Internet chatter about boycotting Anheuser-Busch doesn't seem to be picking up steam in St. Louis drinking establishments. Fast Eddie's, for instance, hasn't noticed a slow down. Meanwhile, another city official, Aldermanic President Lewis Reed urges InBev to maintain the good-citizen role played by A-B. (
Because Anheuser-Busch was not aggressive enough in the international market, it became vulnerable to a company that was. But William Finnie, formerly of A-B executive and now at Washington University, sees possible positives in the expected takeover.
Tom Schlafly -- heir presumptive to the local King of Brewers' crown -- says the sale of Anheuser-Busch to InBev will have impact, but will not cripple the region's economy. And Terry Ganey, a chronicler of the brewery and the House of Busch, sees an InBev purchase as the final chapter in a remarkable saga.
