It appears that the sale won't impact the day-to-day operations of the brewery.

As BMC continues to lose market share to the craft movement I believe this trend will expand.

I'm sure the owner's got a fat check from Inbev, but how could you do this? If this is a brewery you started yourself from the ground up. And crafted those recipes and brewed that beer to become the 8th largest brewery in Seattle, a beer city; what happens in 10 years when the craft beer scene starts to level off a bit? Hell what happens in 2 years when InBev decides they need to run leaner and they decide to cheapen the ingredients, and start making a shite load of lagers? I'd be pretty disappointed if that's how it turned out. But, with a fat check in my pocket, i guess i wouldn't be that broken up.

I would assume. Although Goose Island was bigger, production wise, at the time of buy out it wouldn't surprise me.
I have never had any of their beers but they did well at GABF.

Some breweries don't start up from a passion of brewing. Some are started as businesses. No idea if this is one of those, but there are several out there. shite, look at your hometown Tin Roof guys. Those two guys didn't know squat about brewing before starting. It was always just a business.

Everyone and everything has a price.
If I'm a reasonably successful craft beer outfit in the current environment and InBev or whomever shows up I'm fricking selling. Here's why...
It's a fricking bubble!
Scene is growing - Check
Irrational Pricing - Check
Every Tom, Dick and Harry jumping in - Check
Unsustainable Business Model - Check
Craft beer is huge and it seems every homebrewer now fancies himself a commercial brewer. Greater Tampa Bay now has over 25 craft breweries. A local metal tank fabricator told me over the weekend that he's operating at full capacity and cannot fill any new orders until 2016. With each new addition to the craft beer scene there are more hands reaching into a pot with only a finite amount of cash. Crowding out happens, you are already starting to hear of breweries closing shop.
If brokered correctly the InBev deal is perfect. You get the cash market value of your company while in its prime and are left to continue to run it. Based on whats happened to Goose Island I don't see the situation where suddenly they are forced to change their menu. When or if the bottom drops out the place just gets closed down but you are smelling like roses because you got out at the peak instead of the bottom.

This x 10
A tech start up sells their company to google or facebook and they are applauded for being a shinning example of the American dream.
A brewery does the same thing and it's fan immediately react negatively, say how awful the owners and the brewery are, and assume that InBev will ruin the product.

Pretty sure when I tried it at the Beer Fest was over 2 years ago?

not sure if the most fair metric, but it appears that beer has a long way to go to catch up with wine

seems like wine would be more profitable though with the margins being higher
people still see beer as a cheap drink
