Dive Brief:

• Both sides have made their case in the gender-bias trial that pits a former executive with Anheuser Busch (AB) InBev against the brewing powerhouse.
• The case went to the jury yesterday. But jurors were unable to reach a decision after five hours, and court was dismissed. Deliberations resume today. 
• Francine Katz, the former vice president for communications and public affairs for A-B and the highest-ranking woman at the company, claims the company paid her male predecessor more than her because of a company culture that belittled the contributions of women.

Dive Insight:

The city of St. Louis (and much of the beer industry) has followed the case closely during the past two weeks as local business celebrities and members of the Busch family were called to testify.

Now the case is in the hands of the jury. The folks at AB InBev, the residents of St. Louis, and anyone interested in the role that gender plays in the corporate world will just have to wait to see how the case ends.
