Positive Attitude Squashed

I tried to stay positive, I did.   No sooner did I finish my last post on my enthusiasm for Mikkeller opening its Little Italy tasting room than I read the latest news on Oceanside Ale Works.  Green Flash does not have a monopoly on bad business decisions.  West Coaster provides an update on the Oceanside Ale Works' clown show, the newest version of which lasted about three weeks.  It is never a smart business move to buy into someone else's legal problems, even if the price seems right.  I would not be surprised if Oceanside Ale Works' co-founder Mark Purciel's legal issues get more complicated in the near future.
