Supplies are rapidly running low in bars and supermarkets as unions have set up blockades outside the country's largest breweries to protest proposed job cuts. For nearly two weeks, picketers have stacked crates and set fires to block the entrances to the headquarters of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest brewer, in the city of Leuven, as well as other plants. In beer-loving Belgium, the problem has been particularly acute: beer sales plummeted by 20% between 2000 and 2008. AB InBev is focusing on a grand strategy, which means that what happens in Belgium now is small beer.
Look out "Bud" drinkers.........the price's are about to soar........
