U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Mike Lee (R-UT), the ranking member and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy, and Consumer Rights, today announced the committee will hold a hearing on Anheuser-Busch Inbevs proposal to purchase SABMiller. The hearing will examine how the proposed merger of the worlds two biggest beer producers would impact competition and consumers across the country.\r\nThis hearing will allow us the opportunity to examine this deal closely,including theproposed divestitures, to see how it will impact the price of beer for consumers and if it will harm the craft brewers that are creating jobs and economic growth across the country, said Klobuchar. We must ensure competition in the $100 billion a year beer industry remains on tap.\r\n\"This hearing will provide an opportunity to publicly examine the impact of the so-called 'beerhemoth' merger on consumers and for the Antitrust Subcommittee to continue its oversight of potentially anticompetitive market consolidation, Lee said. I look forward to a productive and informative discussion.\"\r\nThe hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, December 8 at 10:00 a.m. EST in Dirksen Senate Office Building 226, and will stream here.Witnesses include:\r\nCarlos Brito\r\nCEO, Anheuser-Busch InBev\r\n\r\nMark Hunter\r\nPresident & CEO, Molson Coors\r\n\r\nBob Pease\r\nCEO, Brewers Association\r\n\r\nCraig Purser\r\nPresident & CEO, National Beer Wholesalers Association\r\n\r\nJ.
