Coors/Molson Beer Company has just purchased Blue Run Spirits. That is the company that produces Buffalo Trace, Blanton's and Pappy Van Winkle amongst others.

That is a huge investment. Coors/Molson and other legacy beer companies (MACRO BREWRIES) see the problem with the slow down of your traditional Macro beers, like Coors, Bud and Miller as more and more people are moving towards, Wine, spirits and more importantly Craft or Micro Breweries. The only way those companies like the beforementioned beer companies can survive is to diversify. That means either take over Micro Breweries or move to Spirits. That is what Coors/Molson just did.

I am not sure where you read that, but Buffalo Trace and the others are owned by Sazarac. I did see where they bought Blue Run, but to my knowledge that is not who owns the others. Can you please share a story? Thanks!

I told myself to stop drinking but I am not about to listen to a drunk that talks to himself.

Does Ragin Dave drink bud lights?

He likes them long haired hippie beers. I like them every now and then too but I don't enjoy them afterwards. Guess that makes me try-curious. Haha
