no idea what the berry might mean othe...Anonymous,<br /><br />no idea what the berry might mean other than a reference to the colour.<br /><br />From what I've read so far, many owners were only too happy to sell up and took very little persuading. I think later on in the consolidation process, when the sharks turned on each other, it wasn't quite so civilised.Ron Pattinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095189986589865751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-3132025257749265052015-10-04T11:26:54.580-07:002015-10-04T11:26:54.580-07:00I love seeing the layers peeled off the past. Coup...I love seeing the layers peeled off the past. Couple of questions if you don't mind.<br /><br />First, any insight what the Berry in that Berry Brown Ale signifies? Flavor, color, place name, or something else? <br /><br />Second, during this takeover and consolidation period, do you have any sense how honorable the process was? Was it generally the result of dull negotiation and discussion of finances, or was there a fair share of intrigue and subterfuge, with bribery, political machinations, mysterious fires and the like? I am guessing it is the former, but any hints of the darker process would be interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
