I thought the ad was good, it was only that line that struck a discordant note. They make some good beers, some I'm not crazy about, but Doppel Pils, Tankhouse (still), their cask beers at the bar at Distillery District, the barley wines, are very good IMO, plus there was a fairly assertive APA recently (can't recall the name) that was terrific on draft. They are growing and growth is good, but in my opinion again, the way forward is not to knock a beer style that is well-regarded amongst craft beer fans and in any case is an outgrowth of a style that any APA represents. Isn't Tankhouse an APA?
