Belt’s Beer Garden: Selling Out
As a craft beer fan I’m supposed to hate AB In-Bev (those pesky people over at Budweiser) because they continue to buy up good breweries…and, for the most part I do. But I don’t hate all the breweries that they control. A lot of people leave a brewery once it gets bought out (see what happened to Wicked Weed!)
But, to some extent, I get selling out to them…it’s the ultimate goal really. However, I hate that these places can still call themselves “craft breweries” even though they’re owned by the Big Guys. I feel like they need to have an “*” next to their name or something just to let you know that they’re owned by someone else. It’s only right.
