http://www.realbeer.com/blog/?p=2313 What part of beer don't you understand?

I haven't really seen this reported elsewhere. Should be interesting to see what the craft beer supporters that believe that Sam Adams are the nice guy craft brewers but believe any brewery acquisition is evil. Some don't understand that business is business no matter what industry you're in. Sam Adams as a publicly traded company has to do what needs to be done to produce a return on shareholder value and buying up competition and expanding the company and it's value is one of those things. It will be interesting to see as time goes on if they continue to snatch up smaller brewers much the way InBev and MillerCoors have been in the craft market too. Interesting.
