While a <i>local</i> brewer's beer might well be available all over the world, most of their production will typically be sold locally.<br /><br />And yes, SIBA has associate members who aren't full brewing members (cos they're too big) who choose to support the organisation anyway.<br /><br />And, no, SIBA adopting that Word wouldn't "make the term "craft" synonymous with cask". SIBA brewers choose to put their beer into all kinds of containers. SIBA has been running a "craft keg" competion for a while now. And of course there's that "bottled keg" stuff. I don't know (off the top of my head) what proportion of SIBA members only brew for cask, but it's worth remembering that they're not the brewing wing of CAMRA.StringersBeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573068197944669997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-47617807824131162212013-10-25T17:52:30.782+01:002013-10-25T17:52:30.782+01:00By any definition, all beer is local to somewhere....By any definition, all beer is local to somewhere.

Recently Hardknott Dave stated that he didn't regard as 'craft' a beer that had been brewed the same way 20 or even 10 years. I pointed out that' craft' did not mean 'innovative'. Constant change is not part of the dictionary definition of the word, and craftsmen and women in other fields might object to their lifetime of accumulated experience being written off by beer blogger, even if he is also a micro-brewer.<br /><br />I'd like SIBA to adopt this word for two reasons: firstly, it would involve a more accurate use of the word than if it were confined to keg; and secondly, to tell self-important 'craft' brewers that they can't hijack and redefine a word to suit their own business reasons.Neville Grundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923209266005338452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-20551995367023968642013-10-23T21:47:03.475+01:002013-10-23T21:47:03.475+01:00For me, a craft brewery relies on its product rath...For me, a craft brewery relies on its product rather than in advertising and PR companies. Crafted products should be able to stand alone. As soon as a brewery starts forcing its products its lost the craft in my mind.

"Independent" and "local" are pretty evocative words all by themselves that, unlike "craft", have the advantage that their definition doesn't leave much room for discussion and are not as polarising.<br /><br />What they could do, perhaps, is to take the only sensible part of BrewDog's definition, the honesty bit. That is something I believe many consumers will appreciate and value (unless they have that policy already, in which case, forget I've said anything).PivnĂ Filosofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883511608403454943noreply@blogger.com
