Hopslam Ale

RE: Hopslam Ale

Dobro je da ste ga uhvatili na vrijeme jer kako stvari stoje moglo bi se lako desiti da Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser) postane vlasnik Bell's-a. Uzas.

"Could Budweiser be making your Hopslam next year? Due to a business dispute, it’s possible. From Bell’s founder Larry Bell:

'Unfortunately with the growth and the size the company has gotten to, the alarms are going off to where we have to figure it out or do something else,' Bell said. 'I don’t want to sell, but it’s a great time to sell if I had to. There are many willing buyers.'
'If it was just a family business, there would be legal maneuvers we could make that would facilitate that kind of transfer across generations. With its current structure, I’m not able to do those sorts of things. It would basically leave us in the position of selling the company upon my death.'
Bells wants to keep the brewery in the family, which is admirable. But he may have to sell, and it may have to happen as early as the fall. Could Bells end up like Goose Island, swallowed up by a big brewer? Maybe, or maybe they’ll find a way to work it out."
