1) The market is saturated

2) Most craft brews are overpriced

I partly disagree. The market is not saturated but most craft brews are very overpriced. New breweries starting up by charging $8 for a 12oz glass of 4-5% beer is expensive and going to see that brewery close unless it wises up.

When 9 out of 10 beers in the display case are IPAs, my eyes glaze over. I might just start drinking Coors.

I went to my local craft brewery. They make good beer. But all I wanted was a beer. They have something there they brewed that tastes like a coors.

that’s what i ordered.

So, what place is it with the authentic Bavarian beers?

My overwhelming criterion for beer is that it can be shipped unfridgerated by sailing ship to India...said no one ever PH*.

Try Yuengling, a good beer and reasonably priced. It's the oldest brewery in the U. S., owned by the same family, and endured a boycott in 2016 because one of its Yuengling family owners backed Trump for President.

Just bought their ultra light, Flight, not bad for a weekend work beer. I’ve had their regular brand quite often.

I’m trying to remember - my last trip out there was pre-Covid.
