if you're using their one-off non-carbed cask beer as your measuring stick for Sierra Nevada, then you may need to re-assess stuff and things.midlife crisis wrote:
Very little. Had a few different Sierra Nevada's at Cask Days. They were good, but hardly knocked my socks off. "Great" U.S. beer that puts our local brewers to shame is largely a myth IMO, at least insofar as what we're likely to get on tap. I'll continue to support Great Lakes, Nickel Brook and others, thanks.
fresh Torpedo and Pale Ale are forces to reckon with and if you think that's "myth" then i don't know how i can continue this conversation with you, sir/madame.
just blink twice if it was Trafalgar.Kish84 wrote:
A local brewery that I'll leave nameless was complaining about these new beers coming through. They were pretty much told to make better beer to compete with the US brews.
Anyways, if you look at the politics behind us getting in non-Ontario kegs and the cost associated with it and the # of keg agencies (read: monopoly), you think that, if it goes according to plan, SN would have an aggressive take on entering Ontario, if they're bothering to enter here. i don't mean "Molson" aggressive, but i can't see why Volo, C'est What, the Only, etc etc all end up having their beer on tap.
