Stag Brewery, London, UK
It's reported that Anheuser-Busch InBev, will be shutting down the historic 600-year-old Stag Brewery in London, UK. The reason, a weak economy and increased beer taxes.
Soap Box Ravings says this historic brewery is being closed by Anheuser-Busch InBev, a recent combination of the European company InBev and the US company Anheuser-Busch which merged in 2008 to become the world's largest beer brewer.
Anheuser-Busch owned the Stag Brewery and to save money, they will close down the 600 years of tradition it this brewery represents.
Restructuring operations is a companies response to low profit and high taxes, a response that those running our government may want to consider.
The reason the Stag Brewery will be shut down is of little comfort to those who have made their careers brewing beer there.
It should also sadly be noted that the Sea World and Busch Gardens parks, owned by Anheuser-Busch, will also discontinue their free beer tasting areas.
