The Craft Beer Revolution
April 3, 2015 at 5:55 pm
So I live in San Diego (there are at least 60 independent breweries within my county) and got introduced to the craft beer here in 2007 and instantly fell in love with it.
Just because I am into craft beer does not mean I don't like the occasional Guinness or Sol, just that I like variety in my pleasure substances.
What are y'alls thoughts on craft beer and do you regualry choose craft beer over the mass-produced beer?

I rarely drink mass-produced beer, with 80+ breweries in the local area and hundreds more in the region, I don't need to.
Lately my preference has been for barrel aged barleywines and Imperial stouts.

I live in San Diego, also. I love our craft beer. I've even started brewing myself. I rarely drink mass production beer.

I am a self-professed beer snob.
I could not imagine paying for a Bud Light or a Coors. It tastes terrible to me. But certain domestics and imports are a part of my rotation. Becks is one, as is Michelob Amber Bock. Rarely, but I occasionally partake.
But I overwhelmingly prefer microbrews. I love a place here in TN called Turtle Anarchy. They have a Rye IPA that I love. "Another Way to Rye." I enjoy trying new things, new breweries. For me it all started with Dogfish Head when I was in college. The 60 Minute IPA. Opened my world. Changed me from the college kid for whom beer was just a fun way to get plastered as cheaply as possible to a person who drank beer for the beer.

I live in Carlsbad (San Diego County), and I'm good friends with a lot of the up-and-comers. I don't do mass-produced beer... at all. Ever. There are three really great bottle shops within walking distance of my house, and 22 locally-owned bars in he square mile surrounding me; no reason to drink crap. Also, my palate is completely wrecked from my addiction to the west coast style IPAs I've been drinking for the past ten years.

I will drive from Tucson to Bisbee just to go to Old Bisbee Brewing Company. Life is too short for cheap, crappy, mass produced beer.

I also brew my own beer. I just got seven all-grain kits in the mail.

In the UK, we don't really have Craft Beer (apart from a few US imports) but have a lot of Real Ale. If any of you happen to be in the UK from mid-May to late September, definitely visit a local Real Ale Festival.
