A lot of craft brewers are lefties. They seem oblivious to the fact that beer falls under “discretionary spending,” and craft brews ain’t cheap.

1) The market is saturated
2) Most craft brews are overpriced

Didn’t know that about Bell’s. Their Two Hearted Ale and Escanaba Black Beer from sister brewery Upper Hand are excellent.

“Independent brewery production remained flat at 24.3 million barrels in 2022, according to an annual report released Tuesday from the Brewers Association, the industry’s trade group.”

Most of it is dog piss IPA. As bitter as formaldehyde...with hints of burnt rubber.

Those brewers sufficiently skilled to brew good lagers and a few “clean” ales are expanding.

The sooner we get the dog piss off the market, the better real brewers will do.

Have you noticed dog piss gets as much shelf space, if not more, than well done brews? Pay attention.

A lot of younger folks are just going for hard soda pop instead.

A lot of these craft brewers put out overly hoppy IPA’s and other unbalanced beers. What happened to crafting a well balanced, Belgian or German style lager has all of the flavor notes, not just hops?

Try crafting real beer instead of all that IPA crap.

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.

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