The 51st state rhetoric is one thing, but cannabis legalization is another. California sober and not drinking anywhere I used to post-pandemic, and bourbon used to be my primary. Now it’s the occasional, single beer at the soccer match or even rarer visit to an actual brewery. Think they need to pivot and scale down for the long term.
