About the only good I see in this is that there's a slight chance they'll see Firestone here.
Parabola would be good about now.

I actually am pretty good with this. Especially, as you say, if it expands distro.

I was going to post this but I see you beat me to it. I really hope nothing changes, as they posted on their FB page. With any change comes uncertainty and I'd hate to see things like Pale 31 and Easy Jack change one bit so I'm hoping this just increases distribution for them as many have commented.

Fingers crossed.

FWIW, Duvel has done nothing but good with Ommegang.

Agreed. That's what gives me hope here.

I guess that interview makes me feel a tad bit better but the only thing to make me feel great is to send some Parabola to Metairie, Loooosiana!
