Me too, funny how you know people by their pictures sometimes, especially in the vinyl playlist.

Indeed.
I was late to find out Elyssian was bought out years ago. I used to love Space Dust IPA, but for years it just tasted 'off'.
Same for Ballast Point's Sculpin.
And there have been quite a few local brewers that have come and gone. Some were quite good at brewing really good beers, but not at staying competitive in a tough/changing market.
One of the silver linings of the sale of Elysian to ABInbev was Steve Luke, a former Elysian Brewer (I think Space Dust was his creation) going on to found Cloudburst - some of the best IPAs in Seattle.
He made his feelings toward ABInbev well known during a medal award on the stage with Charlie P. at the 2018 GABF.

As long as they don’t mess with 805 I’m cool.WTF?

Going forward, all of Stone's beers will be brewed out of Paso Robles.
No mention if the formulations remain the same. Not a good sign. Could prove bad for Firestone.
