BuffaloBud Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Great read. I am a very very small investor of a micro-brew here in Columbus. Also read somewhere that there are now as many breweries in the US as there were before Prohibition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Great article. I wonder how close Hammersticks is to this joint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanNC Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Nice article. Small craft breweries have been popping up all over the place here in Raleigh-Durham over the past few years, some make excellent beer and others...not so much. I've had beers from some of these breweries that I'd be embarrassed to serve even as homebrew to anyone, it would have been dumped right down the drain if I brewed it.

BuffaloBud Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Don't dump that beer!! Use it to your advantage in the garden (http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2011/08/09/14-household-uses-for-beer/). My grandfather would mix a bottle of beer into the sprinkler can and water the tomato plants just as they were setting fruit. He said it made the tomatoes sweeter.

Chef Jim Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Great read. I am a very very small investor of a micro-brew here in Columbus. Also read somewhere that there are now as many breweries in the US as there were before Prohibition. We visited a winery in Sonoma a couple of years ago. They told us the used to grow hops a long time ago there. I asked if they regretted pulling the hops for grapes and they said "we think about that all the time."

Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Great article. I wonder how close Hammersticks is to this joint. It's about an hour and a half away for me. I'll wait until they sell their souls, and then I'll be able to get a 6 pack at Price Chopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
