The real economic engine for the community (and the US for that matter) is the money made by direct employees and the value stream related to suppliers, shippers, contractors, etc... The best part about it being a foreign investor is that it's "new" money into the US economy, not "recycled' as would be the case with a US purchaser.

We do know he talked to Tenth & Blake (MillerCoors' craft beer division). Personally, I'd much rather have them owned by Duvel than MillerCoors. There might truly have been no better option that would secure the future of the brewery here in KC, still making beer the way McDonald wants to.

I applaud him. What I have a problem with is overlooking many, many American investors/buyers who would have loved to have bought the brewery. Thus keeping all future profits in the United States of America not the United States of Europe.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920274763775025053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876655574830046036.post-39631664774555724632013-10-23T10:45:27.589-05:002013-10-23T10:45:27.589-05:00Thanks for articulating some solid reasons to appl...Thanks for articulating some solid reasons to applaud this move. I'm not much of a beer drinker, but I love Boulevard's original owner for bringing Ripple to this town at a large $cost, recycling glass for fiberglass insulation and countertops.winetast3rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04610452111342300940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876655574830046036.post-57961758088526532252013-10-22T17:26:52.452-05:002013-10-22T17:26:52.452-05:00Well spoken, Kevin.
