If you can create artificial demand and turn the whole inventory over in a week, then yes, that's a great way to make money.True, the best way to make money is to add heaps more of an expensive ingredient (hops) in to your product and then make it in a way to ensure that it expires quickly
Come visit. My town has 65,000 people in it and at least 18 breweries. And every single one has at least one NEIPA. (At least one has an NEIPA, a Session NEIPA, a Double NEIPA, and a rotating single-hop NEIPA.)Truthfully I don't care either way, any beer that tastes good in my book, trends come and trends go and in two years only the good ones will still be there. But one thing is for sure, the demand isn't artificial. I'd love to have the problem of too many breweries adding a beer to their long lists. I live overseas and we don't have those over here yet, heck we barely have any breweries, and the ones we do have cost 10$ a pint and aren't that great. (Japan)

That's kind of like telling a novelist that they shouldn't bother reading other people's' books - if they want to read a certain story they should just write it themselves.OK here is mine..
If your a home brewer why are you still buying other peoples beer? or even caring about it?..especially when it comes to who owns it or who sells out to whom? Other then drinking it at the occasional outing with friends or family its someones else dream/success, move on and build/perfect your own. Or get out of the game.
Using Irish moss is useless
I don't drink other people's beer at home. But I have 2-3 work meetings a month at bars, and meet friends for dinner in town fairly frequently, and the missus insists on the occasional date night. So yeah... I drink other people's beer. When I do, I'm occasionally disappointed, frequently impressed, and, very rarely, inspired.OK here is mine..

Because 99% of it is better than mine. It's hard to perfect your game when it's a part time hobby with limited equipment, especially compared to pros who spent years/decades studying, experimenting, etc..
I cook, but I still go to restaurants (chefs are better cooks than me) I work on my car but sometimes I take it to a mechanic, etc...
Actually that brings me to my contrarian opinion, almost all my homebrew friends have said their beer is better than pro beer, and I've seen that alot here. But it's not. Sometimes people make really good ones, and obviously I haven't tried people's on this forum, but I doubt it's better. Generally professionals do things better than amateur hobbyists. Sorry but that's just the way it goes.

Wait, wait, wait. Berliners are about as sour as they come! What are you drinking that's more sour than a Berliner? Is it straight vinegar?Mine... really sour beers are gross.
I like slightly tart beers... think Gose, Berliner Weiss..etc.

I yearn for the old days again when we used to ogle at pristine clear IPAs rather than glasses with what appears to be hop vomit.

Fell out of my chair! Hop Vomit
I love "Hop Vomit" but that name is awesome!
I'm over here researching how to brew a great pilsner, that is so 5 minutes ago (hair flick)
lol
