I’ve met Dick twice - both times he was chain smoking and talking a mile a minute. Very intense, steely guy. He won’t “give” the brewery to his daughters, they will have to “buy” it, like he did from his Father.
They are a great family - well grounded - yet enjoying their wealth. All of Freeperland should support them and their non-union produced products.
As for Texas, I asked him about that last year and he said “we’re looking into it.” They almost had a deal w/ a brewery in TN that would have given them access to TX, but it fell through. He doesn’t just jump into things. It has to be the right deal at the right time.
I think they’ll buy another brewery this year (just my opinion), and sales will skyrocket yet again.
The owner sounds like an interesting man. I like their beer. I also like two other beers; “Dogfish Head” and “ Spencer Trappist Ale”.
