I thought it was a light!
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
Saw that just now and laughed.
wtf is a craft beer, something that costs twice a much as usual?
wtf is a craft beer, something that tastes twice a good as usual?
Fixed.
The "craft" part of "Craft beer" is increasingly not really the point.
Craft Brewing got a toe hold because the megabreweries chose not to brew flavoursome styles such as IPAs, APAs, most Pilsners, Wheat beer, Celtic red ales, Brown ales, black ales and stouts, instead choosing to (usually) only flood the market with sweet flavourless (in comparison) lager's and bitters.
For a long time that was just the way beer was.
And then enthusiasts began brewing their own beers of other styles. They did so on a small artisan scale and hence the term "Craft beer".
However it started a revolution. As more and more people realised beer could be so much more enjoyable than the lagers and bitters the big breweries had always served up... people started to revel in different hops, malts, and styles of beer.
Due to the scale of production, and the more expensive ingredients, prices were higher. But many people were willing to pay the premium to get a tastier more enjoyable beer.
Now however, what is an is not a "craft beer" is becoming increasingly irrelevant. The large breweries have seen the step change in the market and people's preferences and are starting to brew the styles that have traditionally been associated with the "craft beer" label. Craft has meant small scale, and for a long time the only way to get some styles of beer was from artisan brewers. Now however the many of the styles are being brewed by craft brewers AND by the big breweries.
So, while "craft beer" has been a sensible label, we are (thankfully) moving into an era where whether the brewery is or is not a craft brewery or not no longer matters. What matters is the style of beer. Hooray!
Give me a hoppy IPA, APA or a red or brown ale any day. I don't mind people who like lagers and bitters - all power to them. I just like the fact that now there is a choice.

A bit off topic, but there is a good video about a brewery that let's you the create your own craft beer:
Two Roads Brewing Co. doesn't just make booze.
They provide a platform for any small craft beer to program their own flavors.
Years ago there used to a small brewery in Henderson that was set up so you could go along and make your own beer - a bit like an upmarket home brew operation. You could make it yourself or they could help you design a beer and make it for you. I remember trying one they made that had a chili in each bottle [like the worm in a bottle of tequila] you could taste the heat....

I can report that the spin spud (aka spirally potato on a stick) was not too bad.
It was basically a fancy chip (deep-fried potato)... but ON A STICK.
Quite tasty, a bit overpriced at $4.50 - maybe $2.50 would be good value.
The stick itself was quite substantial. A good source for kindling or for self-defence purposes (of the pointed stick variety).

Would have preferred to pay the extra $2 on fresh fruit rather than a pointed stick.

Loving the food options at Hutt Wreck.
Had Indonesian last week, fire truck pulled pork burger this week ...
It won't be possible to try everything in three weeks ...
Might have to be the pulled pork on the 7th. Finish work at 5pm and a quick dash to the game.
the food truck options will be awesome for the next game, plan on heading in early for the nix legends game.
Went along to the ABs game tonight and got to see the new food options available. It was a mixed experience for us and I was slightly annoyed myself to find that Fritz's Wieners have been relegated to being outside. Will be interesting to see what options are open for Nix games.
And the Fritz are more expensive than ever. I'll not be having them any more.

2 years ago Fritz wieners were $8.50, coke was $4 and donuts were $5. That's a dollar increase every season.

Got a frtiz weiner in town the other day and it days $9,so the price increase might not be down to just the stadium.

Fair enough, I'm assuming the cost of being at the stadium may have increased which is why prices have gone up. But still $10 for a weiner is getting close to too much.

I know it's easy to kick the stadium and sure, on some occasions it's valid - but they're not the source of all the world's ills (or the only cost involved in providing Weiner goodness).
When I first bought Fritz Weiners, they were $7.50 and a coke was $4.00 but the bottle was the next size up from what we currently get.

Or even good old supply and demand.
If it's the only decent grub on offer and people want it, he will put his price up. Good on him if that's the case.
