There are a bunch of rumors going around that Brew Masters, the Discovery Channel television show featuring Dogfish Head's Sam Calagione, will be canceled. Some are saying that "BIG" breweries are threatening to pull out advertising. This is coming from Anthony Bourdain of Travel Channel's No Reservations through twitter messages. This was Sam Calagione's smooth response:
“A number of folks have been reaching out to me today about this twitter stuff. I’d rather focus on positive stuff than negative at this point. So this is what I will say: No comment. Other than I’m a big “No Reservations” fan. And now more than ever – support your small, truly-indie breweries! Last night I had Two Prima Pils, and an Aprihop. Today I had cask-conditioned Thyme Pale Ale, Baladin Nora, Birra Del Borgo ReAle, and am enjoying an Indian Brown Ale as I type this. Focused on the goodness inside the bottle instead of the weirdness outside the bottle. Cheers.”
So who knows if the show will continue or not with a response like that but it will be interesting if it is canceled because of the big breweries big money.
