In the United States, the AB InBev/SABMiller merger was approved with largely meaningless conduct restrictions,
and the two big brewers were given a free pass to continue buying craft brewers and extending the duopoly into craft beer.
Get some craft brewers really talking, and they’ll tell you we are headed for a time when independent breweries can’t afford to
compete, can’t afford the best ingredients, can’t get wholesalers to support them, and can’t get shelf space and draft lines.
The Department of Justice is allowing the damage to continue by greenlighting these
two big brewers to extend their duopoly into craft beer by acquiring craft brewers.
