Are American Craft Breweries Ruining Beer?

I'm glad you have a solution to the problem. Cheers.

 

Is it killing beer? No.

But it could potentially morph beer into something unrecognizable if this becomes the dominant "style" preferred by the majority of consumers.

Although, I doubt they'll catch on like NEIPA's did.

Personally, while I may like the taste of some "dessert" beers, I can only drink a few sips before it just becomes too much. If I'm going in that direction, I'd rather just have a traditional aperitif or a sweet wine.

 

sure you do...all you have to do is look at the reviews on BA. :-)

 

You can find good to great interpretations of the classic styles by American Brewers. Almanac Brewery produced an excellent Kolsch ale.

 

Ruining? No. Making trends that I personally dislike sometimes such as marshmallow and candy beer? Yes. But that doesn't matter to me. I'll stick to buying whatever I like. I've swung back hard into West Coast style IPAs recently and I'm stoked that they're an American brewing creation.
