Craft Beer News (04/21/23) – The Champagne of Craft Beer News

CRAFT BEER PODCAST NEWS EPISODE! The BA announced the top 50 this year and there are some big jumps. We see more merger organizations joining the top 50, Athletic is inching close to the top 10, and we say goodbye to Bell’s in the list officially. Wendy talks about more than 2000 cans of High Life being destroyed in Europe, and Dan talks about refreshers from Smirnoff and we look into beer refreshers and ask why many breweries are changing up some of the most well known craft beer brands including Fat Tire, Boston Lager, and the new edition, Lager of the Lakes from Bells.
