Because individual, flagship beers often get ruined when this sort of thing happens. This occurs even when a brewery isn't bought out but simply expands too quickly. The example I cited to TNG is that case. Bell's Oberon is now made with orange juice concentrate and it's a sad reminder of what used to be one of Michigan's best brews. I'm glad to see more people drinking Lagunitas, but not at the expense of my bitter-ass cloudy IPAs eventually getting watered down for price efficiency and marketability. I would say SOME kinds of beer benefit greatly from industrial scale. I would not have classified most Lagunitas brews that way. Also, of record, I'm fairly certain you and I have VERY different taste in beer.Why does this make you upset?
