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.
