Anyone else already over the whole micro brewery thing?
The last 10 years has seen the wild growth of the micro brewery.
Now when I am at a Mc Mansion party we either have draft beer from the local brewery or a wide selections of IPA's on ice.
To be honest, I have yet to walk into a micro brewery and not found ribbons on their beers.
They clearly hand these out to anyone. Beers so cloudy you are hesitant to drink them? Award them!

Here in benighted England theres also a trend for micro-breweries and Gin is very in right now.
Luckily there remain several beers that have stood the test of time and rely only on taste and not marketing.Dont know if this is available in the US-if it is,please try it.....its hoppy,far from heavy and goes well with good music!

How do you make alcohol without fermentation?... to make vodka all you need is warehouse space, kettles and the ingredients--wheat, potato, rye, corn, grape etc--and you're in business. No fermentation, no aging, etc.

Sours or farm ales are classic beers from Belgium. They use wild yeasts and other microorganisms to prduce that complex flavor. Not a big fan myself, but a microbrewer close to me has a whole list of them. I guess people would rather drink this than apple cider vinegar.
Sours have been appearing everywhere. They are indeed sour (and I'm not talking about a shandy). I have yet to meet a fan ale I like. Pungent finish
...and the odd Belgian Framboise. Cider consumption is up, the wife & I have been drinking Doc's Hard Cider, a NYS producer. For summer I just picked up a case of Paulaner Hefe-Weisse and I usually cycle through some various cases throughout the year. I seem to have lost my taste for the big IPA's, just too piney for me. My new summer vice is Leinenkugel's "Summer Shandy" that my Costco carries, goes down easy on a hot day!
