| hads | Someone just tweeted that Lion bought Emersons; https://twitter.com/beerlytweeting/status/265571240062898176 | 21:52 |
| ibeardslee | hmmm :| | 21:58 |
| hads | Oh sad, it's true. | 22:07 |
| hads | http://paste.nothing.net.nz/15d48e | 22:09 |
| hads | The new macs. | 22:10 |
| ibeardslee | on the good side .. Lion haven't been arse about trademarks yet have they? | 22:11 |
| ojwb | suing apple? | 22:11 |
| ojwb | macs could too! | 22:11 |
| mwhudson | huh | 22:16 |
| hads | Oh well, plenty of other craft breweries around. | 22:17 |
| ibeardslee | do you think it'll change if it is a 'stand alone unit' | 22:18 |
| ibeardslee | is it the nice beer or the small underdog that you like? | 22:18 |
| ojwb | or the fear as to how long that will last | 22:21 |
| thumper | morning | 22:26 |
| hads | ibeardslee: Both | 22:39 |
| hads | And what ojwb said. | 22:39 |
| * ibeardslee nods | 22:39 | |
| hads | I'd rather drink nice beer and support a small local business rather than a multinational. | 22:40 |
| hads | Wigram and Three boys are just up the road anyway. | 22:40 |
| * ibeardslee nods vigorously to that | 22:41 | |
| chilts | as always, companies that buy other companies say "they'll stay being them" and the companies being bought say "we'll still be the same" and in 6 months or a year they'll no longer exist and the only remainder is the brands they bought since all the people will have left | 22:49 |
| * chilts looks at YouTube, Flickr and the miriad of other tech companies that got bought and either got merged or shutdown | 22:50 | |
| chilts | the only thing left is the brand they bought, which is the only thing of any value | 22:50 |
| ojwb | capitalism, eh? | 22:55 |
