      - I'd be tempted to, but their market practices are nothing like the big breweries, plus they do meet requirements of being part of the Independent - colin May 10, 07:19 2
        
        The only reason they meet the requirements of the IBA is that the requirement was changed so they’d continued to qualify. :) -- nm - Super Daddy Princess May 10, 07:31 1

        I'm not suggesting they're trying to help craft brewers. I'm saying they're trying to improve their product. - Reagen May 10, 07:06 1
        
        I don't think it's in any way for the love of beer, it's for taking a piece back from the craft market. - colin May 10, 07:21
