Back in the 70s when I was stationed at Ft Bliss, TX , I was always asked why I didn't bring Coors home to NC when I was on leave since it was not available in NC. My answer "why, not worth the effort !"

Great share and hopefully helps people to understand more how Craft Brewers are fighting battles that are a bit underhanded. Personally I love Craft Beer, so when I see the Multinational Brewers buying up, buying shares (their new tactic), or hindering the growth of Craft Beer it really upsets me.
“The many faux craft, crafty, captive, capitulated and acquired brands are weapons in the arsenal of the big breweries and used to control as much of the market as possible,” said Eric Wallace, co-founder of Longmont’s Left Hand Brewing Co. and Brewers Association executive committee chairman, as reported by Brewbound. “(Through) clever and deceptive packaging design, omission of ownership statements on labels, intellectual property violations, denigrating and expensive marketing campaigns, monopolistic practices choking off raw materials and distribution channels, rampant violations of trade practices and exclusionary tactics in venues and accounts in many markets, these guys are out to eat our collective lunch and take your kids’ lunch money as well.”
I really love Left Hand Brewing and highly recommend getting a Mountain Mixer or the Milk Stout on Nitro Draft.
