InBev to buy Anheuser-Busch

InBev agreed to buy Anheuser-Busch Cos. for $52 billion to become the world’s biggest brewer and gain almost half the U.S. market for beer, the companies said in a joint news release. The combined company will be called Anheuser-Busch InBev, and both companies’ boards of directors have approved the deal unanimously. The takeover of Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis would be the second-biggest acquisition of a consumer-goods company and ends a month of court fights and public disputes over the future of the 156-year-old maker of Budweiser.
