going back to sam adams, the british have learned quite a few things about craft beer from my friendsamerica. the u.k. craft sector is picking up pace as well. brew dog, a scottish craft brewer, is doing a crowd fundraising. we think this might set off a land grab. the problem is, we don't know how much sab miller paid. guy: is a craft beer if it is taken over by sab miller? matt: that is the question. sab miller would be stupid to tart -- to start tweaking the formula. guy: never stopped management teams in the past. matt: that is true. they say, let's tweak this. obviously, they are going to plug into sab miller's distribution. it is already exporting to 40 markets. some of that might be very small, because it is tough exporting and dealing with taxes , but this will certainly increase that. also, this gets sab miller into the pub business. meantime has about 25-26 pubs. francine: where they make it? matt: not where they make it but where they distribute or sell it. interesting thing that sab is doing is, they are taking unpasteurized beer from pilsner or cal -- pilsner urquell and
