Hometown Beers - are they on the level?

They advertise on the sports talk radio shows all the time. They sound fishy to me, like they have money to burn and they are trying to sound like something they aren't. The money they have for advertising makes me wonder.

Does anyone know about these guys? Are they a front for some massive brewing company trying to sneak in the back door of craft brewing?

I dunno - never heard of them, but I kinda get the feeling they are a distributorship with contract brewing. But again, I'm basically guessing. I found this profile info, but it is kinda vague - claims only three employees, and the it is a LLC under an umbrella, with a single location.
