The increases will occur later this year and will cover "different price tiers," the company told The Wall Street Journal late Tuesday.
"We do plan on taking prices up in the fall on the majority of our volume in the majority of the U.S.," Dave Peacock, president of Anheuser-Busch InBev's U.S. division, told the paper. "The environment is very favorable, we think."

 

Rival MillerCoors also plans price increases. "We have seen very strong pricing to date this year, and we are projecting a favorable pricing environment moving forward," Brad Schwartz, the vice president of revenue management and sales development at  MillerCoors, told the Journal. MillerCoors is a joint venture of Molson Coors (TAP) and SABMiller (SBM)

Neither company said how big the price increases would be.

 

Beer prices in the U.S. have been rising despite the recession. In July, the price of beer, ale and other malt beverages sold for consumption at home had risen 4.6% from July 2008, according to the Labor Department's Consumer Price Index. The year before, prices rose 5.3%.

Meanwhile, distilled spirits rose 2%, and wine was up 1.6% in July. Consumer prices overall were down 2.1% in July, the biggest year-over-year drop since 1950.

Belgian InBev bought Anheuser-Busch last year.

I went to Colorado to visit a friend awhile back. Just had to tour Coors brewery. During the tour, the guide said,"these are the pots that have Coors Light and Keystone Light." I asked which they were making this day. The reply was that the only difference was in packaging and marketing. Some people like expensive beer and some people like cheap beer, but it all came from the same tanks. It surprised me that they openly admitted this.

I also heard that Budweiser and Busch do the same thing.

Adolphus Busch IV, was against selling out to Europe, before he actually went ahead and did it.

It was discussed here on DRTV, and now here in the archives, when it happened.

Take Sam Adams to my BBQ now...

Had a friend that worked for Cruzan Rum. They got sold to INBEV, a Swedish company. He did well one sales quarter and was "rewarded" with a trip to the ice hotel, made out of ice (beds and toilets included) on a frozen lake in Sweden (we both thought the inmates at Gitmo got a better deal). Personally, I think that's where you send the screw ups in your company as a warning, but I'm just a Florida boy. The point is that INBEV is not to be trusted. They come from a country where .02 is over the limit,consider a Saab a sports car and think Aqua Vit is fit for human consumption. It's a sad day when they buy Bud.

You Idjit, that's a heck of a prize,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_hotel

An ice hotel is a temporary hotel made up entirely of snow and sculpted blocks of ice. They are promoted by their sponsors and have special features for travelers who are interested in novelties and unusual environments, and thus are in the class of destination hotels. Their lobbies are often filled with ice sculptures, and food and beverages are specially chosen for the circumstances.

All of the ice hotels are reconstructed every year, and are dependent upon constant sub-freezing temperatures during construction and operation. The walls, fixtures, and fittings are made entirely of ice, and are held together using a substance known as snice, which takes the place of mortar in a traditional brick-built hotel.

Existing each year between December and April, the Icehotel in the village of Jukkasjärvi, about 17 km from Kiruna, Sweden was the world's first ice hotel. In 1989, Japanese ice artists visited the area and created an exhibition of ice art. In Spring 1990, French artist Jannot Derid held an exhibition in a cylinder-shaped igloo in the area. One night there were no rooms available in the town, so some of the visitors asked for permission to spend the night in the exhibition hall. They slept in sleeping bags on top of reindeer skin - the first guests of the "hotel".
When completed, the hotel features a bar, church, main hall, reception area and rooms and suites for over 100 guests to sit and sleep on blocks of sculpted ice in the form of chairs and beds. There is also warm accommodation available next to the hotel. The Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi is known to be the biggest hotel of ice and snow in the world, spanning over some 6 000 m2. Each suite is unique and the architecture of the hotel is changed each year, as it is rebuilt from scratch. Each year artists submit their ideas for suites and a jury selects about 50 artists to create the church, Absolut Icebar, reception, main hall and suites. When spring comes, everything melts away and returns to the Torne River. The Icehotel only exists between December and April, and has been listed as one of the Seven Wonders of Sweden. [1]

Documentaries that focus on this hotel can be seen from time to time on Discovery Channel [2][3] and National Geographic[4].

Seven wonders of Sweden? Personally, I thought the only "Wonder" was attractive women who weren't afraid to take their clothes off (unless they were stuck in the ice hotel, but even then they'd be "perky")
