Honest Self Assessments

I've been trying a few random craft beers lately and I think they have raised their game in the past 20 years. Even random breweries in the middle of nowhere have phenomenal fresh well crafted beer. Even big name players are putting out phenomenal beer. I know I don't have the technique to produce beers like:
Cortland IPA
Goose Island IPA

All of mine are as good or better than some I have bought. That is not as much self praise as it is an indictment of the commercial brewing market. I have tasted some shag nasty commercial beers.

My last IPA was really good. Definitely like nothing i've had from a craft brewery. Though it was mostly in the aroma which I find a lot of breweries lack around here. But that was just 1 batch, the others left much to be desired.
