Jens, that makes perfect sense to me.

The missing parts could become lack of innovation and removal of the Ølfabrikken spirit, as Christian IS Øfabrikken (hope that made sense to you guys).

Pretty sure their stuff doesn't suck. Could be wrong though. And isn't Mike Murphy still the head brewer at Gourmet? I highly doubt he would "water down" great recipes.

It seems a though the brew master has been run over by business interests. I guess I am not enough of a businessman to ignore that nagging feeling in the back of my head. The fact that they got rid of the guy who invented the beers is troubling to me. Silver lining: I do not think they dare touch the Porter as it is a commercial success.

That post was taken to mean a lot of different things by a lot of people. My conclusion was only that it is exactly due to one thing: Janufeb. People have been grouchy and, frankly, they are being too grouchy given the fun and convivial hobby we all share. That being said, you have taken bad news (if news of someone not making a go at 9 dollar beer when their competition is under 5 dollars) and made a positive out of it. Beer blogging is one of the best examples of primary reporting through blogging. When I started out blogging back in 2003 there was much hope about citizen journalism. That has been a bust for the most part. But in a niche like good beer, it works. Maybe not so much in Janufeb - but it works. Not taken as a shot at all.
