They both excel in their high gravity beers, but don't spend the money on the bottles, just grab them when you see them on draught. And I feel like the feud is almost a gimmick.FEUO wrote:Not a big fan of either's work. I'd say I've had 1 good beer from each (ET Imp Bis Break, and Mik/FFF Risgoop). Beyond that, meh.
This article makes me even less of a fan. Grow up.

Didn't one of them mention the Gallagher idiots from Oasis?
Oi vey.
Well at least they brew better beer than those whiners "sing".FEUO wrote: Good point about the gimmick.

I did have occasion to be at a Mikeller tap takeover in San Jose a couple years back. I was disappointing that there was nothing under 9% ABV. Even the samplers were killing us and we didn't get to try enough beers. I'd say some were ok, but the flavours were hiding behind the booze, so it was hard to tell.
It kind of reminded me of the early days in US craft brewing were there seemed to be all this high gravity bravado going on v.s. sophistication. I always assumed that was because so many college dorm brewers entered the business.

Completely agree, Greg. None of the usual bs about "how craft has grown golly gee and the big guys are taking notice blah blah." Craft beer has become the "new normal".GregClow wrote:...I think we can probably all agree that this was one of the best articles related to craft beer to appear in a mainstream publication in recent memory, if not ever.
