It was a good one in the taster pack, though.

I Wear Pants;1370767 wrote:$12.49 a twelve pack isn't much cheaper than a lot of micros.

And either way, I was talking about people that never purchase outside of the macros. Not people that mostly purchase macros and sometimes try other things.

I Wear Pants;1370772 wrote:I should clarify that I mostly meant within the beer industry not that they're a particularly corrupt industry compared to a lot of them. But the macros support laws that make it very difficult for smaller breweries and new competition to open and distribute their products.

As far as things that aren't corrupt or anything that I don't like we can move on to the marketing. The macros don't market their product on the merits of it's taste or quality but on silly things like "coldness". They found that it's more effective to sell this way (and it's really a brilliant bit of marketing but as a brewer and someone who loves beer I don't like it but again it's not that they're doing anything morally objectionable in this regard).

It is the "winner" of the Project 12 competition. From the brewmaster in LA. It was the red labeled one in the 12 pack. Was delicious, nice to see it released.
