It's all about who's selling out! We revisit the DogFish Head and Sam Adams merger along with the Craft Beer Alliance to sell everything they have to their dark corporate masters.
Also apparently you can get a stolen van back if you just offer free beer. Who knew?
And Urban Artifact throws their friends in retail some love with a taproom ONLY release. We talk at length about the changing landscape along with the trends and forces that are shaping the industry. Strap in, everyone!
