Heineken is betting on a brew made with marijuana instead of alcohol

Weird, I figured with that skunk taste, it was always hopped with schwag.

Friend of mine brews some, the problem is a flood of "craft companies." The more companies/breweries, the less profit to go around. Basically he was saying you better have a dang good beer if you want to survive/turn a profit otherwise your fighting a losing battle. Too many breweries churning out bad beer, covering it up with hops and calling it an ipa.

He then started going into about how it preserves better with a lot of hops (I think I'm remembering this right) and quality non bitter beer is harder to preserve because of temperature requirements or something another. Somewhere at this point I started feeling like patrick on spongebob. Just drooling with a blank stare, so this might not be exact.

I'm sure that whatever form this cannabis beer takes, it will be far superior to that disgusting rotten swill Heineken produces.

The "beer industry" is doing fantastic. If you could buy somehow the entire industry as a stock, it'd be going through the roof.

The large breweries are losing market share to the smaller ones though, collectively, as a group. And I think we are getting to a point where the market for craft beer is really saturated...there are just so many of them and I think it's getting to a point where the market can't support them all.

A city like Asheville is unique one-off case and can probably support a tun of breweries, but when I see a mid-sized city like Chattanooga with several local breweries, a larger city like Birmingham with even more, I do wonder if there's enough money/demand to go around. Craft beer is a really popular thing, but a ton of people recognized that and started breweries, and it seems like there are too many.

That was a rumor/myth floated around regarding IPAs several years ago. But there was evidence of other styles of beer being able to survive long voyages and that the early IPAs were actually less hoppy than the modern IPAs.

Just have an edible and wash it down with a brew. Guess I'm old fashioned, I mean if you're into that sort of thing.
