Who forgot to pay off the guard?!

A link to…what? The regulation you’re talking about doesn’t exist. Hence why the observable reality exists of major distributors selling beer under the label “craft”.

There are all sorts of regulations around classifications of breweries in the US and the amount of beer they can sell in a year without contracting under a distributor (who is federally certified for all manor or food safety regulations). The major distributors also have branch companies that produce certain “craft” brands and therefore are distributed in small enough quantity to be considered microbrews. But the reality is that small loopholes allow for “craft” to be largely meaningless.

Not sure how things are where you’re at, but in the US at this point actual microbreweries are everywhere. Every neighborhood in a major metro area will generally have at least one, and they all visibly make their beer on site in small batches. There’s a very clear difference between those breweries and the ones that sell their “craft” beer all over the country like Sierra Nevada, Blue Moon, etc. The styles and quality are not particularly different these days as they were in the past.

Elon levels of pathetic right here lmao

I guess you're happy to post it in full for us then?

Did the clocks go forward an hour or back 50 years in the "Protestant village"?

Seriously, one link, one refernce, anything.

I'm assuming you have better given your misplaced confidence.

>hence why US regulatory agencies are relevant to the discussion

By all means, then, show me the FDA definition, if it is the only one you will accept, aside from the several I already did.

Please also remember that both companies sell on the international market so your bizarre jurisdictional claim on behalf of the FDA is, frankly, the mark of a fool.

She and Margarine Taylor Greene and many more like them are trolls. They are only looking to get a reaction from democrats. Making democrats foam at the mouth is what the moronic qanon and maga groups react to. There is no legislation or political wins that any of the conspiracy theorist idiots understand. All they understand is angering the opposition. That is what they crave. We pay attention to these idiots and that’s why we have them. Vote against them every chance you get but give them no attention whatsoever in the meantime.

I’m not sure where your confusion is bud. You’re the one who initiated the conversation. Molson Coors and InBev are US companies, hence why US regulatory agencies are relevant to the discussion.

The “Brewers Association” is not a government entity. Their opinions hold no more weight over these companies and their business practices than you or me.

Many “craft” food items are still produced and distributed by major companies, they are just allowed to be called craft based on the original recipe or process used. Capitalism is disappointing sometimes, I know.

It looks like the general consensus on craft beer in the US is simply based on the number of barrels of that particular beer made annually. If they exceed a certain amount, it’s not craft anymore.

Maybe they should go to England instead.

>Maybe if you had quoted the FDA

By all means, please do.

Please note, I don't live in the US so I couldn't give two tugs of a dead dog's cock what the FDA think.

But, please, enlighten me, captain beerlord.

Uh…that’s correct, a private interest group does not make definitive decisions on the legal industry terminology. Maybe if you had quoted the FDA this would be a different discussion. If you’ve ever been to a bar in the last 20 years, you’ll know that beers sold under major parent labels are allowed to be called craft beer.

> An absolutely ludicrous position to hold, and a childishly self-centred one.

🤡

So, the fucking Brewer's Association (ref 3) doesn't have a say in the industry definition? But some clown on reddit does?

An absolutely ludicrous position to hold, and a childishly self-centred one.

Jog onwards and upwards.

This reminds me of websites that have number fields auto populated with a zero instead of blank, so when you enter a number you're 10x what you wanted. Absolutely infuriating and inexcusable.

GM recently advertised that they offer something towards the cost of charging stations. Of course, those rebates are added to the cost of the car anyway.

Agreed

Sure they spend more time playing the flute than being in school

I will never understand how anyone got time for that shit.

That's not what an aperiodic tiling means.
The analogy is:
3.141414141414141414141414 with 14 repeating infinitely would kinda be like periodic.

The first few digits of pi are:
3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197... but it continues on forever.
That's closer to aperiodic.

What you've done is point at the two instances of 97 and said, "see it repeats".

Just like you will never find a finite series of digits that if repeated will give you pi exactly. You will never find a group that if repeated infinitely, would tile infinitely.

And the same survey reported that two out of ten reported brushing and flossing their teeth more than twice a year.

No one really does, but they have to go somewhere, and "where they came from" seems like a fair choice.
