RE: Boet Beer from The Boet Beer Brewing Co by Four Cousins (Wines): Another Winery Brewing Beer #BeerSaturday

in BEERlast year

I thought I was the only one who has been underwhelmed by beer that comes out of predominantly wine-producing brewers. I was looking through my archives for a Magnotta beer up here which is a wine producer and a 'meh beer but couldn't find it.

This one is another very forgettable beer by a winery/distillery that seems to be just throwing hats in rings for market share.

Not that I don't have a big appreciation for clean, unassuming pure beer. We even brew a cream and golden ale regularly. Just seems there hasn't been anything special from the beer producing wine companies here too.

Oh for sure! I am so glad that I am not the only one. It seems like as you say they just want a market share. Same with the big corporate beers in South Africa - these companies brew their standard mass-market beers, but they tried to tap into the craft market. These beers are so forgettable as you say. They have all of this money and knowledge behind them, but they are too scared to risk anything, as a result producing nothing worth really drinking or spending the money on.

I tried this one (in the post) and it was the second or third attempt at tasting a beer brewed by a winery, and it will be the last! Really not worth it.

I would gladly spend the money on some beer brewed by a smaller brewery to help them!

Thanks for the wonderful comment!

Us fermenters and brewers and #beeologists gotta stick together!

For sure, I agree 100%!
