I think I've had just about every craft, local, small batch, artisanal, cruelty free, organic, free range, fair trade beer and liquor out there. The market is beyond saturated. I hate to break it to you, but most local breweries and distilleries are garbage. They do well because they're local and people don't know what quality looks like. Now the better craft brews from other parts of the country which used to be readily available on tap at my go to spots have been muscled out by local mediocrity. And its 105 degrees outside. I'll take a bucket of them beers with the blue mountains on the can or a zima. some if it is absolutely disgusting. i was given vodka from a local distillery. it wasn't cheap, and was probably the most disgusting booze to ever cross my lips. i had to choke that drink back and lie about how much i loved the gift.

Next, they will be into firing single mothers on Friday and stocking IPA in their fridge while Jesus mows their lawn on Tuesday! Disgusting! Disgusting I tell you... How far BFLo has fall into the White Collar, pencil pushing abyss! Remember when we were cooler dragging, Northern, Upstate "sweater wearers" who could sneak a 30 pack of Blue® ,into their parkas and STILL get into Rich! Now we are IPA drinking snobs stuck in "2-Beer High Gear" who steal smokers from neighbors, shop Walmart on Weekends, and have poor Hey-Zeus struggle with the lawn on Tuesday! Next thing you'll tell me is that only 17% of Bills fans can drive Manual! Oh... @BringBackFergy @Cripple Creek this post was clearly pointed at @Gugny /smh in disgust and disdain! DANKE SHOEN...

Big Ditch or Ellicottville is far better tasting. because it's not lite beer. i've been to the ellicottville brewery a number of times. my wife loves the town, so we stay there once a year typically. there beer is good, but it's like any other craft beer on the market. i just don't know why you're comparing the two. this shouldn't be this hard.

It must be an American thing cause in Canada lite beer seems to only popular with the older crowd. The younger generation will drink Canadian or Alexander Keith's at a party or tailgating.

Big Ditch or Ellicottville is far better tasting. I think the mistake you're making is that you're comparing mass-produced, light beer to hoppy/heavy/higher ABV microbrews. You can't compare them. They're totally different beverages. And many people drink BOTH of them ... just in different settings. Know what I mean, Vern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I once ordered an $18 dollar beer at a bar down the road from me. It was incredibly delicious...best beer I've ever had. I wanted a second one but $36 on two beers....that could buy me 9 lite beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
