NO NO NO they dont.. They make a product that they can sell. None of my beers have ever, or will be sold
If you think your beer is better than every commercial beer, you are severely deluding yourself.

So, is it so wrong for a creator to be convinced that their product is better than what is on market? Certainly. It's the core to which capitalism thrives.
My HB is a lot better than any beer that is served in any pub in the West Mids.
That is a fact. I will nver be able to get the consistancy right as I only brew 5 gls at a time. I dont want to. The next brew will be totaly different.
And I would venture a guess that SN is still one of the best American Pale Ales in the country, hands down.

It's a matter of pride....how do you know your the best at something you do? YOU JUST KNOW IT.....Kinda like Love...
I say have pride in your beer....someday I hope to be calling mine the best....
You can have pride in your beer, and not be delusional.
I make good beer and I'm proud of that. There are many breweries that make better.
Because what is "best" to the individual is all that matters.
Regardless of qualifications, number of stars, or units sold per annum. It ALL still comes to personal preference.
Not for me because I don't buy beer. I drink what I brew and I brew what I drink. But my 'cloning' doesn't fit (for example) GMB's definition of cloning...they're more like 'inspired by' brews.So if you find a beer you like to drink (bottle/pub/whatever) is it not better to drink that beer than try to replicate it ?
Long post coming up....
First somre background information on myself.
Im a chef, 45 years old and been cooking since the age of 15. Ive worked in the "Executive" role of most 3* Michelin restuarants throughout Europe. I retired last year. I now work(part time) as a Judge for the BCF ( British Culinary Federation)( Google my name).
Sorry, Ive got to go now TBC
They formulate a beer that they think tastes the best, then they price it according to the cost to make, unlike American macrobreweries where they pick their ingredients to lower cost..
There are states where limits on the ABV of beer prevents the distribution of high-gravity IPAs, Belgians, and barley wines.

No one here brews beer better than the good craft brewers. If you are, why are you still in your day job? .
Can we put this myth to bed? Seriously?
American Macro doesn't use adjuncts because they're cheap. They use adjuncts because thats what their customers wanted when the recipes were derived.
When these recipes were derived, americans had access to much more food than most of the world. We all had access to meat. Americans no longer wanted beer to be a meal. They wanted something light to go WITH their meal.
When these beers were first brewed, they were significantly MORE expensive than all barley beers, to brew, and to buy.

But, the quoted post seems to imply that his beers are the best simply because he doesn't sell them. The act of selling beer makes the beer worse or leads to changes that make it worse. That's a very silly thing to say.
No one here brews beer better than the good craft brewers. If you are, why are you still in your day job? Brewing something that is great to hand out to friends is one thing, making product someone will pay money for is completely different.
All due respect but, I make a cheeseburger at home that is leaps and bounds better than anything available at McD's, BK, Wendy's, or Braum's combined but, in no way does that mean I wish to make a living doing it.
Why do people always resort to this? McDonalds makes a specific style of cheeseburger. Do you think you make a better cheeseburger than a good cheeseburger joint? Every good cheeseburger joint?
We're talking about craft beer here, not the lowest common denominator.
Same difference. Craft/Macro beer. Craft/Macro burgers. Point is that just because someone does something well does not mean they must enter a commercial market to validate it.
The perception of excellence be it in beer or burgers is no different. either comes down to chance in mixing ingredient in a favorable manner or aggressive marketing.
But we all know that statement is BS because the only way to know would be to have tried ALL commercial beers and we know he hasn't done that.Oh, I agree, but the OP is making the argument that his beer is better than ALL commercial beer. Not that its better than just Macro.
