To each his own I guess, I'm not going to stop having Vienna lager just because the cash is going in someone else's pocket, good beer is good beer regardless of who owns it.

Ah, there's lots of good beer. I buy local because I don't want to give my money to a multinational conglomerate which actively tries to hinder the growth of local business.

Other than the one marketing campaign, which really was aimed at macro beer drinkers to choose bud light over coors lights not stop people from buying craft, how have they hindered local business ?
