i went to a bar in lower manhattan last night because i fear it'll be gone in a few years when the lease runs out and the landlord wants them to pay 4 times what they were paying before. a pitcher of the house beer costs $8, which is a bargain in a city where that can be the price for one glass of craft beer. i nursed that pitcher for two hours. it was a good night

i've heard that st. bernardus abbt 12 is the exact same thing as westy 12, except far easier to find and drink and much cheaper. also it's not technically trappist

why does AB-InBev only buy a single microbrewery in a given city and region? they've bought Goose Island in Chicago, Blue Point in Long Island/NYC area, TenBarrel in Oregon, Elysian in Seattle, and now Wicked Weed in Asheville. i'm probably missing more but those are the ones that i know about. i imagine that there's a deliberate reason for it, but i can't put my finger on why

sam calagione, who's always been one of the loudest voices in the craft beer world against selling out, hates these buyouts because it allows AB-InBev to sell the acquired beers for cheaper even though they by and large keep their beers intact, effectively undercutting the competition. that's gotta be why they're doing that, right? the only microbrewery i've seen gone national under their umbrella is Goose Island and even then, it's just a select few beers
