I don't think their position is well-founded, but I know they're out there, and I know they take that position.<br /><br />I also wonder how much of this is ... hmmm ...

This idea of making quality alcohol is big business now a day. I feel like people are tired of the normal mundane drinks that large brewers mass produce.
