Craft breweries in general are doing really well, absolutely killing InBev, and doing some damage on MillerCoors, but they have Leinie's which helps them continue to grow despite their portfolio outside of Leinie's staying pretty stagnant.
I know that their is a developing lobby called the "Brewers Association" that offers help to craft breweries that need help. I don't honestly know enough about the law or the distribution channels in Wi to give much advice beyond that.
And yes, Scott Walker is a huge bag of ****. I have a close friend, also an NMU alum, that works for We Are Wisconsin, and he seems very hopeful Walker won't be around that much longer.
And what a hockey game, holy ****! I stayed off Facebook for the entire night to avoid seeing the replay before it came on. Amazing game, the team looks very competitive. I am wondering what the night would have looked like without all those penalties though...
