This makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I bet there are a few breweries within a 1000km radius that are feeling far from warm and fuzzy.  :D

Hopefully their beer won't be so expensive here now.

Maybe it might taste of hops as well, as opposed to the Stone imports I've had in the last six months.

I see they've also got a lot of negative feedback for their Kickstarter campaign which has been perceived as frankly grabby.

I don't mind buying old beer but I want it to be priced accordingly. €5 a bottle for an ipa with no hop aroma and little flavour just isn't on.

No point buying an old IPA

That was discussed on another thread here at the time and IIRC they were in date.

Arrogant Bastard.

I wonder will they setup a distribution co like they have in Cali? Could be great for small breweries in Europe.

They'll be the ruination of German beer.
