    Exactly, I recall many IG posts and Tweets wishing the best for Shaun going on to More from Ram and their employees. And likewise from Shaun thanking RAM. Big farewell party and kegs tapped! Didn't see any real thank you More Brewing, or vice versa, well so far. But as @csmakio stated "by honest people" and also word genuinely in there too on all their social media.

    But more importantly: beer distro!

    I'm usually one to shoot down conspiracy theories ... but the silence is deafening on this one.

    February 24th, 2017 was his going away party at RAM. The most interesting question (I think) was if his arrangement was for 2 years or if it was open-ended and the timing just happened to land around a similar time of year. The other fascinating question is where he’s brewing/canning out of. Given the current market, there are lots of candidates

    MoRE did remove the “About Us” on their webpage. Had a Bio on the owners, Shaun and Evan. That’s about the only public action I’ve seen from MoRE today.

    I feel like there's enough people who actively monitor ILCC license applications that this would've come to light already if they were far enough into the process to say beer is weeks away .

    Will be interesting to hear the whole story if it ever comes out.

    How does it work with beers he brewed at more? Is he able to reproduce “henna” and the likes Under a different name or do the recipes belong to more?

    The names belong to More obviously. Recipes can’t really be copyrighted, and even if they could it would be remarkably easy to get around it.

    Because it’s not mutual.

    This is Shawn and Evan dumping MoRe in every sense of the word.

    And I’m certain you won’t find people in this thread leaping to defend the owners of MoRe.

    x1000000. listen to the podcast. im 20 minutes in and its incredibly clear this wasnt a friendly split.

    sounds like the rapid expansion plans pushed shaun over the edge. its very clear shaun and evan jumped ship because their vision didnt align with sonny and perry.

    I think you all are missing the most important part of the story. There are 65 barrels filled with Shaun's beer at MoRE. If their reputation craters and the hype disappears, does that mean I'll have a shot at getting some bottles?

    First off, I’m saying chances this name stays seems pretty unlikely.

    Industrial complex tucked in the corner of 22 and Quentin. Facility Black Belt Brewing brewed out of before they tanked. Lake Zurich Brewing then took over the spot.

    Sounds like Facility Black Belt wasn’t too lean...

    Probably not because some of them are colabs with Bottle Logic, Voodoo and Weldwerks (I think on WW, if not it's some other hype brewery).
