The Impending Train Wreck Over 10 Barrel

It's getting rather complicated, but Maletis still "owns" 10 Barrel in most of the city. What we're actually dealing with is the fact that Maletis is made of several divisions (for lack of a better term); there's "Maletis Beverage", which has the rights to AB products in most of Portland, and then there's "Maletis South", a separate division they created to distribute everything other than AB in places where other companies have the rights to AB's portfolio.

Maletis South's territory overlaps most of Western Beverage, so until the buyout they were able to sell 10 Barrel, Ninkasi, and everything else "non-AB" in that area. What they actually agreed to was selling the 10 Barrel rights for Maletis South to Western, so that Western could actually sell their own brand in their own territory. Since Maletis Beverage still owns the rights to the AB portfolio in most of the city they get to keep selling 10 Barrel in their territory.

Here's a crappy image showing what I mean:

That's what I figured/assumed. Didn't think Western would re-instate Morgan's non-AB territory
