I know why they do it (business safety and not taking chances) but dont we all just wish they’d stop playing it safe and give chris and yasunori a chance to flex their creative muscles? Still it makes sense to play safe and we all know their beers taste god anyhoo, evne if we dont know which is which’
Agreed. There is an amazing brewery there ready to take wings, but until they remove the chocks they are way too safe for me to make them a regular purchase. |

May I just say that this is a ratebeer thread, for beer geeks and does not represent the opinions of all beer lovers.
I think some others might check this thread and get upset.
I got some positive feedback from a brewer or two about my posts and I apologise to them and anyone else for my poor choice of words at times. I was very busy and very stressed and typed it all out very fast. I had drank a lot of coffee.
My intention was never to insult or attack. I love beer and that is my number one. However, i dont want to throw insults and some of my wording was rushed, childish and ill conceived.
I’ll try to do better and this is just a hypothetical top 10 beer list and not the court of human rights or something actually seriously important.
Some brewers i won’t apologise to but anyone in a top ten deserves respect.
I love you all and thanks for putting up with me.
Good to see different opinions, as always.
My votes were based on beers ive drank plus experiences id had with brewers and breweries. |
Cheers Chuwy! Have requested a couple more top tens from a few people and will compile all the info soon. Should we have a deadline and a grand reveal date? |
p.s. quite a few brewers chekc this thread, as im sure some more careful posters are aware of. I got message by one person who was awesome and made me realsie id not worded my opinion very fairly and it turns out he doesn’t hate me! - always a plus. One reason why i went back and edited my post. I think a few others know which brewers are on rate beer and are careful not to offend. i really think that disclaimer should be put at the start of the thread. I went in like a bull in a chinashop. I was stressed, over worked and extremely tired and typed it all very fast.
I screwed up a few entries but i was trying to be honest but i went overboard once or twice. or a 100 times.
I do get the feeling that my opinions are very much not welcome quite often from the craft community and for two reasons. One is that i do often moan a lot and we all know this (one reason for moaning more than is necessary is that no other bugger does that - apart from Kansai Chuwy Philip).
Another reason is that i dont seem to be playing by the rules and just say everything is awesome. Well, we all know that it isnt.
Saying that means nothing will change.
Yes, i can be more polite and kinder with my comments but hell, most of you lot can be a bit more honest as well and i guess that means having a go at me but if that is being honest, then i take that any day over false niceities. I almost typed nice titties. id accept false nice titties but only if they were really nice. |
