By it's very nature they'll be some things in this thread that a poster has no opinion on. We don't have a thread for "things you don't get except coffee" or "things everyone doesn't get". The latter would be really dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I'm a latte to this topic, but here's the results of a recent in depth survey the keen eyed among you will spot I've just finished the Waitrose instant, but fear not, I'm off to the shops (that is not my skateboard, I borrowed it from a yoot) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only meant as a tongue in cheek comment and not without a small hint of irony as I started it with a post about not getting proper coffee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An extension to that, I tend to think of craft beer as more microbrewery fare, less mass produced industrial scale produce. Which of course ties into it unlikely to be available on draught... Although saying that I once had a straight pint of Sam Adams which was described as a craft beer... Coincidentally also one of the worst pints I've ever had. Tasted like they'd brewed it in the trap one of the gents whilst still in use. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craft beer by definition is a microbrewery beer, or at least not mass produced. It's the one key criteria for something being a craft beer. Which makes it fun to see the big boys trying to market their new stuff as craft when in reality they're precluded from making it simply because of their size. Doesn't stop them hoovering up the smaller brewers to get in on the act, and as has already been demonstrated in here, the public forgetting or diluting the term 'craft' so that the big boys can take it for themselves aswell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Yes, literally 'craft' must be the opposite of 'mass produced'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often where the brewing is done on the pub premises, but also sent out to other freehouse pubs. I'll be having some later this evening in our local, in fact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or any appeal, as far as I can see. What's worse is that I've got to go watch an amateur dramatics version of it in a month or two as well.
