Seems a bit odd to me.<br /><br />In other news I had a superb 'bomber' of Stone IPA last week - so much Yank-hop flavour, but really balanced with alco, malt & bitterness - big, but in proportion, just yummy.MicMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08464263001561643944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30743480.post-27360444360277036012009-12-22T21:40:04.559+00:002009-12-22T21:40:04.559+00:00If you don't mind, I will copy and paste the c...If you don't mind, I will copy and paste the comment I posted on Pencil&Spoon on this very same subject:<br />"I don't know.... One of the things that micros have managed to do is to reclaim the sense of regionalism of the beer, as opposed to the macros that sell a brand, not a drink.<br /><br />If it's true that Stone is planning to up shop in Europe (and provided they do it under the same brand name) they would risk becoming a bit like, say, Guinness in the eyes of many.<br /><br />Of course, they could also set up a Stone Co. London or whatever and brew a completely different range of beers than what they brew in the US.<br /><br />IMO the best move would be to operate under another brand name, very much like wine makers do."<br /><br />Would love to know what you think of this.Pivní Filosofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883511608403454943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30743480.post-22030136693901623292009-12-22T20:06:09.962+00:002009-12-22T20:06:09.962+00:00I have wondered why there is not more of this and ...I have wondered why there is not more of this and have even participated professionally in a study of doing a similar thing between Canada and the USA. And even if they do not buy a brewery, could they not license their beers under close brewing control?Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670495301758701170noreply@blogger.com
