MillerCoors Sued For Selling Blue Moon As A Craft Beer
To some people, the term “craft beer” implies that the brew is made in limited quantities and implies some level of independence from industry giants like MillerCoors and AB InBev. To others, it may mean just any brand that runs fewer than 10 commercials during your average Sunday NFL game.

It's the restaurants ripping us off more so than Miller Brewing.
Evan Parent, sit down, shut up and quit your whining
Craft or not. It's delicious.
Widmer Brothers and Red Hook breweries are now part of one company called Craft Brewers Alliance. Anheuser-Busch, which previously held a substantial minority stake in both companies, continued to hold one in the new company.
Both excellent beer companies. Both with ties to a mega-corp brewery.
Its funny how these "little" companies get so successful. This smack of Microsoft buying or robbing their competition into non-existence.
Killian's Irish Red (a Coors product) used to be sold at import prices, even though it was produced in Colorado.
They are all running scared. They know that beer drinkers are boycotting the corporate beers in favor of the micro brews. Better quality and better ingredients and the money stays locally. Win win for everyone. Recently toured the dogfish head brewery over the weekend. I hope they and Evo will do well and all other micro brewery's in this area and throughout this country.
What the hell are you talking about?
