    that wasn’t what I was originally talking about in my “controversial” (more like petty) opinion. I think when breweries go out of their way to say a beer is 7.1% instead of rounding it down to an even 7% for packaging irks me. I’m okay with beers that have any other number after that decimal point. But the “.1” after any ABV I think is useless and looks dumb. Just my opinion.

    16oz cans are now seen as a "premium" packaging. Consumers will pay more per oz in a 16oz package than a 12oz.

    Oh, IDK about that. It could mean it is not a "session beer"! :grin:

    Oof flavored beers can be delicious if done right! A good shandy is so refreshing on a summer day.

    I agree. I hear a lot of people say they dislike flavored beers because they don't taste like "beer" but I think thats just them being reluctant to change. With that being said I have had some great flavored beers as well as some pretty terrible ones.

    Hmmm...I've had a few beers to which my reaction was "OOF"....:grin:
    (luckily, not many since I read the labels carefully and avoid the nonsense ingredients that fall under the "innovation" mischaracterization).

    What Do you consider nonsense ingredients?

    My list of nonsense ingredients is essentially; whole baked goods, breakfast cereal, meat (excluding oysters), glitter.

    I think anything else.has potential to be used responsibly

    I can agree with that list.

    I also agree that anything else has the potential to be used but the emphasis is on potential since it is easy to go overboard with some adjuncts.

    I recall Ron saying on here he enjoyed Founders All Day IPA once. I found that surprsing.

    @patto1ro

    I had an English Mild yesterday, only 3.1% ABV. It qualified as a session beer.

    Unfortunately it had ".1" on the label, so I dumped it out.

    The only ingredient I require is brains. Unfortunately many breweries forget to use those.

    Just like the green glass that people here can't understand the logic behind. :slight_smile:

    Getting more and more difficult to find, from what I hear.

    Ouch. Good timing. :wink: I just had two De Dolle beers yesterday that really made me exceptionally happy (Oeral and especially Boskeun). Cheers.
