Breweries Come & Go in Distribution

Oh, you're good. I didn't view this as being negative at all.

 

The Green’s on Buford Highway usually has a few bombers of their stouts if I remember correctly. We started getting cans of their core lineup so you should be able to run into.

 

Bear Republic & Central City

 

We're pretty spoiled in MA. I'm struggling to come up with many breweries that have pulled out. Most of the ones I can think of were the result of buy-outs or mergers (Wicked Weed, Funky Buddha). Even Bear Republic came back after their downsizing, albeit in a limited capacity. A lot of larger breweries from other regions have made cuts to what they send here, but I wanna say Green Flash is the only one to straight up leave in recent years.

 

There are over 3,000 licensed beer wholesalers in the US. AB owns 28 wholesale distributors (which was your claim).

By agreement with the DoJ in U.S v. Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV and SABMiller plc - Modified Judgement 10/22/18, ABInBev agreed not to own distributorships which would allow them to control more than 10% of their total sales.

Defendant ABI shall not acquire any equity interests in, or any ownership or control of the assets of, a Distributor if (i) such acquisition would transform said Distributor into an ABI-Owned Distributor, and (ii) as measured on the day of entering into an agreement for such acquisition more than ten percent ( 10% ), by volume, of Defendant ABI' s Beer sold in the Territory would be sold through ABI-Owned Distributors after such acquisition.

 

I found it!! I had to drive 30 miles but I found a store in Kalamazoo that got six 6-packs of it. (One is left plus 5 bottles in the singles section at Mega-Bev in Oshtemo for anyone else who is interested.)

 

North Coast Brewery in Myrtle Beach.
I have panic attacks if my stock of Old Rasputin gets low.
I stock up on it whenever I visit Florida.
