On the Horn with Dick, David and Andy on the A-B-Elysian Tie Up

Dear Client:We were able to get a few minutes on the phone with A-B Craft CEO Andy Goeler, along with Elysian partners Dick Cantwell and David Buhler. As we reported this morning, A-B has announced a purchase agreement to buy 20-year old Elysian Brewing Company of Seattle. Dick said all three partners [including Joe Bisacca] are staying on. Our first question: How has the news been received?"Actually, pretty good," said Dick. Elysian broke the news to their people this morning.
