Here's an interesting video by Sam Caligione of Dogfish Brewing talking -- Stork 03/25/2018 09:45AM
If you consider the growth in the craft beer industry, I’ve been surprised -- Hoakie82 03/24/2018 4:32PM
If you are expanding across the nation, is it comparable -- One4VT 03/25/2018 07:03AM
OK, let me boil all of this down for you people. "Green Flash" is a sunset -- Coach McGuirk 03/24/2018 5:55PM
The part of the female form that I appreciate the most. Woof. ** -- CPRVHokie 03/24/2018 6:13PM
Know a couple of people that own a microbrewery -- Hokie1992 03/24/2018 5:16PM
Most are small operations that are essentially neighborhood bars -- 133743Hokie 03/24/2018 8:16PM
Why? The whole point of that industry, and product, is to not compete -- Tafkam Hokie 03/24/2018 5:15PM
The point of any business is to make a profit. I realize they can’t compete -- Hoakie82 03/24/2018 5:56PM
Absolutely see some consolidation... -- `lag 03/24/2018 6:52PM
Devils Backbone was looking to expand. InBev was a means to -- 133743Hokie 03/25/2018 09:21AM
Also to develop a huge distribution network -- `lag 03/25/2018 09:32AM
It’ll be interesting to see what happens. I’d be curious to know if InBev -- Hoakie82 03/24/2018 7:11PM
So you won't purchase a beer you like because they are now owned by a -- 133743Hokie 03/25/2018 09:26AM
That’s not what I said. I said all things being equal I’d go with the -- Hoakie82 03/25/2018 12:15PM
DB IS a local craft beer ** -- 133743Hokie 03/25/2018 3:20PM
I should’ve clarified. An independent craft brewer. ** -- Hoakie82 03/25/2018 3:30PM
Im now drinking a beer i like equally as much as DB VL -- One4VT 03/25/2018 09:34AM
And to top it off, price is generally the same for 6 pack -- One4VT 03/25/2018 09:45AM
They have settled on the same 6 pack price almost as if they’re colluding. ** -- Hoakie82 03/25/2018 12:07PM
In va at least, brewers are forced to use a distributor... -- One4VT 03/25/2018 5:14PM
Ya yhink? ** -- 133743Hokie 03/25/2018 3:40PM
Well, As I've said, the moment I see Stella Artois on one of their taps... -- `lag 03/24/2018 7:21PM
No, InBev wants to help DB dominate VA. They are purchasing -- 133743Hokie 03/25/2018 09:31AM
Well, they want to control a threat to their core business, beat 'em or -- `lag 03/25/2018 09:35AM
One, craft brewers are not a threat to their business -- 133743Hokie 03/25/2018 09:42AM
This is incomplete. InBev most valuable asset is the Budweiser brand. On -- CPRVHokie 03/25/2018 10:11AM
It has something to do with beer... they arent investing in random offsets -- One4VT 03/25/2018 10:22AM
Beer, widgets, whatever. InBev is doing what companies do...protecting -- CPRVHokie 03/25/2018 11:47AM
And.... -- `lag 03/25/2018 10:30AM
Which means microbreweries hold a huge -- Hokie1992 03/24/2018 5:21PM
Yup. Just read up on that. To be honest, I think their beers suck. But I -- Stork 03/24/2018 5:08PM
I don’t know their business plan but I don’t think the tasting room was the -- Hoakie82 03/24/2018 5:40PM
West Coast brewers have been opening East Coast facilities -- Stork 03/24/2018 5:49PM
Plus craft brewing really started out west ** -- 133743Hokie 03/25/2018 09:34AM
I think the craft brewery craze started earlier in the West so it made -- Hoakie82 03/24/2018 6:18PM
...years ago, maybe thirty, VB had a “micro” called Chesbay... -- chumley 03/24/2018 6:10PM
Loved that place. Had a spot near convention center, and another off London -- Stork 03/24/2018 6:12PM
...found this surprisingly fast... -- chumley 03/24/2018 6:15PM
Do you have a link to the story? Want to forward that to a few friends. ** -- EDGEMAN 03/24/2018 4:35PM
Here you go. -- Stork 03/24/2018 5:09PM
That’s a different article from what I posted & more telling. I hope -- Hoakie82 03/24/2018 6:58PM
I couldn’t figure it out so I cut & pasted it. It’s on the local Channel 13 -- Hoakie82 03/24/2018 4:48PM
The VB brewery is great, but I haven't noticed their products in stores... -- EDGEMAN 03/24/2018 4:34PM
...drove past there this afternoon... -- chumley 03/24/2018 4:43PM
It's a leverage problem not a sales problem. Grew too fast. Classic mistake -- CPRVHokie 03/24/2018 5:11PM
Agreed ** -- Stork 03/24/2018 5:54PM
Too fast? That’s their second location...lol ** -- EDGEMAN 03/24/2018 5:45PM
I know they bought at least 2 other breweries because they’ve kept their -- Hoakie82 03/24/2018 6:30PM
