This happened globally, not just in the US. The question then arises--why did the US lose breweries producing all but a single style while this didn't happen in beer-producing countries of Europe?<BR/><Jeff Alworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930119177544342495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-16400443600682435882007-11-09T14:51:00.000-08:002007-11-09T14:51:00.000-08:00Maybe it's about the little guy wanting to get a p...Maybe it's about the little guy wanting to get a piece of the big boys action...?? ;-}<BR/><BR/>OTOH, I think all the homebrewers out there know how hard it is to brew a lager that is THAT light and THAT flavorless...

Full Sail is obviously aware of the second as the packaging for Session is almost completely devoid of Full Sail markings.
