"Drinking a locally brewed craft beer is the best way to stick it to The Man and support your community."

AB-InBev cannot fit into this equation, can it?

Beer writer Jeff Baker ... (is) a fan of both punk rock and craft beer and says there are similarities between the two communities.

No, it cannot, so stop making feeble arguments to the contrary and read this.

Drinking local is rebellion, by Jeff Baker (BTV Foodie)

... Both communities at their cores are centered around a sense of rebellion. Rebellion against big business, against blandness, against cheap commodities in favor of something with heart and soul, with substance.

There was probably a day in the history of punk when drinking a craft beer would have been considered too bourgeois. But here in Vermont, where "local" is rebellion against Big Agriculture, drinking a locally brewed craft beer is the best way to stick it to The Man and support your community.
