Beer-Related Super Bowl News


It's Super Bowl week, the week before our most over-hyped sports event. So far, the biggest story of the week is a bit strange: New York Giant lineman Grey Ruegamer disclosed that he had a summer job castrating lambs--with his teeth! His rationale:
"There was beer."

Click here for the full story.

Fortunately I am a beer locavore and there is no local beer--even the marvelous Curieux and despite my Scottish heritage--that could ever convince me to go anywhere near a lamb's privates.

I see you figured out the link thing.
I spent the last few years avoiding Redhook products because I thought they were a totally-owned subsidiary of A-B. This summer someone told me that wasn't true, and I accepted it, because I wanted to drink a Longhammer IPA occasionally. What's the truth about the Redhook/A-B relationship?

Ifigured out the link thing only with Sam's supervision--I couldn't duplicate it on my own the next day.

The short answer is that Redhook is a publically traded company (NASDAQ) and that A-B is a significant (33% or so) share-holder. A share of Redhook stock is currently cheaper than a 6-pack of Longhammer IPA. The Longhammer is a safer investment, in my opinion.
