Which FB group is this from? Need to look....
Ms Johnson should tell us how she really feels.
Pro brewers aren't exactly in love with the BA. Both sides are facing existential threats. What does the BA do for breweries? State guilds are far more important to breweries than the BA. Breweries don't need the BA. Breweries have been abandoning GABF for years now. Focusing solely on the BA isn't going to solve any issues for them. They are going to fail regardless.
Theses are interesting points, which I haven't heard before. Certainly, the Georgia state guild is driving the initiative to free up distribution here. In the past, was the BA the main body, and now has been supplanted by the guilds?Pro brewers aren't exactly in love with the BA. Both sides are facing existential threats.

The podcast host is active in this /r/homebrewing topic.
In many areas, the "best" of home brewing has a solid (established and mature) foundation.I think a big factor is that homebrewing is an established and mature technology. It's hard to create fresh content and buzz about things that have been well-covered over the years. Sure, there's some new gear and a few new methods to do things, but for the most part, it's been done already.
Would you have a link to this thread? I tried to find it and couldn't.Reading the thread on the AHA forum about the BA/AHA changes and then this, it doesn't seem like a bright future for the AHA. BA is happy to keep the competition, which is a profitable venture, and pass the rest of the convention off as a GABF booth. Wouldn't be surprised to see HBC reduced to a GABF booth or a single tack-on day to GABF. The AHA response in the thread on their forum essentially ignores feedback from everybody to talk about how great the AHA is.
Agree, I miss Gary GlassHertz is not a good representative for the organization
