While Anheuser-Busch has agreed to the deal at $70 a share deal 2 weeks ago, It's still not a done deal. Not only does the SEC have to approve the sale but the share holders get to vote. Also it seems "Anheuser-Busch owns a 50% share in Grupo Modelo, which said in a statement that its relationship with Anheuser-Busch gives it consent rights to the deal."

Blue Moon is brewed by Coors.
I worked for Coors for about 3.5 years up in Redwood City.
TBH I think that the sale is a good thing for Budweiser. It will open many doors for them that may appear to be open now but are not.
In-Bev will add positively to it's image. I don't for see any issues from the shareholders approval process. Time will tell though.
