Chicago's Goose Island Brewery is now owned by Anheuser-Busch

The brewmaster has quit, cease supporting.

Macrobreweries (the big guys, A-B, Coors, Miller, etc.) buy microbreweries to undermine the microbrew industry.  They buy brands like Leinenkugel and Blue Moon, use their macrobrew market share and economies of scale to undercut real microbreweries on price while getting their products better placement at bars and liquor stores.  It’s an effort to kill the microbrew industry and limit consumer choices.  If you support brewer creativity please cease purchasing Goose Island (or, for that matter, Blue Moon and Leinenkugel) immediately.

[Not to mention Goose Island kind of sucks anyhow.]

 I like 312, but I can live without it.

If they ever come after our Boulevard you can bet local residents will form a militia.

 Vote with your bottle opener.

Blue Moon isn’t even that good!
