I've cut down on my drinking like 90% so maybe that's the reason...
But you knew this was coming. There are only a handful of places that make really good beers. Everyone else is all the same very average IPA, same lager, etc. When I go home to Lakeland and there are like 4 craft beer places you know it's way over heated. Actually one there just went out of business. The problem is it takes well into the 7 figures to get the equipment and these places up and running and there is just way too much supply. Add iI know a lot of friends that have basically just gone back to the basic beers. One problem is the IPAs and craft beers give me a wicked hangover, not worth it when I have to get up early with two adorable(asshole) kids.
I think there is a place in every town or submarket for a good beer spot. Those that have a good atmosphere, good food and good beers will do well. But the rest can die along with other fads cupcake shops, burger joints, and yogurt shops and $10 a drink juice bars.
