There is no thought required. I know people are stupid as a generalization. Where does our school system rank in the world again??? Please do not make me point out the idiocy that runs rampant because that would make an entirely new topic...
Most of the bars around here serve nothing but BMC. This is another generalization, yes there are fantastic bars around here but they are the exception.
Sure it does when you can see the equation. You address this in your statement above. The majority of beer drinkers drink BMC. When you look at population growth vs. growing craft beer sales the craft beer sales are still greater. Since it is pretty obvious that there is a HIGH demand for craft beer where do these people come from? The only place they could have which is from the BMC drinking populace. I have heard terms like "craft beer movement/revolution/renaissance" more in the last 5 years than ever before!
Motion 414 just made your statement void here, thanks to Miller/Coors but since it is not effecting you why should you care?
You are seriously #^*@$ kidding me here right? Every craft brewery in my state makes a light lager and BMC makes craft beer. Your beloved Michelob makes an IPA. The specific beer styles do not compete against each other the same style from different breweries do.
Most craft beer drinkers I know, didn't start out drinking BMC, but no beer at all. So that's one way craft beer can grow not at the expense of BMC.
I never said BMC, as corporations, don't want to compete with craft beer. I'm saying, actual Budwesier, the beer, is not a competition for craft beer - and that's the beer with prime shelf space. That's like saying Dodge and Bentley are competitors. Sure they both sell cars, but to different markets.
