hat’s a quote from spacecoyote on another thread. It has me reflecting. Anyone else feeling that imports are pricey? Anyone’s buying/consumption patterns changing or about to? Is this helping the American craft brew industry by reducing competition? Is American exporting more craft beer? Any other potential earth altering changes on our main interest stemming from a weak dollar?

I can tell you right now that I won’t be buying a $22 bottle of witbier from Italy anytime soon when I could get 8 bottles of Allagash Witte for the same price or 2 growlers of City Steam White Rabbit for the same price and be just as happy. 7/13/2008 6:18:44 PM

Time to wake up. Post-Frodo, Aragorn has saved middle earth. Dark lords and all that are just a memory. Except, who’s distributing that fantastic ale from Minas Tirith? Or was it from Edoras? Oh, no, it’s from San Marcos. Shark Attack. Yeah, baby!
