I am surprised too.. Pyramid has bought so many other breweries over the years, that I thought they would be the powerhouse. I had no idea that Magic Hat was big enough for a purchase of this size. good for them!

Yeah, but Circus Boy actually has some authentic hefe characteristics. I like my wheat ale better than Pyramid.....  _________________ .
