Brewery Etiquette

[max384]

If it were me, I'd send them an email. They have a contact form on their website. I'd be as tactful as possible, but let them know what you don't like about their beers. Worst they can do is not listen.

A new brewery in a small town is awesome! But, if they serve crap beer, it isn't. If they fail, it seems unlikely that a new brewery will take up residence in such a small town. So, the best case scenario is that they improve their beer and stick around. Simply not giving them your business is one option, but if you truly want them to improve their beer and succeed, let them know!

Just send them a link to this thread and ask them if they think the OP was talking about them.

Really, if they are making bad beer and the brewer doesn't realize it, they shouldn't be in the business and the market will just push them out anyway. If the brewer does realize it, and they are just trying to make some money, he better be trying to fix it.

Try them again, in the taproom, in a month.

As people have said upthread people who have zero experience brewing who hire a brewmaster who has zero experience brewing are probably a lost cause. That`s like hiring a head chef who has only ever cooked TV dinners in his life.

Unsolicited advice from strangers is generally well-accepted.

They shot him.

They shot him.

That's a bit harsh, maybe they should BITE THE BULLET and admit their beer is questionable. *insert rim shot*

I'm not questioning your palate but since different people have different tastes, you could check out the ratings thus far on Untappd and see what others think. Also it's a good opportunity to pan the beers if need be

Cloudy IPA's are the rage right now though
