Shock Top Pumpkin Wheat Ale - Addendum

Those bastards!

If you didn't think the craft beer movement was in jeopardy, look no further than Shock Top Brewing Company.  This is what I got for posting too damn quickly.  Getting content out there is no good if you don't do research.

My apologies to my fellow craft beer brethren out there.  I led you astray by not divulging fully the following:

Shock Top Brewing is wholly owned by Anheuser-Busch.

It doesn't alter the taste of the beer by any stretch of the imagination, but no wonder the value is there.  $6 for a six pack is because of the big machine behind it.  I support smaller, local brewers.  Had I not been duped by the packaging I never would have paid for this beer.
