Nick's intro[]
macrobrews
Budweiser, Coors, Miller.
For decades, this tri-force of macrobreweries dominated the domestic beer sector. Through the 1970s, largely due to the lager distributed by this trio of megaliths, American beer was like American coffee - a purely functional, liquid drug devoid of character and earning global notoriety as swill.
But on October 14, 1978, President Jimmy Carter signed H.R.1337, a fittingly 'leet' law that legalized home brewing in the US. By the mid-1980s, now freed from legal shackles that effectively prevented upstarts from entering the market, craft breweries emerged; most notably, Boston's Sam Adams. And in the 1990s, contemporaneous with the explosion of artisan coffee roasters and upscale cafés staffed with baristas, craft or microbrewing took off in the States - booming, busting, and then after a brief refractory period, booming again.
And like the wine industry, the epicenter of microbrewing in the States clustered in the Golden State - California.
Today, there are over 1100 craft breweries in CA, comprising a $9 billion industry, including such stalwarts as Firestone, Lost Coast, Angel City, Sierra Nevada, Stone Brewing, and an LA-based brewery founded in 2011 by Meg Gill and Tony Yanow. The brewery burst on the scene with its compulsory IPA offerings, but really found its footing with fruit-infused concoctions like its popular Mango Cart Wheat Ale.
As the brand grew in popularity, it added more breweries as well as dine-in brew pubs, offering familiar gastropub fare to pair with its liquid breads. By the middle of the decade, the brewery was producing 45,000 barrels annually, towering over its SoCal competitors.
As for Budweiser, Coors, and Miller? (The latter two have now merged as MillerCoors.) They've evolved with the times, by simply buying up craft breweries in droves, including the very brand founded by Gill and Yanow. As Yanow told the LA Times at the time of the sale, "I didn't sell out my soul. I sold my business. And I find it hard to believe that anyone in my shoes wouldn't have done it too." It's the kind of rationalization that one might expect from a man who named his brand for a Grateful Dead song.

| “ | Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a fun kids' movie which would be disgusting in real life. If you had the FLDSMDFR (Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator) and could generate food weather without worries of spoiling or food waste, what would be your ideal food weather day? Also, what seasonal weather would you look forward to? | ” |
