May Meeting
« on: April 28, 2010, 10:14:12 AM »
May 11th
Timberwood Grill
6:30PM

More details to follow, but one interesting topic we will discuss is the recent sale of Anchor Brewing. Anchor's founder, Fritz Maytag is responsible for the resurgence of today's craft beer movement. Do you think this will have any impact on the industry, or do you think that it'll only affect Anchor? Bring your discussion to the meeting on May 11th.

It should be noted that the same group that purchased Anchor (The Griffin Group- Skyy vodka, etc.) also just purchased a minority stake in Brew Dog Brewery. http://www.brewdog.com/
