Just when I though I wasn’t going to write any more about InBev’s acquisition of Anheuser-Busch…

Apparently, ten regular drinkers of Anheuser-Busch products filed suit in St. Louis to block the deal on antitrust grounds.

Beer Drinkers Challenge InBev-Anheuser-Busch Deal

The suit, filed in Anheuser-Busch’s hometown of St. Louis, does not seek financial damages but asks a judge to block the deal. The Department of Justice often reviews large acquisitions to determine if they are legal under U.S. law. But attorneys behind the lawsuit said they want to halt the deal regardless of the verdict in Washington.

“The Justice Department can do whatever they want. They have no absolutely no effect on private actions,” said Joseph Alioto, the lead attorney in the case. He declined to say Wednesday who was funding the lawsuit.
