Beer, revisited

SerenityNigh · January 30, 2016

Tonight going back to Hennepin, a great saison from Ommegang.

Maredsous triple, 10%. Solid Belgian brew. First time sampling this label.

Here are my beers for the day. The blank one is another Mad Hatter (liverpool), their white IPA. They'd'ran out of labels :drunk:

Sounds great. Had a quick look at US options, but none sound that nice.

Surprised by that mate, the range of US ales is next level at the moment. Maybe we should go into business?

The US distribution laws are really weird. Very hard to get state to state (unless you are a marco-brewery). Loads of the US haven't even tried SN Pale Ale, yet its everywhere in the UK. That's correct ins't it @SerenityNigh ?

U.S. Has a three tier division between brewer/distributor/reseller. Brewers can sell some product directly (growlers, brewpubs), but I'd guess the margins will be small because you'd have to buy from the distributor. It's obviously being done, but maybe that's why the options aren't as great.

Do you guys have Great Lakes, Three Floyds, or Heavy Seas there? Those are my three favorite breweries right now.
