Craft Beer

2019-06-25 23:29:23.05745+00 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

With premium beer essentially coming down to "haven't tried that name before", I think the question is whether or not beer producers can either sell the notion of hops terroir, or other aspects of specific hops (the way cannabis producers are), or whether they just ride the "new name" wave as long as it goes.

I know Petaluma's seen a shakeout in beer producers, even as Lagunitas sold their whatever percent to Heineken.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
