Tomorrow..... maybe go.... beneath the ground

I'm feeling a bit like the Dark Peter character that Jerry sang of.... I'm surrounded by bad news.....in politics, in sports, technology, the brokerage industry, my commute.....bleak outlooks at every turn in the road.......and now sadly.... even in my BEER.........the American craft brewing industry was one of the few bright spots in this country....but it's all deception....INBEV.....the blegiam/Brazilian conglomerate that bought Anheauser Bush a decade ago has quietly been snapping up some of America's best little breweries....they have been cutting deals with MLB stadiums and selling their Budweiser products of course.....but also THEIR craft beers ( which technically by definition are no longer true craft beers) Sam Adams and Coors ....2 Great American Brewers have been kicked to the curb at a number of stadiums (including Nationals park in our nation's capital).....these sneaky bastards are building these craft beer lodges around the country where they pitch THEIR beers to the dopey AMERICANS who think they are supporting the little guy.... what is wrong with this country.....why does every successful business cash out at the first opportunity and sell it's blood and soul to a bigger , sometimes foreign fish...... BLUE Point Brewing of Long island has a great website....real NY attitude loaded with curses and a we don't give a fuck approach.. just a bunch of guys that Brew beer for themselves and then sell whatever is left over.... awesome....but it too is bullshit....owned by inbev but designed to appear local.... I smelled a rat..... I looked it up.....I was right....GOLDEN ROAD of Los Angeles ? One of the best IPA's I have ever had.....inbev........ Goose Island of Chicago ? .....inbev....... BRECKENRIDGE Brewery....a delicious beer from the Rockies ?.....inbev..... Elysian....Four Peaks and Devil's Backbone are just a few of the others.... never mind the Syrian refugees.....we are under attack from the belgaminians....

There ought to be a law! Can't be labeled "craft", unless it's 'home' brewed and owned. The nerve!!!
