The Anheuser-Busch Acquisition of Craft Brew Alliance Faces Growing Antitrust Scrutiny
As if Craft Brew Alliance's (NASDAQ: BREW) effort to be acquired by Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE: BUD) hasn't been difficult and convoluted already, the Justice Dept. is throwing another wrench into the machinery by requesting more information about the pending buyout.
Although such requests aren't rare, and deals can still go through afterwards, it indicates antitrust regulators have found areas of concern regarding competition that could delay the acquisition -- or derail it altogether.
