?

Would you support a craft brewery who resisted a macro buy-out if you didn't like their beer?

    You do know that the AB inBev distributor is not owned by AB inBev, right? Sounds like an evil distributor... and they're all evil.

    I thought this was a discussion about breweries, not distributors. Don't even get me started on the horror stories that I have heard about distributors including one Texas craft brewer who basically had to bribe the local craft brew distributor to carry his product on their trucks.

    I think we can all agree that the three-tier system needs to be boycotted... but that would mean no beer!

    I did not know that, thank you for educating me. Perhaps I have my story wrong then. Whoever the person was, it certainly sounded like he worked for AB-Inbev as he was adamant that they needed to kick out the Long Trail tap and add some AB-inbev tap (I think it was Bud Light Wheat, or whatever that stuff was that came out a few years ago). Is something distributors typically do or is it something AB-inbev employees have been known to do?
