Falling Beer Quality as MN gains more Breweries

My thoughts exactly.

 

Holy crap, that's some impressive algorithms at work there. My respect for Yelp just went up.

 

You are so off. I have visited F-town multiple times and beers are always on point for the styles. And the cans are pretty delicious. even right off the get-go.

 

Good for you and Faribault.

 

I was at a local watering hole that has a lot of craft beer taps and they put F-Town IPA on. During one of my visits, that beer outsold everything else by a factor of 4. The owner says it has been extremely popular and continues to do well even a couple months later. He says people like the malty character and stands out from the other IPAs. I do not like the beer and will not drink it, but a lot of people do.

 

Lol, I give up. I no longer understand craft beer drinkers

 

Welcome to my world.

 

F-Town is the closest brewery to me. It makes me sad. The taproom-only beer is OK, but it leaves a lot to be desired. I'm hopeful the breweries in development for Northfield, Dundas and Cannon Falls can rise to the occasion.

 

F-Town seems to be doing fine despite the impressions of the (professional and amateur) beergeek peanut gallery -- make of that what you will.

My main takeaway from all of this development is the same as it always has been: If you like it, support it. If not, don't.

Not too controversial, eh? But the internet exists to haggle over opinions.

 

agreed. if you like it, buy it. if you don't, don't.

 

I didn't hate F-Towns IPA. For whatever that's worth.

 

everyone likes what they like. It doesn't mean you hate it. Just different palates.

 

That's what I said. I didn't hate it.

 

But did you hate it?

 

Nope. Didn't hate it. Not one bit.

 

I think you hate it.

 

I'm going to go on record here, and state that I do not in fact hate this beer.

 

I'm going on the record, and saying that you, sir, are a self-denying hater who should seek therapy.
