It's a sad that you can't just sell a Porter anymore. Have to throw banana and peanut butter in it or make it 15% alcohol to get accepted by the 'craft beer' aficionados.

Well, I don't like hoppy beers, and I especially don't like IPAs. I like malty dark beers like dunkels or Irish reds, and those are apparently way down on the "craft beer" clout list.
