With Heineken’s skunk spray still lingering in the air, Saint Archer Brewery in San Diego sold a majority stake to MillerCoors. Probably the worst kept secret ever, Saint Archer built itself from the ground up to be acquired. Brewed by talented brewers, their brand of high quality craft beer will now join the ranks of Blue Moon and Crispin Cider. Saint Archer’s generic can designs have always signaled a sort of “commodity beer” type of ethos; Blonde, IPA, White, etc will no doubt be strong brands outside of Southern California. I’m not sure San Diego ever forgave them for a social media snafu thanking the Dodgers for their long-time support. Many locals were over this deal as it happened. As they’re no longer a craft brewer, I am thankful for the sea of legit craft beer in San Diego. If their current brewers leave, the quality will indeed change for the worse.
