Goose Island IPA is not bad, and I prefer Fat Tire to anything else currently offered onboard in the beer category.

Sam Adams isn't "craft beer" according to any serious beer drinker and hasn't been for at least a couple decades. Although Goose Island is owned by AB now they still do produce some beers independently in Chicago (not the IPA though). New Belgium is by far closest to a true craft brewery. It's 100% employee owned. However, it's currently the 8th-largest brewery in the USA according to Wikipedia. I can't really blame AA though, as having to cater these drinks from hundreds of locations means they need to source from companies that have a national presence!
