Reply to comment by RVAVandal in Brewery self-distribution bill passes through GA, awaits Youngkin's signature by fanrva

That's hardly true. First of all SAB is no longer a corporate entity. AB-InBev sole 'craft' ownership in the state is Devils Backbone. MolsonCoors zilch. Sapporo bought Stone but i am unaware of any other corporate acquisitions of local breweries in the same fashion. Constellation bailed and sold BallastPoint in Roanoke back to craft ownership.. A far cry from 'more often than not'

ballast point is private again?

It was purchased by Kings & Convicts Brewing out of Chicago. Constellation maintains the Roanoke facility and produces its macro brands out of it.

Because 10 minutes prior you were decrying the practice.

I think they were referring more to what beers you are able to find on tap in bars and restaurants.
