This sucks. Sleeman brewries, the third largest in Canada, is looking for a buyer. I don't drink Sleeman's regularly (and hence, I am the problem), but this is one more independent brewry down the tubes. You just know Molsen or Sapporo will buy them out and pirate the company for their lucrative distributorships; (Guinness, Sam Adams, and (surprise) Sapporo).
Just goes to show, buy local, buy often. It's hard out there for the small guy. I raise a glass of Red's Rye to the independant brewer. (Note to Founder's.. call me. We need to fix your website.)

Sleeman makes some pretty good beer. It isn't the greatest I've had but given that or something from the Coors family, I would choose Sleeman. It is sad to see that a smaller brewery is on the auction block, again. It drives the littler guys prices up as they attempt to compete in a marketing heavy, p*sswater heavy, market.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever get to WNY try Flying Bison Brewing. This guy was a 20+ year homebrewer that got some initiative and started a great beer brewery.
