Noooooooo!

Look on the bright side, with AB's distribution muscle Goose Island Ice Cold taps could be in every bar in Ireland.

Sure it'll only be a case of bringing a camping stove to the pub then <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Why??!? WHY!?!
If they ruin the IPA I'll never forgive them...

On the other hand maybe the service in the Lincoln Park bar will improve... (And if they'd drop the ABV on the Bourbon County Stout a couple of points I think it could be amazing!)

Well maybe more people in the area will start drinking 3 Floyd's in the area now as a result...

The article says that Anheuser-Busch owns a 32% share in "The Craft Brewers Alliance"$$ wow that's an oxymoron now...

[Edit] Here's one more sentence with a bunch of .'s at the end for added effect... <!-- s;-) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;-) -->

It's touched on in the article but AB has had a stake in Goose Island for some time so I think this was bound to happen sooner or later. Looking on the bright side it's a sign that craft beer is becoming more mainstream, which has got to be good. Let's hope the fact that the head brewer is stepping down is not a bad sign.
