Craft Beer Eras and Big Brewery Buyouts

Beer Guys Media Episode 454

Spring has sprung and everything is covered in pollen

We attended Little Beer Fest in Duluth, GA last weekend and the Atlanta area set a record for pollen count.  The sky was a bit yellow-green hazy.  Madness.  The sneezes and itchy eyes didn't keep us from enjoying a lot of great beers, though.

You ever think about the various "eras" of craft beer?  The IBU wars, the race to be the most sour, Haze Craze.  We ponder what the various eras have been and what may be next.

The tariffs we've been talking about have finally rolled out, so we share the latest on those.  It's going to hit everything.  Buckle up.

Some big news on the buyout front this week with Anderson Valley and Great Divide being acquired.  Locally, our beloved Terrapin Brewpub at Truist Park is now a Blue Moon brewpub.  Since Terrapin was sold and Miller-Coors has rights to beer at the stadium it was kind of expected this might happen.

In other news a thirsty gentleman has invented a self-cooling beer can and we find out what each generation's favorite beers are.
