No problem. Let me know if you need any further explanations.

For anyone to get what they want there must be enough people wanting an item and for it to be profitable for someone to provide it. Maybe your preferences are not a popular as you think or maybe you are not offering enough money for what you want. Probably the best thing you can do is work to...

1. Shareholders want returns. Either in stock price appreciation or dividends. 3. BUD, ATT and PG 4. Lower growth companies usually pay dividends for a couple of reasons…they don’t need to invest as much in the company, they have a stable earnings growth, to show their financial strength...

The first lesson in economics is that there are scarce resources and that those resources have alternate uses. The most reasonable explanation for your dissatisfaction is not because of ABInbev, but that your preferences no longer line up with the preferences of the market in general.

1. High growth companies generally don’t issue dividends. 2. High growth does not necessarily translate to higher profits. 3. Low growth does not necessarily translate into lower profits. 4. Low growth companies generally pay higher dividends. 5. Slow growth does not necessarily...

Pricing doesn't really work like this...

I would think yes. http://brulosophy.com/2016/12/15/yeast-comparison-saflager-w-3470-vs-saflager-s-189-exbeeriment-results/

Thanks. I was looking for the new regulations that were introduced. Somehow missed the above. Passing/revising/repealing a law that promotes free competition and free market forces is deregulation. We are talking past each other. I shouldn't drink and read.

Tell me about it....

I'd love to read up on the new regs. Please provide a list.

Yet strangely the states with most liberal free market oriented "brewing" laws have the most breweries.

Again. You just said that deregulation led to the expansion of breweries. Legalizing homebrewing lowered barriers of getting into the business by allowing people to self educate on how to brew and it also allowed for experimentation. In addition to that states changed laws to allow...

You realize you just agreed that deregulation led to the increase in breweries?

It was the ever increasing beer and brewing regulations that have given rise to the 4,600 breweries in the US? No. It's the opposite. Regulations and barriers to entry have decreased.

Excellent point. The beer industry was closer to “monopoly” 30 years ago….but even then there were ~80 breweries in the US. The beer industry is already mature. It’s one of the oldest industries in the country. If we lived in a “monopolistic capitalistic” society I would think the beer...

More regulation favors big business. Raises startup and compliance costs for small business and decreases competition.

Weirdly…despite the “Monopolistic Capitalist” economy…we’ve never had more breweries or better beer.

According to the county tax auditor Vertical Hold owned the property outright. So they weren't kicked out. Just saying.

Looks like from their facebook post it was the right decision for them to take the offer. Either they were offered enough that they think they can setup a better shop somewhere else or the offer was worth more than what the current business can generate. Good for them either way.

Was surprised at how business minded one of our local breweries was in regards to it's startup. I thought it was a homebrewer who started the business. Instead it was local business men and women who liked beer and created a start up....conceived from the ground up with expansion as one of...
