Given Anheuser-Busch's whirlwind of new product and brand acquisition activity, there have been rumors afoot about potential A-B craft brewery acquisitions.

The most recent rumor centered around A-B talks with the Alaskan Brewing Company, but the Alaskans say the story is completely groundless.

"There are some rumors swirling around out there in the trade that we are in negotiations with Anheuser-Busch," says Kristi Monroe, marketing communications director, Alaskan Brewing Co. "This is not true in any sense of the word. We are not talking with them at all."
