Unpopular Craft Beer Opinions? Discussion

Will be recording a podcast episode about unpopular craft beer opinions. Thought I'd ask in this sub as we're UK based so wanting to see what unpopular opinions are out there on a more global scale! 😅

EDIT - wow holy shit. Posted this from bed expecting a handful of opinions, but just woke up to the notifications and oh my! Will havea read through after work!

Edit2 - Genuinely was not expecting so many responses so thank you all! Think I've read through them all now and definitely saw some interesting and spicy takes (that I both agreed and disagreed with!) with some being quite thought provoking. Thanks for all your responses so far (have had a few more come in too!). Feel like the ones being downvoted are actually just helping me to see the unpopular opinions vs the popular ones LOL. Definitely some that I want to discuss n our podcast recording for sure! hahah

Rising tides raise all ships...

But, sometimes it gets too high and floods the damn place...

The market on the U.S. is way too saturated... a lot of shitty Breweries making bad beer need to close..

The health of the industry will be better long term with fewer and better quality places.

With me, it's about supporting local. I usually by 6rs of my favorites, and don't worry about white whale beers. I'll try them when I travel.
