Summary
This week’s episode is about ‘Small Beers’ and their growth. It’s not just small format servings, though… breweries are leaning hard into lower ABV beers that meet drinkers where they are right now. The question that brings forth for me is what does this mean for drinkers? What does it mean for breweries, and most importantly – what the heck does it mean for the industry overall? It’s a booze fueled conversation… fueled specifically by a flight of four “Rums” – I say that lovingly… because one of them might have been some sort of rum-like NA option. It was weird, a little surprising, but in the end a great way to keep rolling through my warm weather Rum-exploration. In local news, through a label out of Rhinegeist, we might have a sneak peek at one of the first beers to come out of the New Riff collaboration (and I say ONE of, very carefully… because if I’m right – we might be seeing more than one of these!) Cuvee’s, plans for next week’s episode. It’s action freaking packed.
