Trouble Brewing for Kuntory?


The monster that may be the world's largest drink producer may not be all it's cracked up to be according to Kirin Brewery Chief Koichi Matsuzawa. It seems like Mr. Matsuzawa thinks that if Kirin/Suntory (read Kuntory!) cut some of their overlapping products--they may see decrease in customer numbers.








Mr. Matsuzawa is also an acclaimed mathematician:



"We want to see (the synergy effects of) one plus one equaling two and something extra, but there is a risk that it could result in a minus," he said.

I know all of you are waiting to see what will happen when these giants merge. The question remains: With all of that money and brewing equipment, will they finally brew something with some real taste?

Kuntory is wasting no time in getting busy. This is just foreshadowing things to come. Kuntory is here to rule the world!!
