BC has a lot of meme breweries popping up over the last decade.

I don't drink.

We're approached Peak Brew. It's NUTS.

There are approx 4000 craft breweries in the US now. It's getting bewildering. I'm expecting a shakeout soon, with perhaps a stable 500 existing within a decade.

Lot of meme beers sprouted in the last 10 years, usually with high alcool%

Government fucks you in the ass if intend to make business by it, but I guess you can get large amounts of beer cheaply by making it by yourself since alcohol tax is so goddamn high. DIY beer probably goes for ~2€/l when commercial beer is usually ~4€/l or over and 4,7% because Finns drink themselves alive if it was higher or something.

Nanny state at it's finest.

Loads of muh microbrews

The number of French breweries is skyrocketing, and people are slowly starting to realize there's more to beer than just the industrial shit you drink in front of football

microbrew is a fucking meme
a few years ago it was coffee now people circlejerk over "craft beer"

Noice!

But do any of the locals make anything worth drinking?

>>67084259
Similar price point here I suppose. Surprising. I thought it was way cheaper in Finland.

Said the country with some of the best beers in existence.

Most of our large-scale "Pilsners" are pale imitations (literally and figuratively) of what a Pilsner is supposed to be. Most of our ales are pale imitations of our lagers. Too many craft brewers are doing overly hopped/too much citra/cascade IPAs and adding strange things like habaneros, but it seems that each one has at least one flagship brew that is flavourful, pleasing to the palate, and usually pretty simple.

There's a brewery around the corner with a sasparilla stout that took off on them. Aside from the sasparilla root, it's just a mildly sweet, malty stout.

I've got a Christmas beer bottle conditioning in my basement right now that's a bit more complicated, but ultimately it's a dark ginger beer that I'm trying to get some clove and orange out of (through yeast, hop, and temp control abuse). While it should be good, it's not going to compare to anything by Schloss Eggenberg or Hacker-Pschorr.
