We chose to do macro-breweries. What I found most interesting and at the same time confusing... all the contract brewing and distribution agreements. Simplest case: Company A owns, brews, and distributes a brand A globally. Most complication: Company A owns brand B and brews brand B in it's home country, but allows Company B to brew and distribute in other countries. The example that is coming to mind is Labatt. It was owned by Inbev (pre AB merger), but in the US it was brewed by Coors(?). While in grad school, I took a business class and had to do an industry analysis. We chose to do macro-breweries.
