Agreed on Sam Adams. Jim Koch started the company and it's still in his hands. From what I've read, Goose Island decided to sell in order to expand. Case of growing too fast? You then have Dogfish Head, who's just pulled out of RI, in order to keep from overextending themselves.
Time will tell what happens with Goose Island. Hopefully, they don't mess up a good thing.
