Klobuchar, lawmakers: Deal to create megabrewer could cause hangover for craft brewers

WASHINGTON — Castle Danger Brewery in Two Harbors, Minnesota, has been brewing what it calls "dangerously good ales" on the north shore of Lake Superior since 2011. The company outgrew its original home in tiny Castle Danger and now distributes beer to bars and restaurants throughout northern and central Minnesota.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., hails the brewery as an example of the growing craft-beer industry in her state and says she fears that a deal to merge the world's biggest beer companies into a megabrewer could make it harder for Castle Danger and other small brewers to sell their brands.
