Billy and Adolphus Busch are currently involved in a legal dispute with four other siblings over the fate of Grant’s Farm. The brothers would like the farm to stay in the family while the other siblings want it to be sold to the Saint Louis Zoo, all six of the siblings currently share ownership of the property. The Zoo would like to expand to Grant’s Farm so that it can do more work around endangered species and expand its educational program. Money that would be used to purchase the farm would come from a $30 million donation from ABInBev. The Busch brothers have made a counter offer to their siblings to buy the property, and they would like to build a brewery for their Kraftig beer on the farm. A ruling on this dispute is expected to be delivered by Thanksgiving.
