here is what i read about the beer companies:
according to The Boston Globe, after some twitter posts by Anthony Bourdain went viral, it has been confirmed that The Discovery Channel has taken the show "Brew Masters" off the air because Big Beer threatened to pull all of their advertising if the show was not canceled.
"Brew Masters," which aired last fall, is a series about Dogfish Head, the craft brewer based in Delaware. The show was scheduled for a six-episode run, after which Discovery and Sam Calagione, the Dofgish Head founder and host of the show, would decide whether to make more episodes. There has been no indication that more episodes are in the works.
This announcement comes a day after Anheuser-Busch announced it's buying one of the country's most revered craft brewers, Chicago-based Goose Island, makers of such beers as Honker's Ale and Bourbon County Brand Stout.
