not sure i see the goose island comparo duvel is serious about beer. there is no comparision b/w this and the goose island sale to AB Inbev imo.
The comparo being Goose Island made a lot of stipulations on their beer before selling in order for it to continue to feel like a craft brewery and not a mass-production brewery like Anheuser Busch. Some of Goose Island's beers are not allowed to be distributed outside of Chicago city limits due to the stipulations listed in the contract.
And yes, Duvel is serious about beer.
