SABMIller deal: Social media verdict on the AB InBev offer
News that AB InBev have made a revised offer to buy SAM Miller has caused a storm on social media.
The PMA rounds up some of the tweets and comments about the proposal to combine the two companies, creating 'the world's first global beer company.'
What a waste of money! AB Inbev cannot manage its current portfolio and wants to swallow more. Indigestion in sight. https://t.co/LEVd5HXN5y

So 37% of all of the beer production in all of the world will be controlled by one behemoth company.

AB InBev already sells 20% of the world’s beer and SABMiller 10%. A combined group would reap half the world’s beer profits. Cheers?
