The Coast has sadly caved and pulled that article. I don't know if I'm more pissed at Labatt or more disappointed in The Coast, who prides itself on its independence and loudly complains when anyone in the business-world expressed their opinion because of their corporate bias.

I suspect that the threat of a major lawsuit probably trumped the indie "stick it to the man!" attitude this time around.

Meanwhile, I wonder how long it'll be before the A-B/InBev lawyers come after Bar Towel due to Cass reprinting the article earlier this this thread... :o
