By the way, to your original point, I'm quite worried about the impacts of corporate consolidation on the legacy you describe. When Anheuser-Busch is purchased by a foreign conglomerate, it's not just the jobs of a few thousand St. Louisans that are at stake. It's the entire patronage infrastructure that such a large corporate citizen brings with it.
Anheuser-Busch did great things for St. Louis, presumably, because the executives at AB gave a shit about St. Louis. They lived there. Their kids went to school there.
That's not an assumption we can make about Belgian ownership.
