Of course he is criticizing new breweries, the name of the website is “Don’t Drink Beer”.
This guy is an asshole.
I believe the site name is an ode to those collecting beers without really drinking them (or at least drinking them in a window when they’re reasonably good). Could be wrong.
I just had beers at an amazing brewery in gary indiana (18th street) that was partially funded hy kickstarter donations and the brewer has just as much passion as any brewer ive seen. who gives a shit where the funding comes from if the brews are top notch?
