    Yeah I watched them both several weeks ago. Both are great to watch while drinking a brew for sure!

    Beer Wars made me sad though. After watching it I now have a hard time buying any beer that InBev has its hands in and that includes Redhook. :slight_frown:

    13 years in September... I think we're just at a point where beer is no longer an issue. Like her shoes.

    So the shoes someday no longer become an issue, tell that to Jimmy Chu

    Not to mention Goose Island which some people just can't help themselves.
    Hell bud even has their hands in Kona and a few other craft labels, even if it's not a large share.
    But yeah Beer Wars made me stop buying those brands. Hell I even feel bad buying Yuengling because they are so big.

    It was Big Beer that got Dogfish's show canceled too. They threatened to pull ad revenue from the station. I'm glad Brewing TV exists on Northern Brewer's site. I wish DFH would bring back the show on the net or something.

    I don't care if Goose Island starts killing kittens. I'm still going to drink BCBS.

    Is Greg Koch of Stone related to Jim Koch of Sam Adams?

    Its one thing to be "BIG" and another to be a company that is trying to crush its competition through lawsuits or buyouts and then destroying them. That's why I can't support InBev-AB. Yuengling has done nothing wrong other than survive this long.

    Awesome news man now I can buy it guilt free. =)
    It's my go-to cheap beer but I always felt a twinge of guilt buying it.

    Compromise and separate bank accounts—two keys to a happy marriage. I'm still working on the other ones...
