Big business between two beer brewers

News broke Wednesday of a possible merger between the world’s biggest brewer, Anheuser-Busch InBev, and the second largest, SABMiller. It wouldn’t just be a big shake-up in the beer industry — the merger would place as one of the top 10 biggest deals of all time.
