It's totally oversaturated. The shelves are full of local and its 95% gross. Can we F off with the hops? Pineapple pumpkin espresso IPA. Call it Kaopectate and be done with it.
We used to have a very wide range of Belgian (the best) on the shelves, now its "local" crap at the the same price point.
My buddy is a partner at Origin and he confirms its a brutally tough market. They have the backdrop of being the malters for a bunch of other places as their core business but tough breaking in.
Ol Beautiful seems to be the front runner currently, but I don't even like it. I get free six packs from there and I can't choke it down.
The hops don't sit well in the guts.

Origin Pilsner was fantastic and they went and discontinued it. It was a staple among my group each new guy that tried it ended up adding it to the rotation. All of the sudden it was unobtanium.
What's the story with Tool Shed?
