St. Stan's Brewery is a micro-brewery in Modesto, California. The company was established in 1984. It is regarded as a high quality beer. The brewery produces traditional German beer styles. St. Stan's was the first brewery in the United States to brew an Altbier style beer. The brewery was a leader in the microbrewery movement in the 1980s. It was lead plaintiff in a 1997 class-action suit against Anheuser-Busch, which it accused of engaging in anti-competitive practices by coercing or bullying distributors to get them to stop distributing product for smaller breweries. A Justice Department investigation was ended but the class-action lawsuit was unaffected. In 2008, Susan Little-Nell, the owner of St. Stan's, was one of a number of craft breweries lobbying against an Anheuser-Busch attempt to get California state law changed to allow it to give out free souvenirs up to $5 value rather than just $.25. She described tough situation of small brewers in face of "free-for-all promotional spending of international corporations."〔 〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. Stan's Brewery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
