Two of the biggest breweries on the East Coast are now under the same umbrella.

This topic caught me off guard. I'm wearing a Dogfish T-shirt today.

However, I've had this shirt since the 1990s and it has nothing to do with the beer. Rather, it has to do with cycling. Now that I'm searching online, their website (http://www.dogfish1.com/team.html) looks like it's still in the 1990s, and half its internal links are dead.
Anyway, I thought it was really weird that such a cycling gear company would merge with Sam Adams! :hmmm:
Cincinnati is on the east coast?

Apparently the "Queen City of the West" is an East Coast city.

Sam Adams (Boston Beer Co.) is headquartered in Boston, and has a brewery there. However, their largest brewery is in Cincinnati, the founder's hometown, so they can be considered either an East Coast or Midwest Brewery.
It's only been in the last few years that they even admitted to the existence of the Cincinnati brewery. Their Cincinnati tap room just opened within the past year.
I'm OK with this, if it meant keeping another independent from being bought out by fucking Budweiser. (Devil's Backbone, you're dead to me. Still.)

I think it just makes it a more inviting target for someone like Bud to gobble up in like 5-10 years.
