Brewmaster Greg Hall to step down.
I’m wondering how that ties into this, from 2006:

I’m assuming that deal for a 35% stake in Goose Island never happened. I’ve got to imagine that they’ve been on AB’s wish/target list ever since.
Actually, it did go through - A-B has had...

No comment.
Well, except to state the obvious, that politicians are mostly pandering idiots who say whatever they need to say at the moment to be on the “correct” side of the fence.
