    I too grappled with this question and the issue that remains is this for me. If the quality of the beer remains the same and the acquisition by AB-InBev and the change in staff doesn’t mean a lower quality beer, which in statements they claim there will be no changes then I will still drink it. However, if given a choice between supporting them or a little guy I will lean towards the little guy who kept with their passion and didn’t sell out so to speak.

    The main appeal of craft beer to me is the taste, but a close second is the enjoyment I get out of supporting small businesses that are run by people who care about making a phenomenal product with integrity. There are so many great craft beers that still have their soul for me to drink a beer that’s served in the Death Star Cafeteria. Goose Island = Blue Moon.

    SHOPLIFTERS OF THE WORLD UNITE AND TAKE OVER. I say, drink it, but for Odin’s sake, don’t give them any of your money! If there’s a good alternative around. Utter hypocrite alert: Don’t post pics of me drinking Blue Moon at South Street Seaport! It was midnight! I needed a beer! You can drink outside there!

    I ask you to consider: ‘Have the rebels, in fact, taken the Death Star?’ Long live the revolution!

    I have to admit that knowing that information would take some of the enjoyment away for me. I wouldn’t necessarily boycott it, but I would definitely be looking elsewhere on the shelf for my libations. What can I say, I love an underdog!

    Tony, I hope that’s the case and you all don’t end up fighting to stay afloat in the Death Star trash compactor.
