Honestly. LCB makes enough money out of shipments and everything (i know someone who worked there for years) they could afford to use local labor. Removing the trees without the express authorization of the property owner is a crock of poo poo. I would bet you a dollar, they sold those cypress trees and the property owners received nothing for it. Cypress is a hard to come by mold/pest/rot resistant tree that is in high demand. This beer is being boycotted from here to Kansas as far as I know, and hopefully will be brought to more peoples attention on how they are using deceptive practices to make more money. If you really want to make money, jsut go sell out to Budweiser, then people would not be so shocked to see who was supporting the cutting of our ancient redwoods.
