Even Sam Calagione lists Ayn Rand as one of his inspirations. This is the inevitable result of a market based solution to a market caused problem. The problem is consumer capitalism and the only winning move is not to play (ie -- to homebrew).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-51546124328371065532011-05-30T15:42:47.989-07:002011-05-30T15:42:47.989-07:00re: shawn

Last summer I taste tested Shiner 101 Czech Style Pilsner against three Colorado craft pilsners; it did not fare well; ranking #24 on my list.Jack R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07625645308707849072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-79996494303097118202011-05-30T11:00:37.586-07:002011-05-30T11:00:37.586-07:00From a 'craft beer' standpoint, does Gambr...From a 'craft beer' standpoint, does Gambrinus have any drinkable beers? I know that has nothing to do with success/failure, but does anyone who cares what they drink (that's a loaded phrase, I know) think anything that they make is good? Shiner Bock? Blue Heron? Pete's?shawnhttp://pick.im/shawn-bernardnoreply@blogger.com
