Please no more beer business talk....I am not a fan of most small brews, they don't really hop their beer but use a hop extract which is a cheap way to brew and doesn't product a fine taste. Also most small brew places (hate calling them breweries, they are not) tend to brew ales which are much easier to make than a true lager or pilsner. For my taste ales and their top fermenting yeast don't make it give me a beer that has had the hops steeped to extract flavor and body and the bottom fermenting yeast of a lager.
Gosh, see what spending 30 years in the beer industry does, I think it was worst than working as a CO......
