– New Beers Everywhere, But Buyers Beware.<\/strong><\/a> Luke Nicholas, he of Epic Brewing in New Zealand, actually provides three posts for your consideration, linking to a couple within his own. You’ll also want to read The Emperor’s New Suds,<\/a> in which Greig McGill asks, “Why should the consumer have to pay for an experiment which went wrong when the brewer should know damn well the beer should have been dumped?” as well as what Geoff Griggs has to contribute.<\/a> But back to the questions Nicholas asks.<\/p>\n

What is happening is the market is learning, everyone is learning. Those that know need to share their knowledge.<\/p>\n

We just need more champions talking more about the bad stuff. I know that I needed to be told when I was first learning the different flavours in beer and what they were called. It is associating a word with a flavour. The first challenge.<\/p>\n

Maybe a blog isn’t the best place to call bad beers out? Maybe it is?<\/p>\n

Question: If I know a beer is bad technically to the point I wouldn’t drink it, should I share that information? Would you want to know?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

– German beer’s existential crisis.<\/strong><\/a> The New Yorker<\/em> uses the news that four of Germany’s largest breweries were hit by massive fines for price fixing to discuss the Reinheitsgebot, why the “craft-beer approach is surely a better method than price-fixing,” innovation, and other related topics. Nothing wrong with the story, but a reader might be left with the impression everything new is going on in Berlin. <\/p>\n

A mention of the Bier-Quer-Denker,<\/a> a group of brewers in Bavaria, would have been nice. Look at a map of Germany<\/a> — big country, and Berlin is a long way from Bavaria. <\/p>\n

Even Brew Berlin<\/a> commented on this. <\/p>\n

One question remains. Why does Filtz mention two of the youngest companies in the new German beer movement? Experimental brewers and start-ups like Riegele, Schneider Weisse, Crew Republic and especially the Radeberger spring-off Braufactum have been questioning the status quo for years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
