Show Notes

This Week On Its All Beer! The Saga of Ballast Point takes a wild turn when an obscure Chicago brewery buys the beleaguered brewery for a fraction of its 2015 sale price. Our heroes wade into the history of Ballast Point and possibly the strangest brewery acquisition story ever told. Plus! Anderson Valley also has new owners. It was just one of those weeks. White Claw and Coke battle over the Surge, and we help craft the legal defense. And The Founding Fathers of craft beer have a place in the Smithsonian.
