[09:21] evening [18:36] morning [18:59] morning [19:36] morning [21:52] Someone just tweeted that Lion bought Emersons; https://twitter.com/beerlytweeting/status/265571240062898176 [21:58] hmmm :| [22:07] Oh sad, it's true. [22:09] http://paste.nothing.net.nz/15d48e [22:10] The new macs. [22:11] on the good side .. Lion haven't been arse about trademarks yet have they? [22:11] suing apple? [22:11] macs could too! [22:16] huh [22:17] Oh well, plenty of other craft breweries around. [22:18] do you think it'll change if it is a 'stand alone unit' [22:18] is it the nice beer or the small underdog that you like? [22:21] or the fear as to how long that will last [22:26] morning [22:39] ibeardslee: Both [22:39] And what ojwb said. [22:39] * ibeardslee nods [22:40] I'd rather drink nice beer and support a small local business rather than a multinational. [22:40] Wigram and Three boys are just up the road anyway. [22:41] * ibeardslee nods vigorously to that [22:49] 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 [22:50] * chilts looks at YouTube, Flickr and the miriad of other tech companies that got bought and either got merged or shutdown [22:50] the only thing left is the brand they bought, which is the only thing of any value [22:55] capitalism, eh?
