I dunno, some craft beers are good but almost universally anyone who makes a big deal about it tries to peddle worthless shit beer that's just small batch feces to seem more hipster than the other guy. It's never "hey I tried this one that was really good" it's "yea but that's only because you haven't discovered Bill's Basement Toilet Brew IPA yet, they only make one 1.5L bowl a year so I think you've just missed the cutoff unfortunately, maybe next year if you're into the scene a bit more."

Craft beer is mainstream. If you consider it hipster at all these days you are really, really living in the past or are completely disconnected with reality.

No, bud light is mainstream. Craft beer is not as hipster as a board game cafe for instance but it is not mainstream

Publix(a huge grocery chain in FL and the south) has a large craft beer section. It's pretty mainstream. Don't let your two fastfood-joint-town mislead you.

Wal Mart sells Sam Adam's which is technically craft. Is Wal Mart too hipster for you too Noodle?

Every single liquor store that I visited in the past year has an extensive craft beer section now. Some even devote entire walk in fridge sections to craft brews. Its for sure main stream. the hipsters are now drinking bud light because everyone else is drinking crafty shit.

It's ok, Noodle. I enjoy your hipster hating, even if it's sometimes as inaccurate as your tastebuds.

The problem here is that people call it "craft beer". What does that even mean? It's beer. IPA's aren't a new style, Belgian wits aren't a new style, sours are not a new style, saisons are not a new style.

This stuff has been brewed for centuries. People in America just started making more of them and gave the movement a stupid name.

Oh shit... it IS hipster...

To keep the thread on track sipping a hipster beer from a tulip glass has started plenty of conversations with women. My hipster beer has gotten me laid!

I'm going to guess that given:
-alcohol is only a portion of the calories of high-calorie beers
-you need to drink a certain minimum per hour to overload your liver
-and even then, probably not all of it is metabolized via this secondary method

That this probably doesn't go as far as you're implying to "free drinks!". But still, interesting concept I was unaware of, thanks.
No, there are definitely calories in beer/wine that don't come from alcohol which would be stored normally. For beer, not as many as you'd think though (depending on style), when you see the 300 number kicked around the bulk of that is counting the alcohol. An IPA won't have that many more residual sugars than say, a Michelob Ultra for example. A stout on the other hand...

Also when your liver kicks into the microsomal ethanol oxidizing system it also starts producing toxins that one should probably worry more about than some potential extra calories. But if you are counting calories it is worth knowing, I guess.

Yeah it has been brewed for centuries but not here. Most of the swill being brewed here was what? Mostly tasteless pilsners infused with rice to make it cheaper and even more lacking in flavor. Even the shit that was imported was more shitty pilsner which were laughed at in their respective countries whence they came from. So yeah, a beer that isnt that, brewed in small batches, thats relatively new HERE, can be considered a craft beer. The movement really started (in the 80s-90s?) when government eased the laws concerning home brewing, which was illegal up until that time.
