How many countries is Sierra Nevada exported to and what percentage of their production is shipped overseas (I am assuming legally here rather than grey market)?<br /><br />With Budvar, it is about 50% of production, shipped to about 50 countries, which may make it a more attractive proposition than Sierra Nevada. <br /><br />Budvar production is only about 30% greater than Sierra Nevada.<br /><br />I wonder if you could also argue that the Budvar brand is more valuable than the Sierra Nevada in an international context?Alistair Reecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929927359428659775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6521229482537361840.post-20186395319674764942011-03-31T08:13:00.185-04:002011-03-31T08:13:00.185-04:00Hope we don't lose too many more small brewers...Hope we don't lose too many more small brewers.

I just don't think that Sierra Nevada and Sam Adams will be bought out by the multinationals in the near future, not saying it won't happen at all.Alistair Reecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929927359428659775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6521229482537361840.post-64577696976566967122011-03-30T10:49:05.301-04:002011-03-30T10:49:05.301-04:00Rather than guessing what the transaction will loo...Rather than guessing what the transaction will look like five years from now I'm just hoping I live that long.<br /><br />But about Sierra Nevada . . . I think Budějovický Budvar produces more beer. And has been of interest to multinationals, right?Stan Hieronymushttp://www.appellationbeer.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
