Soon in some cities there will be four on each corner, just like gas stations in the old days.

You make that sound like it's a bad thing.

Actually, I believe that advent of aggressive DUI arrest and prosecution, the lowering of legal BAC levels, and harsh penalties has led to the rise of craft breweries. Now, it's pretty clear when you go out, you can only have one or maybe two beers. So, Stalin's maxim "quantity has a quality of its own" no longer applies to beer drinking. If you can only have two beers, they better be good.

So yeah, I have become something of a beer snob now. I cannot drink Bud or Coors as I once did. They are awful. And because you can't get away with drinking five of them now, their marketing theory of "After three, who cares?" is no longer valid.

Having said that, yes, there is a lot of crappy craft beers out there. All the hoppy IPAs are a total beer fad and need to just go away. I like brown and amber beers. Great Lakes Brewing Company in Cleveland makes the best amber and Oktoberfest beers I have ever had. Yes, they are part of the "global warming" fad and strut around about how they are so ecologically friendly. Fine, I don't care as long as the beer is good.

No, not a bad thing, just an observation. I have been to the Great Lakes Brewery, and bought their beer in stores, and they do have some good brews.
