Hey Mark, Regarding your most recent episode about the crises for Craft Distillers. To me this can be summed up in one word: Protectionism. Whether is protecting the huge distributors in this case, or corporations, or unions or whatever I have always been mostly against it. So many of our consumer systems in the US are antiquated and stuck in dogma because “that is how it has always been done.” As much as I may dislike Elon Musk, I love how when it came to Tesla he gave the middle-finger to the whole auto-dealership game and chose to sell direct to the customer. And that is what these Craft distilleries should be let to do as well. Just my opinion…. Ken Goldenberg Rancho Santa Margarita
