Totally lost. Awesome?, can't grasp what you are really reffering to. Mendocino Brewing Company hasn't progressed. The company still is contracting sales,and revenues, has a defacit, and has approximately $14 M. debt. Other than some entity pumping this company for a quick profit, I can't see a long term future for the the company. Craft Brew Alliance, on the other hand, has a future. The majority investor, AmBev, is carrying Red Hook products, and the company is profitable. BREW was just a dollar stock too. The biggest difference, though, is there exist no real MENB influential investors to significantly influence the company or it's marketability.
