Beer: the next generation
Thanks for the write-up. The more exposure for craft beer the better. Quite funny how times have changed, though. I distinctly remember being spoken to in a dismissive and condescending tone when I approached McLaughlin and Moran for a job in 2001. After stating how much I enjoyed the recent surge in craft beer and saw a future for it in RI, I was just about laughed off and told "Do you know which distributor we are? (The "King of Beers") This isn't the place for you." Wonder if that manager is still employed there... One gripe: a little fact checking is in order. Delirium Tremens is not 20% abv (more like 9%), Dale's Pale Ale is not the only craft beer to be canned (there are dozens, with many brewed here in New England), etc. Again though, nice job overall.
