I'm not sure that a company merger alone justifies merging the articles, although it certainly warrants explanation that they are owned by a single parent company. In general, I see a trend on wikipedia that I strongly disapprove of, which is that people will make a page for a parent company and then try to merge information on individual brands into that parent company, and often delete information in the process. I think that parent companies, in the long run, aren't particularly important--to the public, it is the brand and the beers it makes that matters (or other types of food product, or other products). This is especially true in cases where the parent company is only for administrative purposes and each child company still retains local production. Cazort (talk) 02:18, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
From the looks of the article this is a new entity and as such should probably have it's own page with Redhook and Widmer sections and redirects from both company pages. Neither article has been expanded much anyway.Awotter (talk) 06:17, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
