Brewing beer is easy, brewing beer enjoyed by your peers blindly is HARD. At Arizona Wilderness we turn the difficulty up using local and regenerative malt. We entered 4 beers into the lager issue of Craft, Beer, and Brewing and had 3 published spanning the spectrum of lager. Stoked for my team.

Need more deets. Are we talking how and who is considered craft?

I didnt realize Modelo described it as a Dunkel. I like lime in modelo and Im sure 90% of the people ordering assume its getting served with one. Bartenders are trying to service the masses

It’d actually be pretty fun woth a group to see who taps out first

I’d argue it’s a Mexican dark lager derived from German Influence. Similar to saying an IPA in America is English.

Eliminate Citra and Mosaic and 90% of brewers wont know what to do. HBC is a crutch for the average brewer.

Where are you at? Barrio is has a location in Gilbert and Tuscon. Have you had any Noble bread? Great bakery as well and a lot bigger than Barrio

I haven’t read many vivid stories lately, mostly carbon copy doom and gloom articles relating to closures and acquisitions within the top 20 craft breweries I agree I hope the BA would tell us if they thought 10% were going to close this year. I was being hyperbolic.

Bart wasn’t dishonest, he’s trying to display optimism, hope, and a psth forward. As far as adjuncts go, Im not sure about that example or Bart’s stance on breweries using adjuncts. I however don’t view the utilization of adjuncts like corn disqualifying a brewery from being craft.

The message I got was there are positives in the industry. There is growth to be had but it’s harder to come by. What is the leader of a trade organization supposed to say: “Its a competitive market with a decling demand. 10% of you are going to close this year. Have a great conference!”

That first sip of a beer that was conceptualized, developed, brewed, dry hopped, transferred, packaged, and the end result is what you hoped for as a brewer. #DIPA #LocalMalt

I think it’s a logical concept. Im not sure its going to save GABF but changes needed to be made.

Great article Jeff. From my perspective (Im not beer media) telling a “negative” story seems like the easier way to write a story that gets views. I like that Bart is challenging that without denying reality. What is he supposed to say: “Craft beer is declining and 10% of you will close this year.”

I think they are taking cues from their membership, just delayed. When Hazy IPA started to fade and seltzers and ciders started being made and sold by brewers they followed.

Good podcast however I agree with a lot of what was said the constant negativity towards “this industry” is a little hard to listen to consistently. Especially from your description of the Florida brewery scene and its culture and “maturity” which is the opposite of what Ive experienced on the West

Makes total sense. I struggle with fitting certain beers in American IPA when they were a ground breaking IPA on the West Coast that is too hoppy for American IPA but still has some color Pliney/Blind Pig imo are good examples of a beers that have evolved with modern Hoppy taste buds.

Super interested in his take as well. West Coast IPA is pretty different from Seattle to SD

@mikelovesbeer.com thanks for the shout out. My daughter thinks Im “famous now.” I miss the days of heated debates on beer twitter that literally didn’t matter but people were passionate about.

We’re in a massive market correction across BevAlc. There are less of gen-z and a smaller percentage drinking as millennials are maturing and changing drinking habits ON TOP of less disposable income

Just got #GABF results back and the third competition in a row we’ve had beers make it to the final round but comments were “Better beers on the table” or “not preferred beer” such a bummer

You should drive out to Phoenix we generally always have our English Mild on and our flagship IPA is pretty close to an english IPA.

The quality if hops this year is by far the highest Ive experienced in my career. Maybe the reduction in acreage wasn’t the worst thing? #ElDorado

Apologies for the perception of me calling out your knowledge of brewing that wasn’t my intent. I was speaking more to legalities of having a brewpub license, trucking wort, ect. Ive done a lot of that at my 3 stops in the industry.

@mikelovesbeer.com wort becomes beer once yeast is added. Just sugar water before that.

There’s almost that same thing in AZ but its fun. She hates IPAs. Its almost a litmus test to see how well your marketing is to get them to come in, try it, and post about it.
