Anheuser-Busch InBev purchases Czech ‘Budweiser’ rival

A-B InBev has purchased Budjovicky Mestansky Pivovar (BMP), the smaller of two breweries from the Czech town of Ceska Budejovice. Both have long claimed that they — and not A-B InBev — own the right to sell a beer called Budweiser on world markets. No purchase price was disclosed, and the only assets A-B InBev bought was BMP’s Budweiser trademarks – its parent company transferred the actual brewery and employees to a different firm prior to the sale. Still, the deal could have big ramifications.
