Brewery's unethical behavior in Chicago?

I think the difference is that Deb was implying BMC were driving the grafting/kickbacks, which we all assume but Greg is accusing a craft brewer which some may not assume.

 

He said he calls out practices, not brewers. lol

 

Does anyone know details on the DFH v. Glunz lawsuit? I know New Holland was on there as well, but was DFH not being repped like they thought because of this sort of thing? I'm interested to dig more into it.

There is a good look at the lawsuit, with the entire legal document available...
From what I have heard from distributors, 10 times the annual profit is the going rate for distro rights.

 

If he doesn't name names, he can't be sued. And if any of his followers are associated with the brewery in question, they probably got the message.

 

Speak for yourself! Er...opps. My cover is blown.


Kidding aside....things ARE getting better in Chicago. Al Capone...IS dead. One of our 2 imprisoned Governors was released to home confinement yesterday. We have the Prez as our favorite son and his bud is mayor. We are STILL the land of Lincoln. Lagunitas is coming. We can still cross behind the cheddar-curtain to get our New Glarus. The Hawks are 6-0-1. Derrick Rose is closer to returning than not. Da Bears can maybe draft some O-Linemen this year. The Cubs are rebuilding. And most importantly.....BCBS was available like never before across this town. So what's up with the vague tweet stuff?

 

Just a guess here...but, perhaps getting ready to do a beard-yeast brew if the stuff Rogue is going to put out takes off?

 

How do you tell the difference between a hipster beard and a lazy man I need to grow this for warmth beard?

 

Maybe this is just paranoia which would fall in line with him looking more and more like the Unibomber all the time.

 

WHOA! Dude's that serious?!?! This shit just got scandalous, y'all...

 

awe cmon, tell us!

 

What's up with the tip toe? Out with it if you know the reference. I feel that many in this thread are "in the know" of the distribution environment yet I haven't seen any evidence of a particular brewery being the one in question.

 

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with this girl who knows what is going on in the current distributor environment. I guess it's pretty serious.

 

Word on the street is, all of the tattoos on Three Floyds employees are fake.

 

Just stopping by to say that I miss Trey and it will take me weeks to get accustomed to Chuck.

 

Here I always figured Pasta was your first, last, and only lover...

 

If we're talking larger craft brewers in Chicago, there are really only two that come to mind: Goose Island and Two Brothers. I suspect that Greg Koch would not really consider Goose a craft brewer anymore, so that leaves Two Brothers. Which... doesn't make much sense to me. I know Windy City Distribution is in flux right now -- is Stone getting passed off to another distributor, one that Greg doesn't like? And so he's conflating the distributor and the brewery? If I recall, Stone took so long to enter the Chicago market because they didn't want to work with any of the other distributors.

But even as Two Brothers has kind of slid into "eh, they're not bad", I would not have expected to them to get all unethical. Where's The Question when we need him?!

 

The people in the know aren't going to come on BA and give it up. Respect.

 

Anyone else notice how music sucks these days? It's just guys with beards in sweaters and girls in 60's dresses with acoustic instruments & friends that yell "Hey" from across a poorly mic'd room for backing vocals.

 

that sounds pretty unique, who are you referring to?\

also, I should clip my nails

 

So no Lumineers concert for you anytime soon, huh?

Ho, hey!
