Over at The Full Pint, Dan Becker has written a great post about the gimmicks and trends that are beginning to appear in the craft beer market.
These include corked and caged 750ml bottles, waxed 22oz bottles, canned beers, barrel aged beers, dry hopping, collaborations, limited releases, rye IPAs and black IPAs.
While these don’t necessarily indicate the brewer is trying to cover up a bad beer with a good trick, it is good to know what to look out for when sizing up a beer, so you can be a smarter beer buyer.
