    Regarding "Crap on Tap" by Andy Crouch: Many thanks for a great article! Because of craft beer I have been able to appreciate what the big brewers accomplish on a daily basis. Your article puts a much needed perspective on this discussion board regarding their brewing abilities in . And a big thank you for your closing statement that corrupt business practices need to be ended. Wishful thinking maybe (regarding attitudes and practices), but everyone who enjoys beer can learn something from your well written words.

    Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the article. I've been receiving some good feedback on the piece and I'm now seeing No Crap on Tap signs everywhere I go.
