What’s your personal agenda to make more money by using the platform you call into question? That took longer than expected for a member of the RateBeer spirit squad to show up. I was banking on ClarkVV, but you post almost as often in these threads. As usual, you also have nothing of substance to add to the thread, and you will dodge relevant questions if I pose them to you. Nice job!

Not sure about IL, but if you’ve spent any time on the IN side of the Chicago metro area, you’ve probably seen them there.
Message Clownoisseur beers 531 º places 1 º 21:46 Wed 7/26/2017 They are definitely in the Chicagoland area, as well as Pennsylvania.

Message NobleSquirrel beers 3437 º places 209 º 08:53 Thu 7/27/2017 Originally posted by JK Originally posted by Gichigami Originally posted by JK Originally posted by Skyview Well, that is one more US brewery that can not use the Brewers Association’s Independent Craft Brewer (drain pour logo) seal on their packaging and point of purchase displays. Yeah, and do you know who else cannot use it? Schells. Merely because they produce too much. Brewers association guidelines: Annual production of 6 million barrels of beer or less (approximately 3 percent of U.S. annual sales). Beer production is attributed to the rules of alternating proprietorships. August Schell’s Brewing Company annual production as of a couple of years ago: ~150,000 barrels So unless they have increased their production by a factor of 40, they are okay (I believe with their expansion a few years ago their max capacity is now ~250,000 barrels a year). They are also listed by the Brewers Association as a craft brewery, so I think all of these rumors about them not being able to use the new seal should be verified before being repeated. Thanks for the correction. Actually, based on Skyview’s prior post, they aren’t allowed due to the date that the brewery was founded (1860) and their status as a regional brewery. Not that it matters, since the new logo is a bullshit gimmick that most of the local brewers here in Chicago are annoyed with. Pretty fucked up when Sierra Nevada & Anchor can’t use it, but Sam Adams can...
