The story behind the news that Magic Hat Brewing, South Burlington, VT. is buying Pyramid Breweries for $25 to $30 million is that us West Coasties may some day soon see Magic Hat beers out here. They would be brewed at Pyramid’s big brewery in Berkeley.

To find out a little bit about Magic Hat beers, I asked a number of people whoa are familiar with them. Check back here in a couple of hours. I’ll post what they said here.
