As a business move its smart. I get why they do and have seemingly endless money thrown at them. Soon you will see blue point, 10 barrel and elysian everywhere but their quality will suffer like GI except the belgians and barrel age stuff.

If you where in their shoes, it would be hard to say no but spending 20yrs building your brewery to just get it bought out is a tough decision (imo) especially they have a beer called (corporate beer still sucks) loser pale ale. beer community will bitch for a while and forget. one day the gov will step in when they fell like they are creating a monopoly

Smart business dictates an exit strategy. You have to go one way or the other, might as be really ****ing rich for all that hard work.

I'm not going to fault craft brewers for letting themselves be bought. Especially if they retain some or all control.

I'm not a businessman but i know that much.

And it's going to keep happening more and more often.

Well I did it. Bought something I've never tried. Hope it was worth the price.

Cheers to the weekend finally being here friends.


Case in point.
 
Thanks. Thought I finally did something good for myself. I'll just cry a little into each bottle to give it some pinash.
 
Water at work. Looking like no work tomorrow, finished all my paperwork and I'm ready for 5 o'clock to get here!
 
Diet Coke right now.

I've got quite the lineup for tonight. Going out for dinner, then probably to the bar to make my wife buy me stupidly expensive bottles (they don't have it on the list but they always seem to get Fou'Foune in right about now, so maybe I'll get lucky).

And then these three when I get home. Westy 12, 2000 Bigfoot, and then 2002 Old Guardian.

Happy birthday to me.

Sick bro. Happy Birthday!
