Eleven days into February and do you know where your flagship beer is? Or what a flagship beer is<\/a>? My contribution to #Flagshipfebruary<\/a> posts Friday, and that’s when I’ll add more thoughts here. So this is a No Flagship, No Corn roundup. If you somehow missed the Chronicles of Corn you should be reading Alan McLeod’s Thursday posts<\/a>.<\/p>\n A Long, Strange Trip \u2014 Wicked Weed is Opening Something in Atlanta, But They Don’t Know What it is Yet.<\/a><\/strong> Brewers are ready for the low-ABV revolution. But are beer drinkers?<\/a><\/strong> hey there! That recent outside pic of y'alls looks stellar. Gotta visit. New for us on the dot ag: we'll hit $500k in local farm spending this year, and we're thinking about transitioning at least one year-round beer to all-local grain.<\/p>\n — Fullsteam Brewery (@fullsteam) February 7, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nA story as strange as the headline suggests. Wicked Weed co-founder Walt Dickinson rambles just a bit throughout, and there is no single takeaway. He asks, and answers, the question I find everywhere I go these days. “For me, the big line is, ‘How big can we get without compromising the quality?'” Dickinson says. “And I know there\u2019s incremental compromise that happens with scale, but not from production. I think that’s the biggest myth I’ve ever heard.” He provides an interesting example, but I suspect it is not that simple.<\/p>\n
\nBecause this is the way many people think. “First, you take the serving size of your beer. Then, you multiply by the ABV. Divide by the price, and there you have it: the absolute value of the buzz in your bottle.”
