It’s been a busy few weeks on social media and among the topics catching my eye are THC beverages vaulting to the next phase in their adoption, the release of a Cold Black IPA 😳 by one of the most respected breweries in the country, and pleas for help as craft breweries shut their doors all around the country.
Totally agree with that last statement. Rather than pleading consumers to support you, give them reason to support you. If your beer is great, your pub food is great, you have a fun space, and/or fun events...we'll all be there to support you. I will admit that while I drink Metro's beers, with how many there are to choose from, it's pretty limited. And living in the suburbs now makes it hard to support in the taproom as much as I did living in the city. Now if Mikerphone, Noon Whistle, Standard, More, or Phase shuttered...I'd be surprised, cause there are now the ones within my area which get fairly normal support. Along with brands like Hop Butcher, Saint Errant, Rev, Half Acre, and Old Irving by way of the liquor store.
Got to say, I love this quote "It’s not our fans’ job to keep finding reasons to love us. It’s our job to give them the reasons." 100% Amen
Covid getting blamed a lot, too. Not sure that's the case but I guess it's a story that helps save face.
