Probably my favorite brewery. I did not know that Boulevard was bought by Duvel as well. I still like their beer so it doesn't sound like too much will change with FW...
Same. I buy a lot of Boulevard's beers and I have not noticed any change since they were purchased. I'm sure Firestone is in good hands. With breweries in the west, middle, and east; distribution will become much simpler.

I had no idea Firestone has a brewery in the east.  Is this new?  Where is it (will it be) located?

Ommegang is located in Cooperstown, NY.  Are you saying that Ommegang is now brewing FW beers since they are also controlled by Duvel?

I thought they were in mass, my bad.

I don't know if that is what they will do, but I imagine it is a possibility. Shipping liquid is expensive.

But where did you see that FW is brewing in the East now?  Just curious as I would love to get some fresh FW here.

I never said they were. I was pointing out that in joining Duvel, Duvel now has, or has access to, three well placed breweries for distribution or brewing. Firestone just got to Texas a couple of years ago, I'm sure they will be further east at some point.
