Nick: Where did I say Goose Island was or wasn't "craft"? Anchor and German beers were sold for the same price as Goose Island. Distance didn't seem to matter. Struise has all their beer contract brewed, AFAIK. And yet there are more photos of one of them hoisting sacks into tanks and generally acting like he is "working" in a brewhouse than any real brewer you care to name. They refused to send beer to a Belgian festival a couple of years ago, unless they were called "de Struise Brewers" or something like that. They like to pretend they are brewers, when, in fact, they run a vacation park in Belgium (http://vakantiehoeve-denoordhoek.blogspot.nl/) Their beers here sell at at least twice what non-geek Belgian beers sell for. After trying a few of their early beers, I steer well clear of them. I posted this in support of your statement. And now you try to find fault with what I wrote? Logic?
