I haven’t seen one and I’ve been wanting to do it myself for some time. One of those important things that just takes some time to do and I haven’t gotten to yet. Interested in doing such a chart? I’d be glad to post it prominently on the blog and maybe even make it a permanent fixture somehow.

I know, for example, the Miller (now MillerCoors) “family” includes such “small names” as Leine’s and Weinhardt’s, and Molson Coors (now MillerCoors) makes Blue Moon, A-B distributes Redhook, and all of them have stake ownership in various microbrews. I would love to see something that could show us who is “truly independent”, and who is connected to whom.

I think you’re splitting hairs. Call it what you will. When the two biggest beer companies in America combine forces it is a sign of their weakness and its bad for competition no matter how you look at it.

It only effects one country (albeit one of the larger ones). This isn’t the earth shattering consolidation people seem to think it is – it isn’t nearly as big as the SAB acquisition of Miller or the Interbrew merger with AmBev, for example.
