Yea Burlee I realize I kinda dove in head first by calling someone out for being a complete idiot on my first ever post. I just couldn't hold it back, shite was dumb.

Got it. You can take it down if you want. Will email you shortly.

I've talked to the guys at Mockler BR's AB distributor) about picking up Yuengling and New Belgium, but the breweries aren't looking to move into new markets right now. The distributors would love to have their hand in those money jars.


I can get DFH or New Belgium (and others) from time to time on trips to Houston if anyone in BR really wants some.

Yuengling was all the rage here in Georgia when you couldn't get it here. I fell into the lemming like fan-dom as well.

As soon as we could buy it anytime we want, the rage went away.

Yuengling is a decent mass produced American lager. No more. No less.

Let me run down the list of reasons why you remain to look like a dip shite, but I'll be glad to correct you.
1. You post an article about a supplier (not a wholesaler) using their "enormous muscle" to push smaller companies out of business.
2. In the US everything involving beer is through a 3 tier system. Supplier, wholesaler then retailer. This alone is reason enough to wonder why you post a article about AB flexing their muscle when were talking about wholesalers picking up new brands of craft beer.
3. The article you post is from 1997. So much has changed since that irrelevant article that it blows my mind you were able to find such crap. Comparing what distributors are doing now to what a supplier was doing in 97 is ridiculous.

FWIW I'm sure you're just one of the miserable assholes who bitch and cry about the beers we don't have but when they are readily available resort back to your natty light. If thats the case and you just wanted to rant you need to get your facts straight.

Holy shite! I don't even care that much to get into a pissing contest. Sorry for you are the all-knowing beer god.

Far from it but thanks for the credit. You took the time to research for an article that was irrelevant to the discussion. So I felt the need to clear up the confusion. Done.

No one has the distributing rights to sell it so I guess it would technically be illegal to sale in LA. I've heard Yuengling's trying to purchase an old MillerCoors brewery (I believe) to up production. Maybe well see it soon..

I hope that when you die, wherever you end up you are forced to drink shitty, mass-produced, cheap watered-down beer for the rest of eternity.

Three tier system has producers, distributors, and retailers. By supplier I'm assuming producer and by wholesaler I'm assuming you mean distributor. Top three producers do have some sway with distributors. Why do their buildings, trucks, etc have Bud, Miller, Coors logos on them. Also, BMC often controls how the shelves at stores are stocked which affects sales.

Beer wars addresses the same issues. It was made in 2009


I'm kind of playing devils advocate here. I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm just saying that gabe311 isn't as wrong as you think he is.
