They are Miller/Coors! not sending two trucks, two salesmen, etc. to the same account saves millions of dollars a year in this economy and will save hundreds of thousands of dollars in fuel per year! They have it right for the enviroment!

Amoskeag started out as the little guy and has done well enough to become a big guy.

If you're going to comment, do your homework people. The miller/coors merger has been in effect for quite some time. It's not the distributors fault that the brewery wanted this, they have to follow the procedure and tow the line. in any merger the company will take the best and the brightest and those who are not performing to the best of their ability will be replaced, it's the nature of the beast. unfortunately this is the nature of business

I wonder how corporate Miller and corporate Coors feels about the same salesman going out and promoting a competitors beverage.
I would think that is a conflict of interest in some shape or form.

More BEERS for more YEARS

Unfortunately the nature of our society is that businesses need to get bigger to stay competitive with the already big businesses. Think about that every time you opt to go to a Walmart or even a restaurant chain instead of the stand-alone mom and pop restaurant or corner store.
Support the little guy.

Nice monopoly created.
Why didn't the UL report the lay offs?
- Peter, Manchester
The one thing that was not told to us is that about 60 people lost there jobs in this merger. What are they going to do now ?
