Message sethdude beers 708 º places 17 º 08:27 Tue 6/6/2017 Originally posted by Ibrew2or3 Originally posted by sethdude It matters because I need to know how much of my Premium membership money is going to an entity that will use such profit to destroy our brewery. If it’s a measly 10%, I may be able to live with myself. If it’s 48%, no way am I re-upping. ABI just lobbied our State legislature into passing a cooler leasing bill that allows them to control which beers are sold cold, and which are sold warm. Cold beer outsells warm beer 2 to 1. I need to know how much money I’m giving ABI, which allows them said power to bribe their way to an unfair playing field. ABI has been and will continue to do shit like this regardless of what’s happening here. And where is it in Joe’s post that tells us any money paid to ratebeer goes to ABI? Nowhere. Which is exactly why I would like more information regarding the deal.

At least upload an avatar before you pretend to give a shit about RateBeer. Welcome new user! I’ve seen a ton of these new people join recently with no identifying details and just stirring up shit. Go back to TalkBeer. Ok, not a new user, same question; what % does abinbev own? There are so many nefarious things they have done with lobbying and attacking smaller breweries.

That’s how minority interest accounting works. AB’s pro-rata share of RateBeer’s profits roll up.

You know that’s how the details of this particular investment works?

Message CapFlu P beers 5136 º places 238 º 22:25 Tue 6/6/2017 Question is: Did AB give Joe a % share in Budweiser’s profits?
Message nicolasgoddone beers 14 º 23:51 Tue 6/6/2017 Originally posted by DuffMan It doesn’t matter at all, because they aren’t allowed to do anything besides jerk off to the database. I’d wager that ratebeers database is one of the main reasons AIB was interested in the deal. If data was the only thing that they cared for interacting with the Ratebeer API would have sufficed. Its an information and data driven market today. I’m sure AIB got what they’ve bargained for.
