Indiana-based Upland Brewing Company says it isn't concerned about the possible merger of Anheuser-Busch InBev and SABMiller.
If the two global brewers merged, they would account for 29 percent of the world's beer market.
Upland Brewing Company President Doug Dayhoff says anti-trust laws in the U.S. would likely require the companies to be separate.
He says he thinks Upland's consumers can distinguish between brewers like Upland and larger craft beer brands, which are sometimes owned and controlled by large industrial brewers.
"At the end of the day, you've gotta believe in the American consumer, and you have to keep being out in the community and telling your story the way that we always do, and that's how we built the business," Dayhoff says.
He says the fundamentals of their business likely won't change as larger brewers merge, but he says the biggest concern about these kinds of buyouts is how it will affect distribution.
