where many of the councelors were young Brits...and all they wanted to drink was Budweiser, and they even said that back at home it was highly regarded...hard to believe the English taste for beer could come to that conclusion but that's what they reported.
