I know I would like to try their beer. To bad I gotta come to Riot Town to get it.
i don't drink bud light. my point was it seems everyone and their brother now has a microbrewery and like someone said, there are a lot of crappy brews out there. i'm not much of a beer guy (more into whiskies) but while I appreciate a good craft brew it appears to me the scale may be tipping soon back to the bad places closing and the good ones consolidating.
....depends on how you define that...
Am I over turning my nose up at a well brewed light lager? Yes (Sorry Chris, Busch Light still don't qualify here)
Am I over regularly sampling something different when I see it? No
Am I over paying close to $10 a six pack when I know the material inputs and brewing process don't warrant that price (simple, normal beers): Yes
Am I over good beer: No
The bad ones will close. The good ones will be just fine. A lot of them make my money by being fun places to go and drink, even if the beer is less than great (so long as its good).
perfect rationale. The local microbrewery here has $6 pints. The manufacturing process at that level won't allow for cost-saving production methods but at that price I'd rather have a glass of 12 year old bourbon.
Hey, kinda ties into my other post...yeah...I agree. I was recently in Arizona and went to a brewpub. When I can taste and identify the off flavors because they are so bad...that's not good.
That's not a competitive price. My local brewery, which is without question the most heralded brewery in Iowa (Toppling Goliath) sells pints for $4.25.
One of the guys behind it posts here & also runs Arrowhead Hops. Username is clonebydesign. Good dude. I've bought hop rhizomes from him.
How do we compare micros? I mean, is there like tier level? I think you have to have some kind of metric to grade these beers, but for my money most crafts I've sampled have been good to great. Keep going to these places. When you go to a bad one, don't go back. The problem will resolve itself.
No. They do differentiate prices for limited releases or higher ABV beers.
I'm belly up at the tap room right now and Twisted Galaxy and King Sue (both DIPAs) are $5, and north of 8% ABV.
Toppling Goliath is your local brewery?? Color me jealous.
On top of that, my wife works there and there is a near constant stock of PsuedoSue in my basement.
Yes, I'm just rubbing it in now.
My new local brew pub in CR has a wheat and an IPA that I think are better than a lot I've had. And they're only 4 bucks. And I would drink those over a pint of various domestics any day.
If the beer is good, theyll do fine. Olde Main sucks. Dont know how they sell the volume they do.
