Well, they can`t make the beer taste any worse.

There's already been an answer given . . . what's going on with AB these days?? I'm having terrible trouble with my questions and people giving responses and they're credited to someone else. Gave feedback and got nothing.

I think it's shameful. I would hate to a long-standing, American icon and institution being bought up by a foreign company. I live in St. Louis...it's as much a St. Louis tradition as the Cardinals. I work on the brewery campus there (I'm an Anheuser-Busch contractor). This whole town is buzzing with anger/worry/disbelief that such a thing could happen. InBev is known for their cost-cutting strategies, and many fear loss of jobs and loss of the reputation of A-B. Many worry that shareholders will succumb to greed and let this 156 year old company be taken over. http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/business/stories.nsf/story/204D0F082E982D578625746600140C77?OpenDocument

Which Budweiser -- the original Czech or the younger American Budweiser? If it is the US Budweiser maybe the Belgians can introduce better tasting beer...or beer with any taste at all.

See my comment to redcatt's answer. If a foreign company buys a local firm with a lot of tradition, it usually arises anxiety, but that is the downside of globalization we all have to face. Just because the U. S. is bigger than most other countries, it does not mean that it cannot happen here. So, you might be worried and sad about it, but that is the reality today. Consider Coca Cola, McDonalds & Co. and what these companies are doing to the cultural identity of many European countries. Try to think form the European perspective for once, and then reconsider your national worries. And then relax.
