I thought this was an interesting post about the current craft brewing craze of (or at least the beer geeks infatuation with) ever bigger, hoppier, oakier, and boozier beers at the expense of delightfully subtle lagers. I have been arguing in favor of balance for some time and have garnered the undeserved title of “hop-hater” (albeit often in jest).

The followup comments are also of interest.
