Though I'm not happy about them being bought out, if it's got to be done then this is the way to do it.

I live 10 miles from Blue Point Brewery and they took a huge hit this season using In-Bev for distribution. They exclusively use Clare Rose for distribution on LI, NY and NYC and there drivers were out on strike for nearly 4 months and sales took a huge hit. They had been out since March and just went back to work
