Of course, nobody is immune. It’s just that a certain "any sour is gr8" craze has built up there amoung certain circles, with people raving about utter garbage. But hey, that’s humanity for you.

/thread, pretty much.

The worst thing about it is that this inane trend amongst the drinkers encourages trends amongst the brewers, causing them to divert effort into doing whatever is the highly-raved-about garbage of the month. Be it using saison yeast in inappropriate contexts, souring everything ("throwing in a brett cube" as I like to call it), making super-sweet boozy BAs, or use of some fucked-up new hop. Which takes their focus off their actually good beers. Which is bad for those of us who actually like good beer.

great avatar, Cletus!

Sour Brett beers are the worst

Like Budweiser with their lame a-- "hard way" commercial, poking fun at something is usually indicative of feeling threatened.
