Ivan Reitman, a storied producer and director behind some of Hollywood's biggest comedies, has died, according to the CEO of Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group. He was 75.  Reitman was behind some of the 80s and 90s most enduring comedic films, including 1984's "Ghostbusters," which he produced and directed.  (continued)

I was last at Hair of the Dog on Spring 2018. I think they were having some kind of event, and the owner himself was pouring. I recognize him in the picture.

Wouldh't there be any value in selling?

I also went to Modern Times PDX on the same trip.

Two big quick losses for PDX.

you'd think there would be.  if he isn't, it must come down to either he doesn't want to (doesn't trust others with his brand/baby?), or he can't (ex: he looked in to selling but no one was interested).  i guess they'll shut the place down and sell its equipment and parts.

Member my post about the brewery bubble bursting… anyone with any business acumen has no interest in buying an archaic brewery that makes up probably little to no market share, no matter how important they once were to the industry.
