This Used to Be America’s Top Beer Style. What Happened?
Craft beer drinkers have a short memory, so perhaps only a handful would remember when the West Coast-style IPA ruled America. The style – known for its pale, bright appearance, high bitterness and strong hop aroma – had a modest upbringing, born from the increasingly hoppy pale ales of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. Then, spurred by friendly rivalries among San Diego breweries during the mid-2000s.

Hall of Fame wrestler Hulk Hogan is back! But not in the ring and he’s not telling his “Hulkamaniacs” to take their vitamins anymore. He’s now selling his own brand of beer in the Twin Cities. The beer, an American-made light lager, is a 4.2% ABV easy-drinker according to the Hulkster.
Why local vintners are turning to spirits for future sales growth
Increasingly more North Coast wine companies are exploring or diving into distilled spirits. Jackson Family Wines in Santa Rosa last month launched a bourbon whiskey whose theme plays off the major vintner’s long involvement with the Kentucky Derby. Napa Valley’s John Anthony Family of Wines, maker of John Anthony premium wines and lower-priced Butter Chardonnay, this month changed its name to John Anthony Wine & Spirits as it plans to roll out ready-to-drink tequila cocktails.
Customer Correspondence
“Hi Gary
Hope all is well. Everything has been going well with Dual Pricing. I have had a few complaints but nothing to lose sleep over. We have saved close to $25,000.00 over the last 6 months.
I have given my employees raises and been able to keep my prices lower than most of the competition around me. Wish I had made the switch a year ago.
Thanks again! Joe“
