[net.wines] Independent breweries a good buy?

rdz@ccice5.UUCP (Robert D. Zarcone) (03/14/85)

This area has been seeing a lot of "unknown" beer labels lately.
They all seem to share one thing in common though, they say
Stroh's or Heilman (sp?) on the side.  The independent brewery
has been dying for a long time.  My question is, do sound
independent brewers look like a good stock purchase?  Do sound
ones get bougt-out?  We have Genesee here and I know they are
one of the 15 largest nationally.  Does this type of brewer
look like a good take-over victim?  It seems some money could
be made buying independents now and waiting for a major to make
a tender offer.  Any comments?
