I just don't get how BMC "screws craft breweries with their practices". Care to explain using a source OTHER than Beer Wars?
Sure thing. Here in Texas you cannot buy a six pack of beer after a brewery tour. The Saint Arnold brewery headed up a bill in our legislature that would allow this to happen and felt as though it would have a big impact on their business. The bill was HB602.
After appearing as though it would pass, AB-InBev used some swift maneuvering to make sure it didn't happen.
