If you can't beat 'em - buy 'em. Nice little profit for the previous owners but it makes you a total sellout.

I'm no fan of ABInBev, but the quality at Goose Island hasn't gone downhill as far as I can tell.

I thought Breck's beer wasn't that good anyway. They just build that huge compound off of Santa Fe.

That's an aspect of our free enterprise anything-goes capitalism that bugs me; big fish eat small fish to kill competition.

Breckenridge beer was never anything special in our land of thousands of microbrews. I don't think quality will change. The major beer giants have shown that they respect the craft beer culture (Coors 'Native' is a huge success).

Hell, Volkswagen owns Lamborghini, and little has changed.

Volkswagen isn't gonna own much of anything when the world governments and ticked off owners get through with them, but that's an entirely different thread.

There will be tons more beer to sample, so I'm not too concerned about not finding something I like.

It's rumored that New Belgium could be the next one to go to the dark side.
