Lagunitas has some historical significance in the American craft brewing scene. Particularly with the launch and rise of "IPA" to national significance. It might not be a stretch to attribute "IPA" with significantly impacting the tide that lifted all craft beers. So yes, seeing them sell to a huge overseas beverage company felt a bit like losing part of our craft brewing heritage to a foreign company. I'm also probably not alone in enjoying the feeling of at least pretending I'm supporting independently owned and operated craft breweries with my purchases :) It's getting harder these days with all the consolidation occuring.
