I feel like I grew up in the best time period for beer. I was just old enough to drink in early 2000s but it wasnt until a few years later that a friend showed me something actually good. We went on beer trips across the country a few times, traded with people online, and were involved in the local community beer groups and gad crazy wild tastings. At this time we saw beer blow up from the late 2000s to mid 2010s. We knew the market could never sustain its self. I kind of moved on at this point, barely drink now and if i do ill still pickup the best thing i can find at the local store but thats about it. Ive noticed the beer space in stores has decreased a lot over the years as well. Our states breweries have been shutting down a lot as well. End or an era i guess, just glad i got to experience the best of it.

Need to insert something about owners forcing brewers to follow the latest trend

They turned beer into wine culture and now I can be a free alcoholic.
