Boy, have I been out of it.

Turns out two of the (U.S.) Northwest’s biggest and best-known craft brewers are going to merge. This will result in a craft brewing company on par with Sierra Nevada second only to Boston Beer Co. in size.

Granted, it’s nowhere near the kind of numbers that MillerCoors will be producing, but I don’t drink their beers. I have occasioned to drink both Red Hook and Widmer.

And I’m just hearing about it now.
