Late last week, the Anheuser-Busch board of directors politely yet firmly told InBev that they were fine, thanks.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"http:\/\/beeradvocate.com\/news\/1429511\">reported in Beer Advocate<\/a>, the response to InBev&#8217;s offer to buy AB at $65 a share was a polite thanks but no thanks. The board if directors for the beer giant said that even though the $65 per share was over current share price, the offer really undervalued the earnings potential of the brand, as well as other assets the company has and plans they&#8217;ve made to make more money . So basically, InBev&#8217;s offer wasn&#8217;t enough.<\/p>\n<p>Not that I can blame them. I don&#8217;t think any company that&#8217;s doing as well as Anheuser-Busch wants to be taken over. I personally like the decision. I don&#8217;t like the thought of mega global companies all buying each other up to form one massive corporation, but that&#8217;s just me.
