Beer Advocate on “Zombie” beer brands

The folks over at Beer Advocate just published another great piece about why sell-out breweries (which they call “zombie” beer brands) are bad for craft beer.  Read the article here.

I especially like this bit:

And since any brewery or brand can refer to or liken itself as “craft,” on the surface a “crafty” selection may give the appearance that we have options—at discounted prices, even—when we really don’t. It’s simply a calculated move by megacorps to disrupt from within by locking out indie brewers and limiting our options to their “crafty” beers.

Cheers. Craft on.
