    'Arse-gravy' - LOL :slight_smile:

    A rather amusing rant.

    I presume they are a bit simple and am actually refraining from slagging them off as it might come across as bullying.

    Wow, Chris taking the moral high ground.There's a first.
    Difficult not to disagree with him though. Let's see where this goes from here.

    By the way, the irony of the article's second last paragraph was not lost on me.

    I do think it's funny with his message not to give them the attention they desire, a message he's given in a widely read blog post that's probably being quite widely circulated amongst the beer world.

    Also it's funny that THB are charging £25 a pop just to go to the bar for a Tiny Rebel meet the brewer/tap takeover evening. I know you get to keep your glass but... bloody hell.

    THB are feeding them well. Although Brewmeister beer does look shit, especially that Armageddon.

    And I hope Chris and THB manage to contain this potential situation here. Now that they've said their piece they need to just blank brew meister. Some of brew meister's points may actually be worthy of discussion but certainly not as a ham fisted piece of promotion.

    Yes, especially when it is know that somewhere down the line, for example, that Tiny Rebel beers are being marked up by 300% or 400% in some cases. That must be a case of it being well known "craft", so somebody knowing they can charge a premium for it.

    If there is one topic which makes the 'craft' beer industry unite and go nuclear it's any discussion about price gouging. I'll leave it up to you folks to decide whether the oftenhysterical hysterical reaction to the accusation can be explained either by proud crafty businesses defending their good name or others who might just have caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

    CwrwAmByth knows how to read between the lines. And the 'message' unintentionally reveals so much more than just being an attempt to be a 'craft' unifying sword of truth.
