Blue Moon is owned by Moelson-Coors is it not? If it is how could it be considered any kind of small scale brewer. Also, I think Hoegartten is a division of Inbev.

There are lots of beer brands out there that were either swallowed up by the bigger companies or developed in order to give the product line a small company image. Linenkugel (I probably spelled that wrong) is owned by Moelson-Coors, but I believe they operate in a fairly independent fashion. Although, I've yet to find a beer they make that I like.

Back on subject . . . I watched this movie the other night on Netflix. It wasn't a bad movie, but I found myself skipping ahead at times as some of the things the movie was bringing to light was not exactly news to me although it might be to some.
