Big Beer Duopoly a Primer for Policymakers and Regulators
Big Beer Duopoly A Primer for Policymakers and Regulators Marin Institute Report October 2009 Marin Institute Big Beer Duopoly A Primer for Policymakers and Regulators Executive Summary While the U.S. beer industry has been consolidating at a rapid pace for years, 2008 saw the most dramatic changes in industry history to date. With the creation of two new global corporate entities, Anheuser-Busch InBev (ABI) and MillerCoors, how beer is marketed and sold in this country will never be the same. Anheuser-Busch InBev is based in Belgium and largely supported and managed by Brazilian leadership, while MillerCoors is majority-controlled by SABMiller out of London. It is critical for federal and state policymakers, as well as alcohol regulators and control advocates to understand these changes and anticipate forthcoming challenges from this new duopoly. This report describes the two industry players who now control 80 percent of the U.S. beer market, and offers responses to new policy challenges that are likely to negatively impact public health and safety. The new beer duopoly brings tremendous power to ABI and MillerCoors: power that impacts Congress, the Office of the President, federal agencies, and state lawmakers and regulators. Summary of Findings • Beer industry consolidation has resulted in the concentration of corporate power and beer market control in the hands of two beer giants, Anheuser-Busch InBev (ABI) and MillerCoors LLC. • The American beer industry is no longer American. Eighty percent of the U.S. beer industry is controlled by one corporation based in Belgium, and another based in England. • The mergers of ABI and MillerCoors occurred within months of each other, and both were approved much quicker than the usual merger process. -
