craft beer

What is the going rate for a pitcher of the Nectar? I realize if you're a regular or know the bartender etc. it's a mute point, but for the general public. $15?

BEER!  Post some pics of that Hopslam.  This isn't a computer geek thread.
While some may disagree, I think this is a great DIPA. Only fresher I've had is when I was down at Cigar City Brewing visiting my parents and we picked up a case of JaiLai which was canned the same day( great beer by the way).



 
mmmm cigar city ... and i don't really love beer, even.
 
but especially the bolita brown and the marshall zhukov stout ...
 
i have two bottles of the infected bolita brown that haven't exploded in my cabinet yet, even after like 3 years ...
 
they have some kind of funk ...
 
How far are you from CC grant?

I just saw an article from the Tampa Tribune(I think that's the paper) that Anhueuser Busch MAY buy them out. That would be a tragedy in my opinion.

45 min to an hour depending on time of year, time of day, and whether I'm at home or work ...
 
Nowaday's though, their stuff is on tap and in bottle/can all around Sarasota ... but none more important than at Nancy's, LOL!

A lot of microbreweries have cropped up in Bradenton, one of the towns between Sarasota and Tampa ...
 
Honestly, wheebz got this started here ... credit where it's due ... the other places cropped up after he starting laying down the law at Darwin's ...
 
Now there's a handful of places around, but yeah, they are all having to lobby in Tally 'cause the Fortune250-size players don't want to give up market-share ...
 
It'll be interesting ...

They know they can't compete because all of their attempts at craft beer fail so they are resorting to super bowl ads and such trying to undermine the industry.  They don't like that craft beer is approaching 10% of the market.  F them.
Agreed. they go and make a zillion dollar ad degrading craft brewers but the are trying to buy them all up behind the scenes. I used to love Goose Island beer, whom they bought, haven't bought it since. I guess that's big business though. At what point do you have enough success/money to not sell out to the big boys? I don't agree with it but the almighty $$$$ is powerful.
 
I have the privilege of knowing several big-time craft brewery owners.  I know that for them, it is their passion, their lifeblood.  They would not sell out for any price.  I have a feeling that there are many more like them in the industry.  The craft beer industry is alive and well.  It is growing and will continue to do so.  AB and the like, can try, but will not stop them.  Craft beer is here to stay.  It was the first beer in this country and it will be here forever.

I hope Sam at DFH stays that way. That series they had on Discovery was canceled due to Coors threatening to pull all money/advertising if I recall. I love almost all the DFH line of brews...
 
Muahahha finally landed near my damn house!
