Hey all, I am working on a post about the Breckenridge-AB buyout and the collateral damage if there is any, and views of their consumers. I would love some input from our consumers. I am aware of how the craft scene views AB and their buyouts. I'm searching for more info about how you view and think of Breckenridge Brewery now after spending 25 years buying, supporting and helping them build their business into what it was before. How does it affect you as a consumer? What did their loyal consumers get out of the deal? How do you feel about it? (Craft, not craft, big beer, still loyal, hurt, jaded, happy, indifferent?) Shoot me an email or a reply with your thoughts.

  1. I was at their Farmhouse Restaurant last weekend and one big change is that they no longer are "allowed" to sell wine or spirits. Apparently, AB stated that rule and I find it to be terrible. My wife is GF and doesn't like beer so being able to go there and have wine and beer options was fantastic. I also think the guest taps are gone as well. I remember last summer they had Odell's on tap. The food seems to be the same, but I am pretty bummed about the alcohol changes. It also made their mimosa and bloody mary bar dissapear from the weekend brunch.

  2. I haven't been a big consumer of Breckenridge beers for a while now, though when I started drinking craft beer Breck's Avalanche and Odell's 90 Shilling were my two staples. My thoughs on having the large local craft breweries absorbed into "The High End" and other multi-national conglomerates is that it will help (at least locally) the small and mid sized craft breweries expand. While Breckenridge's beers will make their way into liquor stores across the country, local stuff in beer-centric markets will absorb some of their sales. On a more local note, it was a little disappointing to see tax increment financing end up going to AB-Inbev for their Farmhouse Restaurant.
