That being said, as a drinker (non-brewer) of craft brews, I don't feel too threatened by the Coors-Miller merger/venture. AB is still the big guy by far, even compared to Coors and Miller together, so I view it as a move by Coors & Miller to more effectively bonk AB over the head than before. Perhaps this is too optimistic, but maybe it could help craft brewers? That is, AB is likely more threatened now by CoorsMiller and CoorsMiller is focused on taking down AB. So craft brewers should be off the radar. At least that's my hope. I admit I know little about distributor networks.
