There IS a beer fest in Erlangen on Sunday.

I've had some great barrel aged beers that I'd gladly pay €15 for - lost abbey comes to mind. But this wasn't one. And if the customer doesn't like the product, one off profits aren't going to cut it long term.

I dunno, the world of craft beer is becoming so complicated now. It's great if you know what a gose, a grodziskie or a gueze is but if you're coming into now, say as a 20 year old, it's a complicated world. It's not helped by ignorent Brewers who completely misinterpret these styles either.

Dont get me wrong, it IS a great time to be a beer drinker but if this is to continue craft beer cannot be a geeky club where you need a degree to order a beer without being sneared at by yuppies. Or I might add, a bank loan.

Its in danger of out witting itself in my opinion. But hey ho, what do I know.
