A Mexican brewery was in contention too, guess they didn't have enough pesos.

I'm not so sure. The US economy is in the tank. Good companies are looking for ways to keep shareholders happy and the purhcase by ENBEV will do just that. Beer is sacred over there and it will only make the king of beers better on the world stage.

It might even make it taste better too...
