    What complaints about the craft beer world are you tired of hearing or reading. Is there any validity to them or are people just whining? Let's hear it.

    People who complain that trades should be $4$ and not driven by secondary, and then make an offer where they clearly win on secondary. Make a $4$ offer where you lose on secondary and I'll pay attention.

    Speculation on how the craft beer scene is disappearing/collapsing.
    Whining with no validity.

    "Beer XYZ is way overpriced." Hey, Einstein, ever heard of supply and demand? It may be priced beyond your means, but if they're selling all they can produce it ain't overpriced.

    I thought what made it a hobby was complaining about the subtle minutae that no sane person cares about

    I did forget the important part of the beer hobby where you turn your drunken complaint about a single incident into an existencial crisis for an entire industry

    I don't complain about IPAs or NEIPAs because of what they are. I am not as excited about hop flavors but that's a personal opinion.

    I do get frustrated about not being able to find beers at so many beer bars or independent beer stores because there are limited taps and space on shelves is at a premium so they only include the IPAs and limited/seasonal release beers from every brewery which more often than not are IPAs, sweet stouts, or sours.

    Of course you don't have that problem because "craft beer" is less common so the Traditionalists™ aren't actually losing any of their biers.

    Are you a Monty Python fan?

    I’d like to complain about people who constantly hold things up by complaining about people who complain. It’s high time something was done about it!”

    I haven't heard recently any complaints in threads about the use of 'mules' when purchasing above the limit of a hyped, new-release beer. Doesn't anybody do that anymore?

    “Approachable”. It’s a god damn beer, not an attractive, out of your league woman. I have several 50%+ bourbons that I, and thousands of others, somehow survive drinking, so every beer is approachable.

    You have to contact The Department of Redundancy Department for that issue...
