Default Belgian Aggressors Seek to Topple King
InBev is a monster. It has been devouring countless breweries for the past decade or so. Anheuser-Busch's puny defenses are pointless.

Especially that miserly Carlos Brito is the devil incarnate. His uberprofit-driven management style has even lead to the saving on black/white copies and so on: employees were required to ask permission (!) to make those copies for example.

And let's not forget a number restructuring decisions that turned out to be total failures. For instance Hoegaerden, a Belgian beer, had its production facility transplanted to another city. The mistake was that the beer could only be brewed at Hoegaerden due to particular environmental conditions in order to obtain the specific taste.

Now they've revoked the decision and the brewery is back where it had been for so long

Now they've revoked the decision and the brewery is back where it had been for so long I have to agree that recent Hoegararden hasn't tasted the same. I recall reading that some European cities have been brewing beer for so long that even the wild yeast are mostly just traditional brewer's yeast which has gone wild. In fact supposedly some brewers use wild yeast to ferment their beer and it works just fine. In the rest of the world wild yeast would result in something funky and undrinkable.

As far as I'm concerned, the Belgians could only improve the Anheuser-Busch product line.
