Sam Adams is an independent brewer... -- nm - colin May 10, 07:02 5
- technically, but with over a billion in sales per year wouldn't you group them more with the large corporate brewers? -- nm - decline May 10, 07:07 4
  - 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'll allow it ;) -- nm - colin May 10, 07:35
  - AB InBev has $55 billion in sales last year by comparison. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess May 10, 07:12
Better than Budweiser buying them. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess May 10, 06:24 6
- Bud is... trying? I'm curious to try this barrel aged thing they're rolling out. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 06:30 4
  - Nope. The bought craft brands to distance craft beer prices from their premium and standard offerings. And it's worked wonderfully. - colin May 10, 07:04 2
    - 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
  - The Copper Lager? It's actually really good. Bought one can a week or two ago and have actively purchased it a few more times. -- nm - Shaun May 10, 06:32
- true -- nm - decline May 10, 06:25
