even if you take ab inbev out of the equation it would make sense for mill tore acquire molson coors is isn't the way to fend off a hostile takeover and again, you have the benefit of combining full ownership of the miller-coors joint venture under one roofer. the buying company would take a share in canada and expand it in mexico and it would have a more selection of high-quality brands and not just coors, blue moon, not one of my fifes and people do like it and international brands which i've never heard of, and sterile prayman. and both of these scenarios would try to make a bid for sabmiller. suppose they don't. molson coarse coors is capable of making overseas and good-tasting beers like coors light. my drink. partial speculation that tap might be able to buy out s&p's stake in coors. it's an attractive buy if it pulls back on market-wide weakness. beer is the kind of thing that people don't tend to cut back for in hard times and they go nuts for in good times. with inbev contemplating an acquisition of sabmiller, i think the winner of the potential consolidation is molson coors.
