Germany used to have a lot of breweries, and nowadays they all produce less than they did years ago. But they don’t understand why they’re losing so much. They see themselves as the victim.” — Sebastian Sauer on Beer Sessions Radio “The brewers in Germany don’t seem to get that people want something different, something that’s not being offered to them. We were just talking about how the same thing happened here [in the U.S.]. It had boiled down to a few suppliers that were brewing basically the same beer.” — Ted Kenny on Beer Sessions Radio “You can be creative and be unique and people will respond.” — David Yarrington on Beer Sessions Radio See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
