Who wants to buy Rolling Rock?
No, not an individual beer, the entire bottling line. Anheuser-Busch, which purchased the makers of the lovely green bottles three years ago from In Bev for $82 million, wants to sell the Rock. Actually, In Bev — the company that now owns AB — is looking to sell the beer that’s “Born Small Town.” Yes, this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense but just roll with it, okay?
According to The Wall Street Journal, potential suitors include North American Breweries Inc. — which purchased High Falls Brewing Co. and Labatt USA (from In Bev) earlier this year — and C2 Imports LLC. The article doesn’t mention anything about you owning it, but it’s always a possibility. You have $80 million lying around, right?
