Lagunitas is California beer. Now it's California beer half-owned by Heineken. Why does this make you upset? It's not like they were ever small, were ever particularly crafty or particularly independent and Heineken has been the gold standard of not-piss beer on hospitality riders for 40 years. Beer is a product that benefits greatly from industrial scale. People rag on big American beers because they taste like piss but that's design, not consequence. If Budweiser wanted to make bitter-ass cloudy IPA they could. They don't because your grandpa likes Banquet Beer. They bought (and sell) Red Hook and Stella because they know you don't.
