Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 3251372, member: 1026"] Maybe there are too many, but as a consumer it is kind of fun that there are so many and that you get to try a diversity of different beers and brewers/brewing styles. And I hope that a lot of breweries are local, get a good local following and simply stay that way. I'm willing to give business to a local good not great brewery just like I prefer a local restaurant to a chain. Too many breweries is why there are rating websites and other things. There are too many wineries, but wine drinkers don't necessarily complain about that. What's the purpose of rooting for places to fail or fold? I prefer a world where smaller breweries exist like local restaurants do and can stay alive predominately or even exclusively by catering to a local clientele. [/QUOTE]
