Todd, here and on the site...are you being deliberately obscure? Is Concord
closing for good and all, is it just ceasing operations at this facility, or
do they (and therefore you) not really know at this point? No accusations or
any of that jive, just want to know what's up. Thanks!

The post, in subject and body, clearly states that the * facility * is
closing. Not sure how this is obscure?

Here's the post:

--

The Concorde Brewery facility in Shirley, MA will be closing very soon.
Details of the closure cannot be made public at this time due to a dispute
with their landlord that is currently in litigation.

Labbe stated, "This does not necessarily mean the end of the Concord or
Rapscallion brands. We are exploring other production avenues now, including
the possibility of moving the production and distribution to another
brewery. The response that we continue to get for our beers is amazing, and
I believe that there is still the potential for much growth."

No need to get defensive, Todd. Remember, please, that I've never been one
to dump on you or your site here. I read both posts, this one and the one
about the "last tour" of the Shirley facility. But the words "not
necessarily" leads to some doubt. All I was asking was whether you knew
anything more than what was in the post. Weyerbacher, for instance, lost
their lease on their facility, but there was never any doubt that they would
move production to a different site. There appears to be some doubt here. I
just wondered if you had a better feel for the chances of that.

Okay?

No need to get defensive, Todd.

Thanks for the reminder. I don't believe that I was being defensive ... I
was simply answering your question.

The post also says:

http://beeradvocate.com/forum/read.php?thread=160819
"Labbe also mentioned that they are not about to disappear. They have plenty
of beer in their cellar, which they are currently bottling and kegging, and
they expect no interruption in production. It's just a matter of
transitioning to a new brewery."

Consider it an artifact of the medium. Character-based systems aren't always
the best for this kind of thing. Thanks for the clarification.
