I disagree with that. For that to be true distributors would have to be the ones that create demand, they don't its the consumer. When Jimmy Carter signed HR 1337 no one imagined it would give rise to the craft brewing industry. In that same vein, if the feds and the states lifted all...
There "theoretically" is nothing preventing them from doing that. Why haven't they done it? Probably the same reason GM can't build and mass produce a "Ferrari".
Well, if there is only one store and such demand for craft beer then you should open up a store that caters to that crowd. Respectfully I have to say that you are confusing "monopoly" with a lack of demand for craft beer.
Nonsense. 100 years ago there were as many breweries as there are today.
