> Ballast Point

Bell’s is older and bigger and still a family operations.

In October 2015 Ballast Point Brewing & Spirits Inc. filed an initial public offering of stock. This offering would make it the first of San Diego County's breweries to go public.[8] However, on November 15, 2015, Constellation Brands announced it would acquire Ballast Point Brewing & Spirits for $1 billion.[9]

In December 2019, it was announced that Chicago-based brewery Kings and Convicts was buying Ballast Point from Constellation for undisclosed terms,[14] which industry observers estimate to be between $75 million and $200 million.[15] Constellation was reportedly having trouble integrating the brand with their larger operations.[14] At its peak under Constellation, Ballast Point's sales were at 431,000 barrels. At the time of the announcement, early estimates for 2019 were north of 200,000. Meanwhile, Balllast Point's trademark value had dropped over 90 percent from $223 million in January 2018 to $17 million in October 2019.[15]

>What is the appeal of this?

You got me? I'm not a beer snob but even back in high school (class of 1986 here) when my buddies and I started drinking, they’d guzzle Bud Light and Miller Light while I was drinking Michelob Dark and they were giving me shit about it, saying I was being snooty and pretentious.

American corporate lagers taste like rotten water, what’s the point of even drinking that shit?

>What the fuck is the appeal of beer?

Good beer is tasty and will get you drunk.

I dunno why people drink pisswater like Budweiser and Miller?

>The county is considered dry otherwise and you can be ticketed for possession of beer, wine or spirits anywhere else in the county.

Are you saying you can be ticketed for having booze in your own home, because that sounds pretty unlikely to me.

>What are actually some good beer brands I can drink in the US?

Looks like you picked a winner right out of the gate.
