Craft Beer Brew Humor
So I run a liquor store which speciallizes in craft beer. #1 store in the state, to be more specific. I live and breath beer. If I'm not selling beers or ordering beers for the store, I'm buying beers, reading about beers, brewing beers, out with beer reps drinking beers. You get it.
Over the past few years I've been getting more and more disenfranchised with the what is being considered "craft" beer. This really hit hard with feedback from my last 3 batches.
Super crisp- clean, sessionable Lager: Too boring
Top tier West Coast IPA: Too bitter, not hazy or fruity enough
Marshamallow Dessert stout (I wasn't happy with sub-par quality) AMAZING!!!
Long story short, I want to brew more "Craft" beers. Does anybody have any recipes for a good New England Double Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Tropical Salted Caramel Double Dry Hopped Extra Oat Cream Vanilla Milkshake Chocolate Raspberry Icecream Sour White Stout Infused with Mint, Hibiscus and Truffle oil?

There has never been an easier time to access a huge variety of craft lagers than today and yet all you hear from beer snobs is “why are there so many IPAs? Why aren’t there more LAGER options???” It’s just the same shit you’d hear from beer snobs 25 years ago, except with the styles reversed.
I get it, you think the kids aren’t alright. You liked beer before it was cool. The good news is that there’s tons of beer for everyone. We’re spoiled for choice, I don’t get why we need to see this rant 20 times a day on beer reddit/Instagram/etc.
