Not "craft" enough for you?
Just make your own then faggot.

>>7193353

You really should look at AB's wiki page to see how diverse their brewery portfolio actually is... it's staggering.

Germanfag here, those are my 2 favourite beers.

They haven't changed the fucking recipe, Hans.
Also, Heineken > Becks.

>>7193444
Funny thing is

Becks in the US is made in the US, it's not even an import

Also, they have changed the Becks recipe

>>7193453

1000x this.

Becks in the USA tastes like garbage compared to the german one, but the german one is being made by Turks hired by americans in my country... GOD MOTHERFUCKING DAMNIT REEEEEEEEEE

They're basically all property of the Inbev mega-corporation in one way, shape or form.

mfw InBev owns all the beer in the world and cease and desists craft brewers.
Then they can use fedora tears to brew with.

becks is fürn arsch, das sagt dir jede echte bremer.

>>7195443
Beck's is by far the shittiest Pils. Even the other shitlord big brands here in Germany are better.
God damn even Oettinger is the exakt same piss as Beck's.

Try having a good taste.

>>7193439

it is oiterally impossible to find any traces of hops in Becks in chem labs.

ProTip Breweries are not regulated by the FDA

ich wette dir ist auch nicht bekannt, dass fast die hälfte allen dutschen Bieres von Dr.Oettker kommt, oder?

A friend of mine works for InBev, they are going to dominate the craft beer segment and you're going to like it. I support these brands that got taken over because they have just as much selection as the indies but better quality control and distribution (which translates to freshness and therefore quality)

>>7193353
what do we think about firestone/lagunitas/ballast point?

>>7193434
>Hurricane comes in cans
Why do I only see it in 40s?
That shits actually good all things considered.

>>7193353
Why do you care? Why does anyone care if ABInBev owns a "craft" brewery?
I'm genuinely curious since this keeps happening and the quality of the beer stays the same.

>>7196072
Wait until inBev buys all the fedora factories and watch their heads explode.

>bashes and campaigns against craft brew
>desperately seeks to own as many craft breweries as they can

>AB logic

>>7196089
I get how it sounds funny, but it's a really brilliant move on their part.

>>7196103
There was the option of "do it or don't", 50/50, yes/no. A group at a table agreed "yes".

Hardly "brilliant".

>>7196237
Your analogy is nonsense.
The marketing is to make people that despise "craft" beer buy more AB InBev since it makes them feel like they're winning.
Then the other side of drinkers will buy "craft" beer (which is also owned by InBev) to spite their opponents.

How is that not brilliant?

german beer officially shit

AB was founded by Germans in the United States so it makes them American not German
Also inbev which acquired AB in 2008 is a Belgian company

>>7196581
This what degenerates believe.

Washington here.

Elysian is popular, but there are so many better breweries in Seattle. Holy Mountain brewery is GOAT for anyone in the area looking for beer.

shiner's pretty fuckin nice

their black lager was off for me though

>>7193353
Somebody explain the problem to me.
Is it because they're monopolizing?

>>7198018
Regular Shiner, White Wing and Ruby Red are the only good variants, the rest always taste weird.

>>7198022
Only outside of the U.S

The U.S would never allow Bud to become a juggernaut and monopoly

Funny thing is, for how socialist and left the EU is, they allow such a big monopoly

Actual brewer here. I wish AB Inbev would buy me out. I'm getting bored catering to a market of bearded cunts who know fuck ball about anything, let alone beer

How many kiwi and peanut butter flavoured porters do you have on your beer roster?

>>7198058
reach for the stars, son.

>>7198104

Well people pay me to brew beer so I guess that makes me a brewer, but you're right and I'm wrong.

>>7198088

Fortunately not kiwi and peanut butter but the need to get creative with different/new flavours is becoming more necessary due to massive hop shortage and management's inability to contract for them properly. I'm going to do some small experimental batches in the new year and see what can be achieved. I should probably clarify that I'm from the UK and, as far as I know, peanut butter nitro chocolate stout/porter hasn't caught on in a big way just yet, but I'm sure it will. A load of my contemporaries are still busy trying to find a way to make sour beer somewhere near palatable

>>7198124
>I'm from the UK
I try to avoid the achingly trendy Bermondsey/Shoreditch "craft" wanker scene but from my limited exposure to it I gather that saison is the hot (literally) new thing now.

Also, try using elderflower petals in place of/addition to a late hop addition at 15-20g/l.

>>7198143

Saison has become a code word for "beer we fucked up but still want to sell". That's not to say there aren't any good saisons, but there's vast amounts of nasty ones. Im from up norf so our craft darlings at the moment are Magic Rock, Northern Monk, Vocation, Cloudwater etc. I'm going to trial lemongrass as a quasi substitute for the nice lemon-ish flavours of cascade and centennial and maybe have a play with grapefruit zest and flesh in the conditioning tank.

>>7198171
>Saison has become a code word for "beer we fucked up but still want to sell"

Yes, I don't quite understand how we went from "refreshing low-alcohol summer beverage for farm labourers" to "ferment at 30 degrees and aim for an abv of at least 7%".

>lemongrass and grapefruit
Sounds good. I assume you've tried St Peters grapefruit beer which to me was disappointingly watery and bland.

I wish someone would pay me to dick about with beer.

>>7198175

I haven't tried it. You only see St Peters in bottles up here and even then I generally overlook them. I was in California a couple of months ago and drank a bit too much Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin. Tried a Magic Rock grapefruit beer the other week which was pleasant but nothing amazing.

If only it were just dicking about with beer. I've got to sell it and deliver it as well. Today's brew is featuring Azacca as it's a hop I've never used before so I thought I'd give myself a Christmas treat

Beer has a low barrier of entry, outside of pub contracts. I don't fear a monopoly. As long as it tastes good and the price is right I'm drinking it.

The problem is as follows (at least for me):

AB over the last several years has marketed that they are proud to be a macro brewer and that they aren't concerned with beer in the same way that someone who might like craft beer is. They did this to distance themselves from those that many consider to be "beer snobs" and to take a position where they make themselves out to be better than craft breweries. There is absolutely nothing at all wrong with that if that was all they were doing; it's bog standard marketing.

However, AB is also quietly buying up small craft breweries, telling them not to make any real announcements about it, and to not change their products (Funny story about that. Elysian Brewing Company has a beer called "Corporate Beer Still Sucks" and they will continue making it even though they're owned by a corporate beer company.).

AB is trying to suck up to it's fans that dislike craft beer, and who think anyone that doesn't drink a lite lager is some kind of beer snob; while also owning several craft breweries and profiting off the people who like craft beers. I personally consider it a dishonest business practice as it's straight up lying to your customers about your company and brand. I, personally, am not willing pay for one of their beers as I don't wish to support a company that intentionally deceives it's customers and kicks down a small minority of people and then tries to make money off the people it's kicking down.
