Balls.

Elysian is one of my favorite breweries.

I hope this deal doesn't affect their brewing choices and the quality of their beer.




Oh, and the Irony is amazing:

I hope the same.

I am disheartened by this and the 10 barrel acquisitions. They (especially Elysian) produce some quality beer worth drinking, but I don't care to spend money on an InBev product.

I'm all about fair capitalism. And because the big boys, particularly ABInBev, don't play fair with distribution and what have you; I won't be spending money on these beers either.

To be fair, I prefer not to spend money on beer in general. Of course when I get busy the pipeline gets thin and while I'm waiting for my own supply to build back up I do buy beer.

I guess it is best said like this. "I don't buy beer often, but when I do, it's always from a small craft brewery and never one owned by InBev."
