I don't get too caught up in the whole "selling out" thing. As long as it's still good quality, I'll drink it....I haven't noticed much a drop off from Lagunitas since they sold to Heineken. Lagunitas definitely isn't my first choice...I'm much more likely to go with a local brew. Goose Island quality is garbage(except for BCS) since they sold to AB.SVRDhand13 said:

You’re both absolutely right. Lagunitas hasn’t dropped off much- I just like to stick with the small guys.tempo_n_groove said:
