Personally, we're of the "more local beer, the better" mentality. We won't be satiated until every neighborhood has a brewpub, you can meet your neighbors for a pint on every corner, and the streets run golden with tasty, fizzy elixir. Until that glorious day, we'll be happy to see more and more industry vets and ambitious homebrewers striking out in new directions. In the last year we've seen many craft beer players trying on new projects. Whether it's Pete Slosberg (of Pete's Wicked Ales) working on a new line of session beers or Bruery alums working on an all-sour project, more diversity in our local brewing scene is always welcome.
