Look Out Craft Breweries - Here Comes BMC...

[Grossy]

Beer Wars is a 1 sided movie that stretches a lot of truths. I do not like BMC but it has nothing to do with that movie.

Perhaps it is one sided, perhaps it is not. But in no way does that mean one should not watch it. After watching the movie I challenge anyone to form their own opinions, then do their own research.

So far my research has not contradicted anything that I learned from that movie.

Now you may be right, the Movie did not go into how the craft brew industry is in anyway a threat to BMC. On the other hand, perhaps it is because the craft brew industry is not a threat.

Example from the movie: Dogfish Head Beer is in fact being sued by Anheuser-Busch/InBev , for using the name Punkin Ale. Punkin being to close to the word Pumpkin. InBev does not care if they win, as long as they make Dogfish Head spend money on lawyers.

By the way InBev just bought one of the best craft brewery in the nation, Goose Island.

Do not get me wrong, I am not saying the movie is rubbish, don't watch it. I am saying it stretches truth and is designed to get you riled up.

I do not need research. I have 1st hand experience with BMC screwing with any would be new brewery in my state. Basically, now it is a waste of time to try to open one now... Then, top that in with neither company being American owned, that means at the end of the day all the profits go overseas.

I am also aware of GI and I would not call it the best craft brewery in the nation but that is your opinion and I can respect that. I drank very little GI before and now drink none. I absolutely refuse to support BMC.
