I wasn't going to write about this because I'm too busy and I don't have time. But I've read too many comments about it and I can't help myself. Just to be clear, I'm not an apologist for big, corporate brands, OK? And I'll fight with anyone who says I am. I think most people who love craft beer, good beer, real ale, interesting flavourfu ...
