What's this?

No, InBev wants to help DB dominate VA. They are purchasing


other brewers in other locales to dominate those areas. They don't want to take these beers national. They know the allure of craft beer is that it is local. So they want to keep it local, but raise the profile to a dominant status in that finite market without changing the product. It's a great strategy to take advantage of the craft beer market.
