This is depressing..........

This is depressing.......... 14 years 6 months ago #13

I've seen Diageo do it with Smithwicks, true, but I didn't see Heineken doing it there.

Besides, I think you can't deny the craft in macrobeer. Their quality control is amazing. And there IS a time and a place for a glass of Heineken.

I think it's worthwhile supporting small local brewers because they are small and local but 'craft' doesn't mean small and local.

However, Beoir encourages a definition of 'Irish craft beer' as beer made in Ireland, by an Irish company which brews less than 20k hL per year.

And Heineken ain't that.

Maybe we need a new word that's copyrightable and unique.

No.

This is to replace "craft". You wouldn't use bneer for anything nevermind to sub for craft.

It's only a general idea.

I have always maintained some Irish organisation should do an accredition system like Cask Marque, LocAle, and so on.

I do like LocAle. It's clever.

LocAle is indeed a great idea, though it doesn't have a defined meaning:
