    GI had the same issue. They let the owner keep the brewpub as his own entity and then bought him out once the laws changed.

    Of course, we don't know if there ever will be a deal, but how does the MN law define ownership? 50% or more?

    Not a fan of either brewery. Wish them well, but won't be sending a wedding gift.

    Big Eddy is my favorite of either brewery, much as it pains me to like a Leinie's.

    I really have some love for Surly, but a Leinie's collab? That shark done bin jumped. A craft-ish subsidiary of a brewing megacorp doesn't add up to much in the collaboration department. A honeyed Hell would be intriguing, but I don't know that they would have to go across the border to find that expertise.

    Still waiting for the "big news coming soon" to be revealed if they aren't selling out or collaborating.

    There was no big news. Surly was just making fun of the ill-informed masses of beer geeks that, without evidence, quickly jump to conclusions about situations they know little about.

    Kudos, Surly.
