Like I said, while others may see it as a bad thing my personal experience is that the craft guy getting bought out by the corporate brewers is able to expand his market.

Great example around here is Goose Island out of Chicago. Anheuser-Busch InBev bought them in 2010(?) and they now brew the standard stuff I never drink anyway, with a much larger distribution area. The best part is that now Goose Island can concentrate on their good stuff like their Bourbon County Brand Stouts which are now available in 8 or 9 markets in the country; including LA.

There are beer snobs that may not agree but that is what separates the geeks from the snobs, I guess.
