Brewing Pumpkin Beer

If you haven’t started your pumpkin beer brew by now, you won’t make it by Halloween.  But, it doesn’t matter.  Pumpkin beer is good all year around.  You can definitely have a batch of pumpkin beer ready by Thanksgiving.  So, let’s get started!

This set of steps is from my first batch of pumpkin ever.  It’s a fairly new concept for me, so I had to really do some research to find the right stuff.

Fosters Bought By SABMiller

It looks like a case of third time’s the charm for brewing giant, SABMiller.

It has agreed to buy Foster’s Group for an increased price of $5.10 Australian dollars per share, valuing the Australian beermaker at just under $10 billion Australian dollars, that’s $10.2 billion U.S. dollars.

As part of the deal, Foster’s will also return $0.30 a share as well as a final dividend for the year to June.

Including debt, the total value of the deal comes to $11.5 billion Australian dollars.

SABMiller’s Chief Executive said his company was pleased with the agreed deal, which will now be put to Foster’s shareholders.

The London-based brewer of Peroni, Miller Lite and Grolsch has been chasing Foster’s since late June, first with a bid of $9.5 billion Australian dollars before taking the offer hostile at the same price in mid-August.

Foster’s rejected both approaches as being too low.

SABMiller says the bid is part of its strategy to create an attractive global spread of businesses to add to its operations – largely in the emerging markets of Africa, Latin America, Asia and Eastern Europe.
