Sigh.Being a non drinker of alcohol any article like this makes no sense to me. People consume alcohol for the effect not the taste/olfactory experience. Seems to me craft beer is like the Grange or Moet, it makes people think you are informed, rich, have taste, or like me, you are a bit of a tosser. People drink because there is alcohol in a bottle and the rest is a sales pitch. I suppose in an ideal hipster run society there will be a craft brewery for every person (adult) and a baby craft brewery producing non alcohol baby beers for the young.
I actually agree with that statement for the majority of the drinkers. Why do you think all the megaswill companies are so rich? Because they make good products? It's the image that is built about the product that makes you buy it. There are a lot of people who currently drink microbrewery beer just because it's currently trendy, bit like wine was 10 years ago. People who drink beer for flavor are in the minority group.treefiddy said:First comment:
