It's a man and a woman partnership. Their beers always have good balance.

In most states it is illegal for the seller to transport across state lines without a proper distributorship in place. This makes it very difficult for the small boutique breweries to expand their market. Some have done okay like Stone and Rouge but it slows down the growth rate. Slowly this silly old laws are changing - heck 5 years ago we couldn't even buy beer on Sunday here in MA.
