Canadian Bills Fan Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Mmmmmm Beer. Thank you Canada for strong beer! Also, thank you USA for SO MUCH MORE beer selection than Canada! Trying Heady Topper is still on my bucket list but I dont know how I will ever make that happen since I dont see myself in Vermont anytime soon CBF
PromoTheRobot Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 My daughter was in VT this weekend. I have her instructions to look for Heady Topper while there. No report yet if she was successful. BTW that stuff is $14/4pk or $75/case.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 It's amazing, the hype surrounding Heady Topper. I bought a 4 pack last summer, it was pretty good, but I'll probably never buy it again. I love beer...especially a good IPA, but I don't get the hype. For Vermont beers I would take Fiddlehead IPA any day of the week over the mystical HT.

Saxum Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 With the average drinking-age American quaffing almost 30 gallons of beer a year, there is no doubt that America is a beer-loving nation. Are you doing YOUR share? I think they are counting sales but beer is used for more than drinking, Brats are excellent cooked in beer. Guinness is an especially useful ingredient when you want something flavorful. Have used it for cake frosting, stews, nuts and slow cooked beef on weck with beef cooked in crock pot with george onions is fabulous. I am sure our professional chef has many recipes!
BarleyNY Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 https://www.brewersassociation.org/statistics/number-of-breweries/ The number of breweries in the US is just surpassing what it was 140 years ago. There were no macrobreweries then, but there was a lot less people too - and even fewer states. Beer is going regional/local and i expect the number of viable breweries to keep increasing for some time to come. It'll be interesting to see what becomes of the big breweries. There has already been some consolidation among them and, while I don't see them all going away, I do see their market share continuing to decline and further consolidation among them.

Bullpen Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 We're awash in breweries in Colorado, I mean we're overflowing with 'em I tell ya. You can't throw an empty bottle and not hit a new brewery that just opened up. The distance between micro and nano breweries is only a HOP away (no need for a skip or jump). You can barley keep track of em all. (okay, enough beer puns for one day).
KD in CA Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Are you doing YOUR share? I think they are counting sales but beer is used for more than drinking, 30 * 128 oz / 12 = 320 beers. Heck, that's less than one a day. Who's not keeping up with that?

Bullpen Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 so you're saying you're tapped? Nice! You got a good HEAD on your shoulders there Bawl.
BuffaloBill Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 https://www.redfin.com/blog/2016/06/best-cities-for-beer-lovers.html Buffalo named #2 Beer City
Chef Jim Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 https://www.redfin.com/blog/2016/06/best-cities-for-beer-lovers.html Buffalo named #2 Beer City They used median home price in part of the ranking and SF still finished #15. Pretty impressive.
Best Player Available Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 https://www.redfin.com/blog/2016/06/best-cities-for-beer-lovers.html Buffalo named #2 Beer City pretty cool. If Snortin Orton was still playing QB. Buffalo would rank in the top 5 for Jack Daniel sales too.
Just Jack Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 30 * 128 oz / 12 = 320 beers. Heck, that's less than one a day. Who's not keeping up with that? Someone has to pick up the slack for me.
CowgirlsFan Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Doesn't surprise me. I was stunned to see the rows of beer there in Rochester at Wegmans. Buffalo has a bigger population and there's probably even more rows there. Oddly...I even have a brewery here near me in Granbury Texas. Less than 5 miles away..The Revolver...see it up there give it a try...Mr CGF likes their Blood and Honey. Edited July 9, 2016 by CowgirlsFan
