Random Beer Thoughts

[agrippin]

Makes sense, Sam Adams volumes continue to decrease to the rest of their portfolio while DFH keeps growing their brands. More SeaQuench is on the way.

So rom what I hear BBco can't call themselves a craft brewery as they are selling mostly seltzer malt liquor water now. I guess they can go back to calling themselves a craft brewery now. That stock is going to go way up as more and more college chicks are introduced to the malt liquor water

 

[ABSTRACTlegend]

so are they called Sams adams now?

 

[jaeselector]

Ha! They both are irrelevant, so who cares?

Who the **** talks about DFH anymore? I thought Boston Beer Co closed decades ago . . .

Who the **** talks about DFH anymore?

all my local liquor stores TBH

Sam RN:

I kinda heard Sam “bought into” SA to pay off some BBCo debt rather than look to a bigger player to pay it off.....

 

[jaeselector]

Bah . . . they're horrible and gimmicky. I haven't had a good beer from them in years and years (full disclosure, I'm from MD and still vacation in Rehoboth annually, so end up begrudgingly drinking DFH by default).

You thought the second largest craft brewery in America closed decades ago?

You need to get out of the house more often.

I haven’t bought any Sam Adams or DFH in many years either, but saying that the second largest craft brewery in America, and one that is up 15% Y/Y (remarkably) when most of the national companies are struggling, is “irrelevant” is not a good hot take. Yes they don’t excite people who register for a beer nerd website, but we make up an irrelevant fraction of their market.

Exactly my point. Thanks. I actually don't care about BBCo . . . I was more talking **** about DFH.

I agree with everything you just said, but then you get articles with Jim Koch whining about how they can't appeal to people and I always wonder where the truth lies.

Lots of hot takes in this thread RN.

Sam Adams makes the hottest lambics guyz. How dare you.

Jim Koch has been salty for years that people won't kiss his ass for what he thinks is his role in craft beer's history.

Hey he opened more than a decade after New Albion! He invented the category

 

[beerindex]

Of no interest to newmoney IPA traders, sure. But objectively, their large craft market share suggests that they're very damn relevant.

Are you the dude posting in the Cleveland craft beer fb page right now? Because if so stop comparing ******* masthead to dogfish head and bbco.

I mean, I’m not a fan of BBC, but give credit where credit is due. Boston Beer and Brooklyn, among others, were pioneers on the east coast and the beer industry wouldn’t be the same if they didn’t exist. Don’t @ me, this is not a hot take.

A perfect pair of contract brewers pretending to rep major east coast cities.

What's a "cleveland"?

 

[purephase]

I haven't checked BA yet to see if anyone has made my favorite kind of post whenever one of these mergers/acquistions goes down: If boring ol' Dogfish Head is worth that much, can you imagine how much Side Project/J Wakefield/Hill Farmstead would go for??!

And building the production and distribution foundation for craft brewers across the country. Try better.
