I'm completely with you with this, it's so stupid. If a brewery gets taken over and starts making the beer shit then that's a reason to kick off but making good beer as widely available as possible is surely only a good thing?
I don't see the trappists getting the same stick for making their beer available in pretty much every supermarket in France and Belgium.
Really don't get the idea that breweries 'sell out' when they go on supermarket shelves.
It's a business, you start it to make money, bigger market placement means more cash.
How would you ever get bank loans/private backer cash if you said 'I'd like the business to get to X size and stay there'.
