I've been saying for a while that the ones that don't brew more than average beers will die.  This brewery expansion era just can't last much longer.

There are now about 6 or 7 breweries within 15 minutes of my house but 3 of them don't produce any beers I've really enjoyed so I won't go back.  The problem with me is that I'm totally spoiled by drinking Trillium and Tree House beers a lot so that most of the new stuff I try isn't very good in comparison.  But there are a lot of good breweries in the Northeast so I will continue to try other stuff.  I usually check Untappd before I get a beer and only try the beer if it's rated around 3.9 or higher.  I've noticed over the years that my tastes are pretty consistent with that overall rating.  Under 3.8 or so and most of the time I don't like it that much.  Over 3.9-4.0 and I usually like it.  Obviously that's not fool proof and I've disagreed many times with the overall rankings.  Most of the time I just like to try the local stuff whatever a bar or restaurant has and sometimes the best rated local beer isn't rated in that higher range but I order it anyway.  I can't remember the last time I had a mass produced beer brewed with adjuncts.  Probably at least 30 years ago.
