I dont think its unfortunate, it'll be great for the industry depending on the circumstances.

A lot easier to convince banks and EI to invest in current breweries or new startups...

It might be time to start dusting off that group buy brewery idea!

Strange buy,if it is so. The fran well is a brew pub and while we know they are going to open a new brewery,to run along side the brewpub,the size I would have taught is too small for the multi-national. Was this also not a rumour around last year about coor's buying O'Hara's.

It would appear that Coor's are going to put their money where there mouth is,as the expression go's. This would suggest that a trend has really taken hold and has some way to go yet. Can only be good news for beer lovers. :)

I hope this is to fund the expansion that was publicised a couple of months  back.

Well White Shield is MC as well, so maybe its not the end of the world.
