Both of these are Anheuser-Busch wholesaler….but interesting news coming from Shanken:

Anheuser-Busch wholesaler Grey Eagle Distributors has agreed to buy  Illinois Distribution Co., another A-B wholesaler based in Belleville,  Illinois. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. It would allow  Maryland Heights, Missouri-based Grey Eagle to acquire Illinois  Distributing’s assets and sales territory. An approval by A-B is  required and is expected by the end of the year. The purchase would add  2.6 million cases to Grey Eagle’s business, which already sells about 7  million cases of beer per year. Grey Eagle will keep Illinois  Distributing’s operations in Belleville.
