Carly Fisher of The Feast tweeted this at us this morning<\/a>, and we thought it interesting enough to pass it on to you, Constant Reader: Dogfish Head’s Sam Calagione on the Goose Island Sale. Calagione was at an event last night where The Feast caught up with him.\u00a0 After some discussion, they touched upon the Goose Island\/A-B buyout<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can find that video here<\/a>, since we can’t seem to embed it yet.\u00a0 But this is what it looks like, sorta, if we were to embed it.\u00a0 Go watch it, then come back.<\/p>\n

\"Sam<\/a><\/p>\n

You can tell Sam is trying to be diplomatic, but one particular statement stands out when he uses this phrase:<\/p>\n

“One-time craft brewers.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Zing.<\/p>\n

He goes on to explain that he loves having “that indie rep” and digs being the David among Goliaths (which, of course, is also arguable – he’s a pretty big “David” compared to almost all others).\u00a0 Cheers to Sam for speaking his mind and also, we presume, saying what a lot of other craft brewers are thinking.<\/p>\n

Goose Island, of course, sold to Anheuser-Busch\u00a0just a few days ago, the first major craft brewer to sell to a larger macrobrewery. Will more breweries sell to\u00a0huge brewing companies? Or\u00a0is this just an outlier in an otherwise large wave of independent craft brewing? Or both! Who knows!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
