Are smaller brewpubs over and out?
The establishments that closed did so for good reasons... No matter how hot a market is, if the product, service and or management are weak, then eventually they will close. I'm disappointed in the gossipy nature of this article... Brandon, you are a better reporter/writer than this...— August 21, 2013 1:04 p.m.
Truth in beer reporting and other novel concepts
"I’m a writer paid directly by a publication that asks me, in return for the compensation they provide, to be diligent about reporting on the entire scene and be truthful." True enough Brandon.... but you also write, sometimes sans by line for the Breweries that write you checks to say nice things about their beer.... the breweries that have been your bread and butter for years. You have been more than kind in reviews of, shall we say, mediocre beer for a paycheck... you are a good writer and happen to write about a subject I enjoy reading about...a Beer writer saint you are not.... you collect checks from more than just Stone and The Reader.... and you write what the check writer wants to hear. Maybe not such a good idea to throw stones...— August 15, 2013 10:04 a.m.
